Ziba Keith, the eldest son of Benjamin and Martha (Cary) Keith, was born Nov. 10, 1789, and married Nov. 25, 1813, Sally Cary, daughter of Jonathan and Abigail (Perkins) Cary, the former a direct descendant in the fifth generation from John Cary, who was one of the first settlers and first town clerk of the mother town of Bridgewater; and the latter a direct descendant in the third generation from Mark Perkins, the son of Luke, who came from Ipswich, Mass., to North Bridgewater in 1741. To Capt. Ziba and Sally (Cary) Keith were born the following children: Benjamin, born Oct. 19, 1814, married Seraphina W. Lothrop, of West Bridgewater; Franklin, born Jan. .28, 1816, married Betsey Bailey, of Sidney, Maine; Martha Cary, born Dec 6, 1817, married Henry Jackson, of North Bridgewater; Martin, born Sept. 12, 1819, died Nov. 26, 1820; Martin Luther, born Feb. 8, 1822, married (first) Mary Keith and (second) Mrs. Isabella Clark: Nancy Cary, born April 14, 1824, died Jan. 30, 1838; David and Jonathan, twins, were born May 12, 1826, the former dying Sept. 23, 182G, and the latter married I first) Lavina Ames and (second) Olive P. Foster: Levi Watson, born April 9, 1830, married Amelia S. Ripley. The mother of these children, one of a family remarkable for their domestic attachment, passed away after a lingering illness Sept. 26, 1832, and the father married (second) March 13, 1834, Polly Noyes, daughter of Daniel and Huldah (Jenkins) Noyes, of Abington, Mass., and to this union were born children as follows: Daniel Noyes, born April 29, 1835, married Mary Howard, of North Bridgewater; Edwin, born Aug. 21, 1840, married Ellen R. Howard; Ziba Cary, born July 13, 1842, married Abbie F. Jackson, of North Bridgewater. Capt. Ziba Keith was born in the old homestead on Main street, and being of strong, robust build was, physically, well fitted for the occupation which he mainly followed, that of a farmer. He early learned to make and repair shoes under his grandfather, Levi Keith, and for some years, during the winter months, continued this business, inherited from his ancestors, in the "Old Red Shop." As his sons became of age, they were likewise instructed in the art of shoemaking; and the entire number were in due time graduated from the benches beneath its roof. By a provision of his grandfather's will, he came into possession of the property at the corner of Main and Plain streets in 1813, and upon the death of his father, in 1814, he was appointed administrator of his estate, and also administered several other estates. On May 29, 1816, he was commissioned, by Governor Brooks, as an ensign of a company in the 3d Regiment of Infantry, 1st Brigade, 5th Division, and on Dec. 5, 1822, was promoted to a captaincy in the same company; which title, then acquired, attached to him through life. As a man Captain Keith was upright and just in all his dealings; as a neighbor, kind and respected by all, willing always to bear his share of private and public burdens; and as if father, considerate and forbearing, fulfilling the summary of the whole law, "serving God and keeping His commandments" and "doing unto others as he would they should do unto him." Capt. Ziba Keith died Sept. 28, 1862, in the seventy-third year of his age, his widow surviving him, dying June 14, 1882.
