Additional notes
-----History of North Adams (Berkshire Co MA) - In 1808 a Baptist church was organized by Elder Calvin Keyes. There is a listing of pastors and it includes George Witherell (from 1808-1813) and Charles B Keyes (from 1 June 1827 to 1 April 1834).
-----History of Saratoga Co NY 1878 RE: Baptist Church of Ballston Spa - this church was a member of the Saratoga Baptist Assn (formed 1805) and a Charles B Keyes was listed as one of the pastors for one year. From Records of the Saratoga Baptist Church... Sabbath, 21 June 1835 "...We are at present favored with the labors of Bro. Chas. B Keyes as our pastor constantly. He commenced his labors with us the first of May last...." It appears that Bro. C. B. Keyes and Lydia L Keyes were at this church for about a year, but returned there June 1851.
I'm not sure about Ezra, but these others might connect:

Has anyone tracked Charles B Keyes between 1835 and 1851, and later? If anyone can help, I am looking for any info on a George Keyes who was b 1844-1845 Vermont (probably Bennington County).
