Family of Abraham Keech, Smithfield, Rhode Island, ca 1790
I am looking for information about the family of Abraham and Sarah Keech/Keach, parents of Rhoda Keech, born ca June 15, 1791. Rhoda married David Curtis, son of William and Hannah Linfield Curtis of Norfolk County, Mass. Rhoda's death record in Stoughton showed she died Nov 26, 1865, at age 74y, 5m and 11 days,and named her parents as Abraham and Sarah, and her birthplace as Smithfield, Rhode Island. Can anyone connect these people to the Keech family of Rhode Island.

Regarding the Keach/Keech family of Rhode Island, check the archived exchanges on the KEECH-L RootsWeb list from three or four years ago. This is what the records show for Abraham and Sarah:
Abraham Keach b: Abt. 1748 in Rhode Island d: April 07, 1821 in Otsego Co., NY Burial: Union Cemetery, Plainfield, CT .+Sarah b: Abt. 1750 d: April 17, 1810 in Plainfield, CT Burial: Union Cemetery, Plainfield, CT
Abraham was the son of Amos Keach who d. 28 Jan 1797 in Smithfield, RI. He m. Mary Sprague 17 Jan 1739/40 in Providence, RI.
My own ancestor Jesse Keach may have been a brother of Abraham, but we lack firm evidence. Please contact me directly (Megerstch at aol.com) Barbara Meger

We were wondering if you can/could find any connection to your Keech Line with the Keech Line in Maryland, (in the mid to late 1700's).

Sorry, I haven't made a Rhode Island/Maryland connection with the Keech/Keach line.
