When Sarah Harper Keen died her brother,Robert Harper who was prominent in the early development of Berkeley Co., VA. and ran the Harper's Ferry where the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers meet, invited his brother-in-law, Mathias Keen to bring his sons and come to his home in Berkeley Co. He & his wife had no children. He left his land and the ferry business to his nephews when he passed away. It is now part of Jefferson Co., WVA. They remained in Virginia the rest of their lives.
