About Rep. Philip Key (Ind-MD)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Key_%28Representative%29
Philip Key (1750 – January 4, 1820) was an American congressional representative from Maryland.
Born probably on his father’s estate near Leonardtown, St. Mary's County, Maryland, he pursued an academic course in England. Key eventually returned to Maryland and engaged in farming, he then began to study law and was later admitted to the bar and practiced.
Key served in the Maryland House of Delegates in 1773, he then became member of the committee of correspondence for St. Mary's County, in 1774. He again served as a member of the House of Delegates during 1779–1790. Key was then elected to the Second Congress, and represented the 1st Congressional district of Maryland from March 4, 1791 – March 3, 1793. Key then returned to the House of Delegates in 1795 and 1796 where he served as speaker.
Key died in Chaptico, Maryland, and is likely interred in the churchyard there.
Key is also the cousin of Philip Barton Key and great-grandfather of Barnes Compton.

Message Board Post:
There were two Phillip Key's, the first lived 1757 to 1815; the second lived 1818 to 1859. The first was an Uncle to Francis Scott Key and the second likely a son of Francis Scott Key. In any event the second one was shot and killed in Lexington Park in DC by the husband of Phillips lover
