I am trying to solve a brickwalk regarding parents of Bradford Kingsley (1768-1847) parents. His lineage is unknown in the Kingsley book but with a bit of work we may be able to solve that.
Firstly: We solved the mystery of his wife Martha. She appears to be MARTHA CADY, born 1768 to Isaiah Cady and Mary Nelson. (Source BOOK Descendants of Nicolas Cady) We have found her birth record (misspelled). We have not found wedding between Martha Cady and Bradford. We have found that the names of Bradford and Martha (previously unknown)'s children and grandchildren correspond perfectly to Martha Cady parents Isaiah Cady and Mary Nelson.
Secondly: We have connected much source documentation to children of Bradford and Martha: Harriet Kingsley Kellogg, Erastus Kingsley, Isaiah Cady Kingsley, Bradford Kingsley Jr, Martha Kingsley Allen and Joseph Rex Kingsley as well as their many grandchildren. We have also added source information on their daughter SARAH C KINGSLEY who is mentioned in Bradford Kingsley's will but not in the Kinglsey Book. We have identified two daughters HARTY KINGSLEY FOOTE and HEARSY KINGSLEY BLAKESLEE not mentioned in Bradford's will or the Kingsley book. The names of Harty and Hearsy's children correspond to other family names. We have documents connecting Sarah C Kingsley and Hearsy as sisters.

In order to solve Bradford Kingsley parents we are slowly trying to document the whole Kingsley families in New York and Connecticut from around 1720-1800. It is very time consuming to piece it together without the Kingsley book. Many of the Kingsley trees on Ancestry contain errors, mixing up different Kingsley with the same names. It is impossible to keep straight all the various Joseph, William, Jonathan and other Kingsleys. We need your help.
1) KINGSLEY BOOK Would you be willing to do look ups for us. Contact us!
2) KINGSLEY TREE - Do you have a Kingsley tree for Connecticut and New York in that era that is correct and checked against the Kingsley book that we could use as a source?
