M#29 Nancy Jane Keller's parents were M#58 Samuel and M#59 Nancy Keller. At this writing, this author has no further knowledge of Nancy's surname or family.

M#58 Samuel Keller was born about 1802 in Virginia, probably in that part of Barbour County that was Randolph and Monongalia Counties in 1784. Samuel was a farmer who, in 1850, farmed an $1,800 piece of land. No small value in 1850.
