VII. Mary Keeler, b. in Norwalk, Conn., about 1742; bap. in New Canaan, Conn., 16 May 1742; married, 4 Aug. 1761, in New Canaan, her cousin, Joseph Riggs, who was born in Stamford, Conn., 18 May 1738, son of Miles and Elizabeth (Whitney) Riggs. The fact that she was not alluded to in her father's will, 14 Nov. 1764, while mention was made of her son, Daniel Riggs, indicates that she died before that date; and it seems probable that she died before 1 May 1763, at which date he joined the church in New Canaan. He married (2d), 18 Sept. 1764, in Wilton, Conn., Margaret Resseguie, both of Norwalk.
