Note: According to the Gillett genealogy, there is little doubt the Rev. William Gillett or Gyllett, Rector of Chaffcombe, Somerset, is the father of Jonathan.
In 1599 he signed a Chillington bishops transcript, as curate there. He was ordained a priest by the Bishop of Bath & Wells on 28 Sept. 1600 and licensed as curate of Kingston, Somerset on 13 Oct. 1601, where he served until he was instituted as rector of Chaffcombe on 4 Feb. 1610, a post he held until his death shortly before 2 April 1641/

Note: WILLIAM KELSEY, the first of the Kelsey name in America, was born in England about 1600.
Harleian Society Publications, Vol. XIV, Visitation of Essex, Part 2, page 588, gives the Kelsey pedigree as follows: "George Kelsey of Thorpe in County Essex, descended out of Cheshire; wife Elizabeth, daughter of William Hamond of Westmill Bury, in County Hertford; issue:
WILLIAM;
HENRY (second son) of Gray's Inn, Barrister, etc., of Winchester, England, married Mary, daughter of (??) Maning, chancellor of Exeter;
JOHN, of Chelmsford in County Essex, married Martha, daughter of Jeoffrey Lingwood, of Braintree in County Essex."
===========
It is possible that William Kelsey married in England before 1632, and that his eldest child may have been born there, or shortly after his arrival in Cambridge.
We have no record of his marriage, nor any positive record of the name of his wife. Hinman says her name was Bethia and that after the death of her husband, she married David Phillips, of Milford, but this is disproved by the records, for Bethia Kelsey was the wife of David Phillips in 1665, and William was still living in 1675, therefore Bethia Kelsey Phillips must have been the daughter of William, it being impossible for her to have been his wife.
Accordingly, with due apologies to Hinman, Savage and other authorities, and awaiting proofs to the contrary, we here assume that William Kelsey was born in England about 1600; that he married in England, Bethia Hopkins(?), born about 1605-1610; that Mark was the eldest son, born probably in England before 1628; that Bethia (wife of David Phillips) was the eldest daughter, granting the mother's name to have been "Bethia," as it was customary to name the eldest daughter for her mother, and that she, Priscilla and possibly Mary, were all born before the removal to Hartford; that John was born about the time of the removal to Hartford (1636), he and the four younger children whose births are recorded at Hartford, being perhaps by a second wife, although this last can only be left to conjecture.
William Kelsey removed from Hartford to Killingworth, Conn.
=================
From the Kelsey Kindred Association:
William Kelsey was one of the original "Braintree Company" followers of the Reverend Thomas Hooker, who came to America and they were the first settlers of "New Towne" (now Cambridge) Massachusetts in 1632. Reverend Hooker joined them the following year.
In June, 1636, Mr. Hooker and Mr. Stone, with more than 50 families of the "first church" (Mr. Hooker's) removed to Connecticut where, in the valley of the same name, they established another "New Towne" which was changed to "Hartford" on February 21, 1637. Among these were William Kelsey.
Coming to "Hartford" with the Hooker Company, William Kelsey was one of the "original proprietors" and, as such, his name appears on the "Founders Monument" in the "ancient burying ground" of the First Congregational Church of that city, presently known as "Center Church". His name is also found on the "Adventurers Boulder" located at City Hall, Hartford, CT.
In March 1663, William Kelsey and 26 others migrated to the "Hammonossit Plantation" and founded the Town of "Kenilworth", later changed to "Killingworth". In 1738, the town was separated into North and South parts. The South part called "Clinton" and the North, "Killingworth".
William Kelsey had 9 children: (his wife or wives have not been verified). Mark, Bethia (recent data questions this daughter's name; and, it is thought that it may be either Hester or Esther), Priscilla, Mary, John, Abigail, Stephen, Daniel, and William Jr.
