General Notes: Husband - Isaac Keck

---

He was one of the pioneer settlers of Salem township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, when it was a part of Bedford County. He took up a large and valuable tract of land which was afterward divided into several farms, one of which was later known as the old Keck homestead farm.
According to all accounts preserved of him by his descendants he was a very active and brave man. He fought nobly in the cause of American Independence, and in one of the sieges of the Revolutionary war leaped upon a cannon while it was still smoking from being discharged and spiked it in the very face of the cannoneers. After the close of the war he returned to his farm, upon which he died about 1869.
