I think I’ve posted these before, but we have some new people, so maybe they have some clues.
If you have information in regard to any of these, please let me know in the comments or on the Facebook page.
Who were Mary Keeling’s parents? The names usually seen are NOT correct. THAT Mary Keeling married Joel Cornick.
Below are the pedigree charts I RESEARCHED for Mary Keeling’s parents. I had originally posted my research online but deleted it when I found that “Mary” married someone else. THE PEDIGREES BELOW ARE NOT CORRECT FOR THE MARY KEELING WHO MARRIED ROBERT STEELE AND SHOULD NOT BE COPIED! NOTE: THE MOST RECENT ELIZABETH LOVETT WAS THE WIDOW OF WILLIAM LOVETT, BUT HER MAIDEN NAME WAS APPARENTLY ALSO LOVETT.
I am uneasy about the parents of James Hunter. I would like some documentation.
I need to know the parents of Thomas Jones who married Nancy Tye. Thomas was NOT the son of John Jones of Kanawha County, nor was he the son of Thomas and Lavina Jones of Greenbrier County. I think he may have been originally from Spotsylvania County.
I know a lot of people are in the same boat I am in regard to Wood, McGraw, Hicks, and Johnston. Any answers? I need proof, not just names.
I need PROOF of the parents of Mary Dillon and Charity Ann Davis. Charity Ann Davis was from the Lynchburg area.
Who was John McVey’s first wife? What was the maiden name of Jane Paxton McVey’s mother, Jane?
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
I have spent the last couple of weeks looking for parents of Mary Keeling Steele but have not gotten any closer to proving her lineage. The practice of the Keelings, Thoroughgoods. Lovetts, Martins, etc naming of their children (Thomas, Adam, Edward, John, William. Elizabeth, Mary, Margaret) through the generations since the arrival of Thomas Keeling, Sr (1608-1664) from Worcestershire, England to Lynnhaven Parish, Lower Norfolk, VA, where he married Anne Thoroughgood (1610-1683). The majority of this Keeling family established and appeared to have remained in Princess Anne County, at least until after the Revolutionary War, so maybe that fact can be used to filter out our Mary Keeling. I found a Pedigree Resource File (Poynter-Wiles) on FamilySearch showing a Mary Polly Keeling, b 31 Oct 1753 in Prince William, VA married in 1772 Robert Steele in Prince Edward County, died ca 1795 in Wythe, VA. I don't have access to Prince Edward marriage bonds for that time period but will continue to pursue it. On a side note, I have learned over the years to sense that there have been, and always will be, misfits in any family, which begs the question of whether Mary was illegitimate. If genealogy was a cohesive venture our efforts would be so much easier, but in even the most established families people do relocate, as shown in one document I ran upon: Princess Anne Co. D 3 1714-1724 p. 415 Thos. Keeling of Rhode Island Marriner to Wm. Benson 50 a. 2 Jan 1721. p. 419 Thos. Keeling of Rhode Island to John Lovet. 5 Dec 1721 for 5 shillings, all that land etc bought by Thomas Keeling, father of sd. Thomas Keeling from Robt. Bond containing 55 a. and also a part of another tract which Thos. Keeling the father bought of Anthony RIchmond containing 5 acres. Jan 1721 Thos. Keeling of Rhode Island to Adam Keeling of Princess Anne for 5 shillings 5 a. of land beginning at a corner tree of Adam Keeling's and standing on a long creek ye grandfather of said parties to those persons, running south to William Richomond's land. 3 Jan 1721. The search continues....

Mary Helen Keeling 1753-1788 I have went no further on this data as yet, but I think that following the correct generations helps lol,as there are two Thomas Keelings who married two Elizabeth Lovetts. I will focus on Thomas Adam Keeling 1726-1766 and Elizabeth Lovett 1724-1800 for time being.
