Here is what I have found on the Keims of Sullivan County, NY so far. I don't know where Philip fits in, but he seems to have showed up there at the same time the group I know is mine did. I'm thinking he could be a brother of John. He's 24 years older, so he could also be an Uncle or maybe even his father. Faye Descendants of Philip Keim Generation No. 1 1.
