I believe James Louis to be my GGGrandfather through James Andrew. This information is from my father and was never verified, proven, or sourced by him. I am trying to verify information and would love to correspond with anyone who has connections or information on any of the above persons.

Thank you,
Larry E Keeling

I don't have any information on the Keeling family except a possible connection. James Chancy married Eleanor Francis Keeling about 1838. She was born about 1820 in TN or VA. I have her in Hardin Co, IL Census' 1840-1880. Do you have any information on her?

Sorry, I have no information on either Eleanor Francis KEELING or James CHANCY. They do not appear in my database.
Thanks

Your James Louis Keeling is also my GGGrandfather through
Isaac Nathaniel. My information is fairly limited, but am willing to share what I have. It is still basically all on paper as I have just started putting info online. If you have any specific questions, I will help all I can.

Sorry it took so long to reply. I'm excited to find a "cousin"! I have a lot of information but most of it is un-documented. My father did the research years ago.

I would be glad to send my ged-com.

I'm most interested in tracking back from James Louis and Isaac Nathaniels' father. The info I have on him is:

James Keeling
b. 1783 S. Carolina d. 1850-1860
m. Elizabeth Unknown
b. 1806 Kentucky d. 1860-1870

Father - Benjamin Keeling
m. Elizabeth Whitman

I can't vouch for the accuracy of this info. I hope to come to Hardin County someday to do my own research. I also would love to have info on Nathaniel. All I have now is names of his wife and chldren.

Please contact me anytime.
