"While the authors acknowledge [Franklin] Keagy's 'History [of the Kaegy Relationship in America from 1715 to 1900]' to be an invaluable family research tool, they doubt that this marriage happened. They explore the possible reasons for Keagy's assertion, present arguments for and against it, evaluate them, and ultimately conclude that a Hans Kaegi marriage to Rebecca, daughter of James Patterson, is more than unlikely; it is virtually impossible."
