No record can be found to-date of a Lydia W. Keith born in New Hampshire, or a T. T. Keith and wife Hannah that lived there, nor can that information be found elsewhere with a daughter named Lydia W. The birthdate and birthplace originally entered was for Lydia Alden Keith, daughter of David and Lydia (Alden) Keith, born in Bridgewater, MA on April 22, 1806, and baptized in East Bridgewater on July 20, 1805. Although this is the only known Lydia found that fits, it doesn't make sense that her husband, Peter Alden, would not know who her parents were as they were cousins at some level, and instead of her middle initial being "A" for Alden, it is "W". This information falls just outside the Mayflower Families Through Five Generations series so nothing could be gleaned from that source.
The second problem is a Lydia A. Keith married David Dunbar, of Easton, in East Bridgewater on January 31, 1836. When Lydia A. (Keith) Dunbar died, her age was abt. 1806 and parents were listed as "Amos" and "unknown." There is no record that an Amos Keith had a daughter named Lydia. The only Lydia A. Keith that fits here is the daughter of David and Lydia Keith.
