Hi Vicky,
I do not know just who Riley parents were. But there must of been a reason
for them to move from Charlestown IN after living there for 5 years to
Jackson Co., IN 1840's. As the family's seemed to follow or travel together
during that time. Riley served on the jury in Jackson Co. as I read that in
one of their books that they had at the library. I really believe that there
was a Keller family there that was a relative but just who I have not been
able to find out. The reason that they moved to Cumberland County, IL in
1851 was because he was granted land for serving in the Black Hawk War,
1832-1833. The following is what I do have on them. Hope that someone out
there will be able to connect with my family. Thank you, Kate Keller
Bourland / Illinois

So, do you not believe that the Jacob and Polly Keller living in
Jackson
Co., In in 1850 is Riley's parents?
Since these Kellers were still in North Carolina on the 1830 census,
arriving in Indina by 1832.
