Can you supply the date of the earliest known cemetery in Wilkinson Co., MS? Reason: My ancestor, George Keller [yes, there were three of them, two of them father and son, third one unidentified], migrated from Sumter Co., SC in the 1810s, along with a Scott family of Red Wood Creek in Feliciana Parish, now East Feliciana Par., LA (1820 census). George is reported to have been born June 1762, birthplace unknown, but probably near Sumter Co., SC. Two of the Scott brothers (there were seven of them) married Keller brides, but years apart. The surviving members of this combined family group migrated to Copiah Co. en masse when that area opened up for settlement by claimants. The elder George Keller died Feb 1823, his wife Jane surviving him, and apparently migrating to Copiah Co., MS, along with at least one son (Thomas Keller) and a son-in-law (Samuel T. Scott) and miscellaneous grandchildren. The next paragraph will explain the origin of the death date. What little is known of the George Keller family is found mainly in a transcribed "George Keller Bible Record," published by the Mississippi Genealogical Society in CEMETERY AND BIBLE RECORDS, V. II (Jackson: Nov 1955). I stumbled on a copy years ago in Vicksburg, MS Public Library. I expect Keller and his son George W. Keller were buried on the family farm, as many families did in this time period. However, if you or another person of that area knows of an early cemetery, will you let me know.
