Person:Johannes Keller (1)

From Janet Ariciu, monkey@@getgoin.net on the internet: "Johannes Keller was born in 1650 in Sevlingen, Schaffenhausen, Switzerland, and died by 14 Jan 1698 in Weiler, Germany. His wife was Ann Senn who was also born in Sevlingen.

"Hans (John) Jacob Keller came from Rothenfluh, a village south of Basel, Switzerland, in 1736 to Pennsylvania with his wife, Elisbeth Imhoff, and three sons -Sebastian, John George and John Jacob. Sebastian 'Bastin' Keller was instrumental in persuading Hildebrand to move to Virginia. After the Sabbatarians were forced to depart in summer of 1764, Dr. John George Keller moved to Powell's Fort where he moved his medical practice. They soon joined the Ephrata community. In 1762, the son, Dr. John George Keller, moved to Sandy Hook. In 1764, the elder John Jacob Keller also lived at Sandy Hook as an Ephrata householder. He later died at the cloister at Ephrata in 1794. A George Keller, probably Bastain's brother, was a witness to Hildebrand's will. For a very detailed record of the Kellers, see From the Rhine to the Shenandoah, Volume I, pages 104-108 by Daniel Bly <mailto:dwbly@@aol.com>." Not sure who the Hans guy is, but it was posted on Johannes' page.
