>From John A. Graham's History of Peru and Miami County: This book discusses the farmers that settled in Perry Township in Miami Co. and states "among those who came in 1839 and 1840 were the Keims, Daniel, Benjamin and David." We heard about Benjamin Keim as an early Wabash Co, IN settler in the selection posted to this list on 11 Mar 2001. In the section on Butler Twp in Miami Co, we read "soon after 1841, the township began to be rapidly settled." Samuel Keim is listed as one of earlier settlers. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ These Keims - Samuel, Daniel, Benjamin, and David, were undoubtedly Benjamin (b. 20 December 1804) who married Mary Dieffenbacher; Daniel (b. 14 April 1797) who married Susanna Ulsh, and David (b. 15 September 1802) who married Hannah E. Ulsh. Samuel must be the Samuel that married Mary Derck as both are buried in the Chili Cemetery, Miami Co, IN. Anyone connect?
