Person:Jacob Keckley (2)

"Then there was still another (Father's Uncle) that was the father of a Benjamin and whose name I do not know, who died leaving a widow and several children on Cedar Creek in Frederick County, Va., a few miles from where my father was raised. (This is Jacob Keckley, Jr., who married 1st., __ Snapp, 2nd, Margaret Secrest. He died ca. 1795, and was the father of Benjamin Keckley, who married Mary Orndorff.)" [Source: p. 379-b, Jacob's House.][ I believe this is in a letter written by William H. Cackley of Ronceverte, W. Va., a son of Valentine Cackley and grandson of Jacob Keckley Sr.; p. 379-a, which I did not see, probably identifies him.]
