Cindy, Thanks for reminding me about Russ's note and a possible second spouse for Stephen. I do believe Russ was referring to his ancestor, Jacob. If Stephen did, in fact, have a second wife named Catherine who was younger than he was, it would help explain why Jacob was born when his father was already 62 years of age. I've never been able to find references to any other children, either by Julianna or by Catherine. This of course is not the same as saying that there were no other children.

I assumed he was referring to his ancestor, Jacob. Maybe there's another Jacob Keim that was born in 1779. --- "James A.
