I'm just stepping in. Keever is not my family. The Tract Book for Delaware Co IN
shows several land entries for Adam Keever. The first is dated 9/1/1832. One dated
7/4/1835 gives the place of this Adam Keever as Preble Co OH. Anther dated 9/21/1835
gives the place of residence as Randolph Co IN. Maybe the same Adam Keever. Land patents
may "throw some light" on this. Go to the Government Land Office Records to see
the land description ans if and when the obligation for the tracts of land was paid for
and patented. The URL is ~
http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/. In Grant Co IN, a Daniel C.
Keever is buried just south of 800E 500S, d. 18 March 1895, age 78y 8m 15d. I do no know
the name of the cemetery. He married after 12 Sept 1876 when his 2nd? wife, Eliza died to
Elizabeth (Lewis) Phillips/Atkinson. She died 25 April 1888 and is buried next to her 2nd
husband, David Atkinson, "Elizabeth wife of Daniel Keever". Her will mentions
her children Cephus Atkinson and Na!
ncy Wilson/Williams? and grandchildren, Harvey, Minnie and Vada Phillips. As I recall,
there was an Adam Keever in the1840 census of Delaware Co. but doesn't show up in
"Accelerated Index" Maybe some of this will help. Lou in Indiana.
