Mary Lou forwarded these newspaper obituaries to share w/the list: "Funeral services were held on Sunday, February 2, for Mr. Samuel Irvin Keim, 67, who died the morning of January 30, at St. Joseph's Hospital due to a heart attack. His body was buried in his home state of Nebraska. Mr. Keim came to Spencerian College in June of 1961 as an instructor. He taught mainly accounting and mathematics. In recent years he had become active in the library as an assistant to Mrs. Grace Weltmer. He was born in Nebraska in 1902 and was a graduate of the Nebraska State Teacher's College. He also did some graduate study at the University of Denver. In addition to a B.S. in business education, he had also earned diplomas from both the Finance Forum of America and the Dale Carnegie course. Mr. Keim, of 2531 North 44 Street held offices in the Masonic Lodge and the North-Central Business Education Association." Another smaller obituary stated the following: "S. Irvin Keim, 66, of Milwaukee, Wis., passed away at a hospital there following a heart attack. He was born July 3, 1902 at Dannebrog, Nebraska, and followed the teaching profession all his life. Surviving are his wife, Merle, and one son, Dr. Willard Keim of Philadelphia, his wife, Chiem, and grandson Edmund... Funeral services were held on Sunday, February 2 at 8 p.m. at the Ritter Funeral Home in Milwaukee. Graveside services were held at Bertrand Friday, February 7." Her note: S. Irvin Keim was the son of Samuel Cripe Keim, twin brother of John Cripe Keim. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Think we're talking about the same thing, but what does "bind-out" or "bound out" mean?

An educated guess would be it's this reference: American ancestry : giving the name and descent in the male line of American ancestors settled in the United States previous to the Declaration of Independence The Name of the works and publishing date fit. I found this listing doing a "Title Search" of the Family History Library Catalog at http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp There appear to be 12 volumes in this series, with Frank Munsell authoring the ones covering lineages from the whole of the United States.

Cindy, It's been several years since I looked at this, so I don't remember where, or in whose manuscript, I first saw that date. It's NOT a date that I came up with, NOR is it a date that I have ever "published". Speculating, I >think< it might have originated from the fact that a published index of wills for Somerset County PA listed a Peter Keim as file #33-1829, 1829 (not 1828, sorry) being the year either of death or probate. This name and file number I received from a lookup volunteer, I do not own the will index myself. But then, in August of 2003, when I contacted the Historical and Genealogical Society of Somerset County, they said that their microfilm states that "this number was not used", and "Not sure where this estate record is". I've since wondered if this file number wasn't just a typographical error in the will index. As an aside, all other estate numbers I requested from the society in Somerset Co PA were found without trouble, and I DO have copies of estate packets for my gggg-gf, Samuel Keim (1775-1845), son of John Peter and brother of Nicholas [b.1768], as well as packets for several of Samuel's descendants. In summary, I have always thought, and still think, that 1829 is NOT VALID as a death year for John Peter Keim. The 1787 date I SUPPOSE is possible, but I simply do not know. If someone knows what the "American Ancestry (1893)" refers to, I love to learn about it. Was John Peter Keim, father of Nicholas [b.1768], born in 1745? Again, to my knowledge, it's possible. I WISH there were proof that convinced me one way or the other. Did John Peter Keim bind out his children after the death of his wife? By all accounts I've seen, this one probably is true, and it is offered as an explanation for why Nicholas Keim (and probably his brothers) first became involved with the Mennonites. I wish I had better answers; hopefully someone else out there does? Jim

Another statement I've seen is: "Peter Keim of Reading bound out all his children after his wife died" TRUE???? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Perhaps this statement better identifies WHICH John Peter Keim we're going to be discussing: John Peter Keim, father of Nicholas Keim, was born 1745.

It's been a long time since I've been active in researching. My earliest Kime (as it was spelled in upstate NY) was John Christian Kime who was born in Berks Co., PA. I have his parents as Conrad and Anna Maria Keim. The dates for the first and 2nd wife confuse me. I got the information from Descendents of Conrad Manges written by Harriet Stahl. Found the book in the Waterloo, NY library (would love to purchase if anyone knows of a source!) Benjamin Lerch was my gggrandfather.

