    Notes:

    The facts concerning Mary Key, the wife of Matthias Chitwood, Sr., are sometimes confusing but have been verified from multiple sources. She was apparently born before or soon after her parents' marriage in 1695. While her place of birth is said to be Northumberland County, Virginia, at least two of her younger brothers were supposed to have been born in England. It is certain that her father, Richard Key, Sr., was born in England where he is buried in St. Paul's Covent Garden. It seems possible Mary was also born in England.
    More is known about the ancestors of Richard Key, Sr. His father was John Key, born on January 23, 1623, in Wilcombe, Oxfordshire, England; he died in 1695. He married Mary Lenman on May 2, 1645.
    John Key's parents were Richard Key, born February 19, 1575, in Widell, Lancashire, England, and Elizabeth Cowper. His father was Thomas Keye (note different spelling), born in 1540 in Widell, Lancashire, England; died about 1575. He married Mary Flower. As an interesting side note, Thomas had an uncle (also named Thomas) whose wife, Mary Grey-Keye, was sister to Lady Jane Grey, Queen of England.
    Thomas Keye's father was Roger Keye, born 1496 in Shepelbothan, Lancashire, England, who married Elizabeth Hurst on September 11, 1539. Roger Keye's father was John Keye, born 1471 in Littlewood, Lancashire, England, who married Margaret Nadem about 1495. He died in 1571.
    The earliest direct ancestor who can be verified is Nicholas Keye, the father of John Keye. He was born in 1420 in Woodsome, Lancashire, England. I have been unable to find the name of his wife or the date of his death.

    Mary's brother Philip Key was the Great Grandfather of Francis Scott Keye the author of the Star Spangled Banner.
