PARENTS:
George Adam Keller b. abt 1725, married to Mary
CHILDREN:
David Wesley Keller 1788–1862
Isaac Keller 1790–1871
Daniel Keller 1791–
Uriah Keller 1798–1879
Joseph Keller 1803–
Walter Goodman Kellar 1805–1894
SIBLINGS: (known at this time)
Adam Keller b abt 1749-53 (“likely” a child of George Adam Keller – receives ownership of the same land that George Adam Keller owned in Newberry County, South Carolina after George Adam Keller leaves for Savannah Georgia – its possible he is a cousin, but with the same name (Adam), that George Adam Keller often used, it seems more likely Adam Keller is George Adam Keller’s child. Adam Keller is not included in George Adam Keller’s will – but this may be because George Adam Keller conveyed much of his land in Newberry County, South Carolina to Adam Keller, and maybe others).
George Paul Keller abt. 1755-60 (confirmed in George Adam Keller’s will in Georgia)
Mary Keller abt. 1760 (confirmed in George Adam Keller’s will in Georgia)
Jacob Keller abt 1762 (not confirmed – at this point, this is an assumption on my part that Jacob is a child of George Adam Keller’s. He is the correct age, and appears to be living next to, or possibly in, land of George Adam Keller’s)
