Editorial
The lead article of this issue is The English Connection of Robert1 Keyes of Watertown and Newbury, Massachusetts, and John1 Swett of Newbury, by
Randy A. West, Robert Battle, and Robert Charles Anderson. The authors' analysis of parish registers of New Buckenham, Norfolk, and other records show that Robert Keyes arrived in Massachusetts in 1637. This conflicts with
Watertown records, which assigns an erroneous birth date of 26 May 1633 to his daughter Sarah.

The probable baptisms of several of the children of John1 Swett of Newbury, Massachusetts, in the parish registers of Wymondham, Norfolk, were mentioned in The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire in
1939,[1] and (re)discovered a number of years ago by Ben Swett and published online.[2]

According to Stackpole's Swett Genealogy, John1 Swett "had wife, Sarah, who died 11 Dec. 1650. He may have had a second wife, Phebe, who died, a widow, 6 May 1665."[4] Ben Swett argues convincingly that Phebe was, in fact, John1 Swett's only known wife.[5]

In an unrelated search through the registers of New Buckenham, Norfolk, a parish about 2-3 miles southwest of Wymondham, the following Swett and Keyes entries were discovered:
