I am so happy to meet you and glad you stopped by. The subject of this blog is about Amarilla Spracklin Barclay a granddaughter of John and Mary (Delano) Keller. So I did this post with the idea of showing Amarilla’s mother’s family. Elizabeth Keller Spracklin was the first born of this family of John and Mary’s that I know of and introduce deeds I had found about the partition of John Keller’s land. So I did only a summary and did not dig deep into the descendants of John and Mary. My plan is I will do that on my other blog: Solomon Goss of Fearing Twp. In Ohio. You can access it on the right side of this blog. It will be awhile before I dig into John Keller and Mary Delano Keller’s family and ancestors for the Solomon Goss Blog is a big job. I want to discuss them on that blog because it is centered in Ohio and that is where most of the Keller descendants lived. I am very pleased to know where Emma’s family went and I am not surprised about Crawford Co. Her sister Amarilla Keller Barr moved there as well. I am so glad to know they are buried in Fairview Cemetery in Galion. I appreciate that information. I was tracking the children of John and Mary in hopes one of them would tell us more about John Keller and his origins. You might want to study the other blog as well because I did visit some of the Keller sites and posted about my visits. I do not have Emma and John Franklin’s children, actually all I had was J.F. so that is good to have his full name. Please keep in touch.

Our Great Grandmother was Emma Amarilla Helt – the daughter of William Goff Helt and Lovina Lavinia Keller Helt. She married John Franklin Williams and had 6 children. They lived in Crawford County most all their lives and are buried in Fairview Cemetery in Galion. I’m not sure about the Emma Helt mentioned above that married a Lawrence Smith, but I do know that some of our Emma’s sisters were married to Barr and Cotton. Still trying to understand how this all fits in!

Jay had two sister – Flora “Floy” May Keller Slack and Ora Ella Keller Butler. There are definitely Mt. Gilead connections, but also Crawford Co., OH family. If you know who has been organizing the family reunions over the years, perhaps we can beg info from then!

Best,
Jan

Jay Keller was my great grandfather; I decend from Jay’s eldest son Chester (one of 5 children). Are you in contact with any of the other cousins? I met all of Jay’s children but only have vague memories of them (except for Dorothy). Do you know any of the cousins from sister Ora Keller Butler?
Thanks
Jan Daniel

I do have an Emma Helt but I have her marrying a J.F. Williams so this is very interesting. What a precious album you have there. I am very happy for you.

As far as I know Jay had one sister Floy May? A reunion would be great and if you ever hear of one please let me know. Lavina May Helt married a Franklin White Cotton 1 Oct. 1876 in Cardington, Morrow Co., Ohio as far as I know. One of the cousins would have more information about this family. The fact that you stopped by and found this blog is a start. Spread the news with your family and let them know. We are trying to figure out John Keller’s parentage. Keep in touch. Bonnie

Keller. My hubby and I went to a reunion at Candlewood Lakes near Mt. Gilead
sometime since 2000. I believe the person’s name was Cotton descended from Lavinia. I don’t know much of what you’re looking for. I wish I could help.

So I do not know if he did come from Franklin or Northampton but I am aware there were Kellers there. Franklin is in the south of PA, Northampton is to the west of Luzerne sort of in the middle. I have Goss family in the area so I do have some small knowledge of Northampton. Watch out for the history of the county and keep in mind many of them born out of others just like Ohio. Thanks so much for your interest and help. Keep in touch. Bonnie

I was wondering if John might be connected to them. It is worth looking into that area also as I don’t know where those counties are to Washington County. I will try and connect with some Kellers that I know but it will take some time. I will let you know what I find out from them. There is no other family member in this area that is connected to us that I can check with. Hopefully the ones I am thinking of will be on another branch to connect us up. LINDA
