WILLIAM RYERSON KELLER was born in 1784 in Upper Canada. He was the son of Frederick Keller UE (1760-1842) and Hannah (Unknown) Keller (abt.1768-). [1]
William married Elizabeth Fykes, daughter of Peter Fykes UE before 1802. Elisabeth was born in 1783 in Upper Canada. She died on 24 Apr 1872 in Kennebec, Frontenac County, Ontario, Canada.[2]
Children;
- Joseph Keller b. 9 Jan 1820 d. 9 Sept 1907
- Simon Peter Keller b. Abt. 1821 d. 24 Mar 1901
- Hannah Keller b. Abt. 1825 d. 21 Oct 1902
- David Keller b. Abt. 1827 d. July 1874
On the 24th day of January, 1809 William made an application for 200 acres of land as the son of Frederick Keller UE. [3]
It appears William then made another application, as a United Empire Loyalist who served as a Private in the 104th Regiment. He stated he was the son of a loyalist as well as husband and father of nine children. The application is dated January 28th, 1831 and resulted in a grant of 100 acres.[4]
William and Elizabeth are in the household of their son Simon in 1861.[5]
William died after 1861 in Lennox and Addington, Ontario, Canada West.[6]