> [Original Message] > > The ancestry John Peter Keim has been somewhat a mystery to me and > possibly many others. Cindy, I personally remain unsure of John/Johann Peter Keim's ancestry. I have seen the several theories, and I'm not entirely sure which to believe. My brief write up on John Peter currently includes: === John Peter Keim may be the John Peter K(l)eim who immigrated on the ship Nancy, and registered in Philadelphia on Aug 31, 1750, or he may be descended from John (Johann) Keim, who first came to America in 1698. === What I learned from my grandfather was the story of the ship Nancy, which he got from the Keim family reunion speech by Josiah J Keim in Somerset Co PA in 1928. Since then, I have had the privilege of exchanging information with several Keim researchers, including Don Thackrey. Don in particular makes a good case for John Peter being descended from the 1698 John Keim, and that may in fact be the more likely true history. But the "definitive proof" that I keep hoping for, and that has been sought by Keim researchers since KAF in the 1890s, may not exist. I also don't know where John Peter ended up. I vaguely remember one story that he went to North Carolina and died there, but that seems unlikely, and I've never seen any confirmation. I've also seen the more likely story that he ended up in Somerset Co PA (near son Nicholas?), and possibly died there c1828, but again, no confirmation, that I know of. For the purposes of describing my line for this forum, what I do know about John Peter is that he lived in Berks Co PA, where he had eight known children between the years 1768 and 1781. Sons Nicholas, George, and Samuel (my gggg-gf) removed to Somerset Co PA about 1790, and George later continued on to Holmes Co OH. Son Jacob went to Carrol Co MD, and youngest son Peter made stops in several counties in southwest PA, before ending up in Elkhart Co IN. Daughter Mary Keim Yoder died in Centre Co PA. I don't have any other info on son John, or daughter Elizabeth Keim Fetters. I hope this helps. Jim

My line begins as Lori Ann Wolfe's does, with Johannes Keim b. GR and migrated to PA. (see her msg. 3/24 and extensive notes in the archives).

Cindy, for what it's worth, here's my 2 cents. I'm not sure we can even start with that simple statement. I have multiple males with variations of the name John Peter or Johann Peter in my records, with birthdates ranging from 1740 thru 1750. At this point, I'd have to say that there is a very high probability that there was a John Peter Keim born in 1745, but with a qualifier that there may be more than one.

Mary Lou Cook, at her web site - http://collectornuts.com/keim.htm - lists the following about Peter (Johan) Keim 1. PETER (JOHAN)6 KEIM I (JOHANNES PETER5, JOHANNES "HANS"4, JOHANN3, GEORGE2, LUDWIG DE HARCOURT1)1 was born Abt. 1743 in Oley, Berks Co, PA, and died Abt. 1829 in Somerset Co, PA. He married MARY Abt. 1766 in Berks Co, PA. She was born Abt. 1745. Notes for PETER (JOHAN) KEIM I: There is some debate about this man and records are sketchy about his origins. It is uncertain whether he is descended from Ludwig Keim. He may be the Peter Keim who lived in Heidelberg Twp in 1787, Dauphine Co, PA, just across the border from Berks Co. Don Thackrey speculates that Peter lived close to the border of Berks Co, perhaps in mountain country out of reach of tax assessors. According to Mahlon W. Keim, Peter's great-grandson, Peter "bound-out" all his children after his first wife died when the children were still young. The oldest son, Nicholas, was trained by an Amish Mennonite, which explains the Keim connection to the Amish. By 1811, Peter was married to Mary ___ and living in Somerset Co, PA, where his son Nicholas was living. This may be the Revolutionary War Private in Capt. Joseph Davis Company, Berks Co, PA., part of the 1st Battalion under Lt. Col. John Gardner. Peter was mustered out in 1782 and returned to Berks Co. (Located by Eber Cockley: Pennsylvania Archives, series 3, vol. 6, p. 295; series 5, vol 5, p. 492). At least one descendant, the late Mrs. Arline Petry Cook of Cumberland, MD, was granted membership in the D.A.R. (File No. 525372). When he died, Peter gave his land to Nicholas. Many sources give his death date as April 1787 at about age 44. Peter had 8 children, and most of them moved to other states including Holmes Co, OH and Indiana.
