Thanks for all the help, Stan and Talmage Murphy. I printed the information out and checked it with a 90+ year old Keeling cousin today and she says it's not one of our Keelings. It's hard to know, though. Especially as my KEELING gggrandfather disappeared somewhere between 1836 and 1840, and we have never found any definite record of him before 1820!
