I just got some information that may help some of you and also me too. I was in southern IN last year for about 8 days at 13 different libriaries and 3 courthouse. I made paper copies of all that I had found so that I could review what I had found. Well, this past Weds. I was cleaning out some files and had came across this: The Archives Division, IN State Library, also has the muster rolls of the men who joined the Mounted Rangers provided by Congress on June 16, 1832. The list includes men from KY, IL, and MO as well as IN. I met a friend/cousin on the net that lives in Indy and asked him if he would do some checking for me. Well he not only called them he went down there to copy what they had. My Riley Keller records were there[ which I already have] but what I was wanting was to know if there were any other KELLER listed with him. Bingo, he had several and also that my Riley was listed that he was born in TN, where the National Archives stated that he was born in NC, so who to believe? Anyway, the names listed are: Aaron - SC Militia David - MI " Fredrick - LA " George W. - GA " Jacob - TN " James - IL " John - GA " Joseph - IL " Louis - FL " Philip - TN " Robert - SC " This list from "Index to Volunteer Soldiers in Indiana Wars and Distrubances 1815-1858" by Virgil D. White. I did send to the National Archives for the 2 that are listed for TN to see just who they might have been and if there could be a chance be either Riley's brothers or father.
