Keim in Bakersville, PA. Jacob was from Somerset Co, too. Also, there was a Keim family with connections to Garrett Co, MD: JACOB KEIM, born 1769 in Berks Co, PA, and died 16 March 1849 in Carroll Co, MD. He married BARBARA WAGNER 1795 in Berks Co, PA. Residence: Garrett Co, MD Children of JACOB KEIM and BARBARA WAGNER were: i. HANNAH KEIM, d. Ashland Co, OH. ii. ELIZABETH KEIM, b. Berks Co, PA; m. JACOB DIEHL. iii. SARAH KEIM, b. 15 March 1800, Carroll Co, MD; m. LEWIS SHUEY. What I find particularly interesting is that Eileen's original message listed DIEHLs, too! But note, Eileen, I'm not related to these folks, just have been compiling info posted to the KEIM list. Cindy Kimes
