Notes - I have listed John Gridley Keeler as a son of Martin and Nancy Keeler, but the evidence is circumstantial. He was the right age to have been Martin and Nancy's child, and he lived very near to Clark Phelps, Edmund D. Phelps, and Era D. Ladd, who had married his presumed sisters Laura Jane, Sarah Ann and Susan M. Keeler. All of Martin and Nancy's children lived near Martin's property in Hastings. John G.'s in-laws lived a few miles away across the Oneida River in Clay, Onondaga County. On 1 Jun 1850 John G. bought 1 acre of land from Elijah D. Phelps, the father-in-law of two of John's presumed sisters, but in the next year Elijah Phelps, his sons, Era Ladd and their families all left Hastings. Coincident with the departure of his presumed sisters, John G. sold his property and moved with his family to Clay near his in-laws. Finally, he appears to have been named after John Gridley, the prosperous tanner and leather goods dealer in the Town of Onondaga who bought Martin Keeler's property in 1821.
