Edward Keeling married to Mary Warriner not the son of Thomas Keeling and Anne Thorowgood
Keelings and Gouldmans — Close Gouldman family associate and godparent to Gouldman son, husband of Mary Wariner: Edward Keeling of Essex County, Virginia, c1640-1687 is NOT the son of Thomas Keeling 1608–1664 and Anne Thorowgood Keeling Bray 1618–1683 despite many online genealogies claiming it to be so.
In preparation of her own LWT document of March 1683, Ann Bray notes that sons Edward and Thomas Keeling are “some years since deceased.”
When Essex County’s Edward Keeling died in 1687 he left a trust fund of sorts, a valuable cow named ‘Pretty’ along with all of her increase to specifically pay for the education of Edward Gouldman. Edward Gouldman and Edward Keeling would also inherit land together from the Wariner estate, and Edward Keeling would serve as estate administrator for Thomas Gouldman.
Norfolk Co., D & W 4 1675-1686.
p. 160 a. 18 Mar 1683.
