Tithable taxed as FPOC in New Kent census of 1666 in household of Thomas Pouncey, on the census as head of the Pouncey house elder; the wife of this person was native, but his taxation was legally based on his mother's legal status as was the Brit Law of the time.

In 1701, John Lawson listed neighboring Indian groups by number of towns and the number of fighting men. The following Weapemeoc neighbors were recorded: Paspatank Indians, Town 1; Paspatank River, Fighting Men, 10; Poteskeit, Town (Meheriin Iroquois), 1; North River, Fighting Men 30; [ . . . ] Jaupin/Yeopim Indians, 6 people (Vaughan 2001:38). Yawpim was a morphed term of outsider's attempts to say Weapomoke. See project. list on the right side of this profile.

Historian Connee Kroeger shared information on Sarah Keller's father. HENRY KELLER (1795 - 1889). "Henry and Sophia married in Marion County, Mississippi, in 1818, and moved to St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, in 1828. They were enumerated on the 1850 Louisiana census. This source indicated Henry was 45 years of age, born in South Carolina, a farmer with $500 worth of land; it indicated Sophia was 40 years of age, born in Mississippi, and able to read and write. Children listed with them are Henry (18), Philip (12), Martha A. (10), and Henry Elliot (8), who is not believed to be their child. Henry probably went to live with his daughter, Martha, shortly before his death."

Henry's father was PHILIP KELLER (About 1764 - 1834). "Philip arrived in South Carolina in 1766 at the age of two years. He, with his mother Anna Margaret, aged 28, and an older brother John, aged 8, came to America on the ship BELFAST PACKET. His father, Daniel Keller, had arrived in the South Carolina colony prior to October, 1766, on the ship BRITANNIA, which had embarked several months earlier from Amsterdam. Being Protestant and upon invitation to Protestants from The South Carolina General Assembly in 1761, Daniel had made the decision to come to America. The South Carolina Assembly awarded Daniel 250 acres of land for his family on October 17, 1766, land which was later surveyed in the German Settlement in Orangeburg District.

During the American Revolution, Philip served as a Private in General Marion's Brigade.

In Orangeburg, Daniel Keller and his two sons, John and Philip (and Jacob of the same area who was possibly related) belonged to the Calvinistic Church of St. John on the Fourhole Swamp.

Philip and his second wife, Lydia, migrated with four children to Marion County, Mississippi around 1816. The family then moved to St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana by 1830.

Researchers believe Philip may have had other children by his first marriage who are not listed on that family group page and did not migrate from South Carolina to Mississippi with him."

Philip's father was DANIEL KELLER (1735 - Unknown). "Daniel Keller arrived in the South Carolina colony prior to October, 1766, on the ship BRITANNIA which had embarked from Amsterdam several months earlier. Daniel was Protestant and upon receipt of an invitation to all Protestants from the South Carolina General Assembly in 1761, Daniel made the decision to go to America. The South Carolina Assembly awarded Daniel 250 acres for his family on October 17, 1766, land which was later surveyed in the German Settlement in Orangeburg District.

During the American Revolution, Daniel may have been too old to fight, but records indicate he provided supplies to the Continental and Militia."This family's descendants eventually went to Creek of AL and Cheraw of MS. Their neighbors who also migrated en-masse had lands in the same areas at the same times starting with this Ryan who later married into McIntosh once in Creek area of Ft Mims, but start back to this Ryan 14 Mar 1778 – James Ryan of Currituck County enters 400 acres of swamp land in Currituck County near the Great Swamp Bridge leading to Indian Town. Borders the back of said Ryan’s plantation, John Thomson’s line & Joshua Campbel. Entered before Ashel Simmons, JP at May Court. Said entry was duly done in open court. /s/ Solo. Perkins Source.
