- Notes:
Some sources have claimed that Keziah Presbury was either a daughter or sister to Stephen Presbury who married Deborah Skeffe (Skiffe) and they refer to her as Keziah Presbury. Deborah's father Stephen Skeffe refers to "Kezia" as his granddaughter, so she cannot be Stephen Presbury's sister. Since Stephen Presbury was only about 16 at the time of Keziah's birth, it is unlikely he is her father. She is believed to be the illegitimate daughter of Deborah Skeffe before she married Stephen Presbury.
