In 1905 a Chandler Ok (Lincoln Co.) newspaper reports a reunion of some of these families. Among the Keys present were: J. (Jeremiah) Key, S. A. Key, J. T. Key, A. E. Key (likely Jeremiah's sons: Samuel Andress, John T., and Alemeda E.) On the 1870 Crawford Co., Mo. census is the family of Lewis Key which includes an 11 yr. old son, William. Not sure if there is a connection here - don't know when your William was b. I would definitely research the Crawford Co., Mo. census for the origin of your Lincoln Co. Keys. Hope this helps. Bea Page
