8 October 2026 - Keyser and Wallace family research, second round

Page 132 supplies the full compiled child group with Elhanan Winchester Keyser: Katherine Frances (1820), George Fox (1822), Emily (1824), Frank (1826), Sally Ann (1828), Harry (1830) and Benjamin Urner (1832). Emily is reported to have died February 20, 1826. These entries provide targets for original records. The 1850 household corroborates residence of Elhanan with George, Franklin and Sallie, but Maria is not present and that census does not independently establish maternity.

Earlier archive notes (preserved): 8 October 2026 — Direct-line research update

The 1889 Keyser genealogy, p. 132, identifies Maria as daughter of Michael Fox, wife of Elhanan Winchester Keyser (marriage 21 December 1819), and mother of Katherine Frances Keyser. It gives Maria’s death as 1 April 1834. No birth date or mother is established by this source. This is a compiled family account; original marriage, death and parentage records remain to be checked.
