William of the Confidence Not First Kerly in America

Classification: Query
Surnames: Kerly/Kerley/Carly/Carley/Cearley
It should be noted that the third wife - Rebecca Jude Josselyn Kerly, third wife of William Kerly, b. 1602 survived after the his death 1670 at Lancaster. This first William could not possibly be the William of the "Confidence" (b 1621) as the William of the "Confidence" noted in his Will that his wife Anna was still living at the time of his death in 1684. Nor could it have been William, Jr, son of the first William, as he was buried at Lexington in 1719 two years prior to his wife Jane, who is buried in the same plot. Ages at time of death bear out that he was William, Jr, b 1633. Therefore - William, b. 1602, was first family to go to Sudbury and Lancaster and the William of the Confidence did not get to Sudbury until about 1643/4 where he married Anna King in 1645. See notes under James Carley of Connecticut (1788 - 1858)
