the wives of Frederick Keller UE

Question

On 5 Nov 2021 Shirlea Smith wrote on Keller-1005:

The four wives linked to this profile seem to be a little different from the narrative of the bio. Could someone take a look and update to the latest known research?

Answer 1

Sure I will attempt to clean it up!

Answer 2

Just a heads up, I will be removing most of the text that is there as it was copied directly from the United Empire Loyalist website article for the family and pasted in to the profile.

Answer 3

I couldn't help noticing that the bio says he was baptized 3 years before he was born and married 16 years after his baptism (age 13 if you believe the date of birth). This looks like a case where it is necessary to try to pretend we never saw the secondary sources, and try to document his life from scratch, based on verifiable records.

Thanks Ellen, my error on the baptismal date...corrected! And yes he would have been very young for his first marriage. Will make more notes. This family is huge, a very deep rabbit hole! But very fun as I am finding lots of interesting sources.
