    [Note: the original clearly says 25, so one would guess the only reason for questioning if the date should be 29 is because the compilers want the age at death to match the above birthdate, which happens if the date of death is 29 Sep 1746.]

History of the town of Marlborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts: from its first settlement in 1657 to 1861 : with a brief sketch of the town of Northborough, a genealogy of the families in Marlborough to 1800, and an account of the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of the incorporation of the town.

    "James Keyes was one of the proprietors of the Indian plantation in 1693. He may have been in the town some years before that time. He was probably a descendant of Robert Keyes, of Watertown, as will be seen below."
    [Note: what is "shown below" is that James is a son of Elias who is a son of Robert, but no justification is given. The justification appears to be naming his first son Elias, since Hudson does not report any death date, and thus did not have the matching age at death which is very convincing.]
