Re: Keller's of NC

Here is what I have gathered on John and Rose Walker Keller. I would like to connect Rose to one of the approx. 30 Walker lines in the Rowan Co. area and will be glad to share any info on Rose.

Descendants of John Keller


Generation No. 1

1.JOHN1 KELLER (Source: Genforum Post #, 19238-NC Genealogy, I am seeking information concerning an ancestor who lived in North Carolina. I am descended directly from John Keller, born about 1775 in Rowan County, NC and married to Rose Walker also from Rowan County. John is the son of one Jacob Keller born about 1750 and who died about 1804 in Rowan County. Jacob was married to a Barbara ? who died in 1840 and is buried in Davie County, NC.) was born Abt. 1775, and died 1840.He married ROSE WALKER (Source: (1) ROWANROOTS-L@rootsweb.com, We have a John Keller who married a Rose Walker in 1798 in Rowan Co. (later Davie Co area).Her step-daughter's family Bible also recorded her name as Easter. I know nothing about which Walker she came from or where they lived. Sharyn Fuller__Sbisbey55@aol.com., (2) ROWANROOTS-L@rootsweb.com, My husband's mother was a Keller, directly descended from Jacob Keller through his son John Keller who md. Rose Walker.Rose was his first wife; he married Mary Bare secondly.The family Bible pages for Mary's daughter are in the Davie County Library in Mocksville biography file.Neither the Davie County Historical Society nor our research so far has found the Keller family graveyard.There should have been a minimum of 25 people buried there; it is referenced once in the biography file.Also, it is mentioned in a deed where John's sons sold the land, except for a quarter-acre family graveyard.It was fenced in 1851.However, it has apparently been lost.The research so far stops abruptly with John's father Jacob and his wife Barbara.There are about 35 Jacob Kellers who are listed as a German immigrant in the appropriate years, but no way to tell where they went or if they had family when they came over.I couldn't even get a better birth date for Jacob than between 1737-1755, based on the different possible age ranges for the tax lists and census.Another descendant also says that he was told the family was from Germany originally.The area they settled in was a heavily German area.Many of the earliest families that married in were German (Earnest, Cope, etc).I'll look at your attachment and write again later.Sharyn Fuller.).She was born Abt. 1775.
