    1. [CROFOOT] Crofut help please?
    2. I am a little stumped and maybe someone can help me figure some of this out or point me in a direction to look. I am researching the Keeler family of CT. I have found a reference to a Munson Keeler who married a Mabel Crofut daughter of Samuel Crofut and a Lucy Jane (Delivan?) Mabel was born about 1807 and married Munson (or Monson) Keeler on March 20, 1825 place unknown but we believe it was near Danbury CT area. Mabel died June of 1832 I have a listing of three children for them Nathan B Keeler b 1826 Samuel Crofut Keeler b. 1828 Mabel Keeler b. 1831 On researching Nathan B Keeler, we find under his civil war pension application the following information: Widow: Huldah A Keeler ????? applied Nov 1864 Minor: Huldah A Crofut (Gdn) applied Nov 1864 could this be Guardian? Nathan Keeler was married to Ellen or Eleanor Hickerson who died before he went to war. She left Nathan with minor children Francis and Estelle? We have these names from Eleanor's will. Who is Huldah A Crofut? How is she related to this Keeler family and did she have custody of Nathan's children? Was she married to Nathan? Engaged to Nathan? or just legal guardian to the children and applied for pension as his wife? Lots of questions here. Can anyone help shed some light on this? Thanks Carley
