General Notes: Husband - Peter Keichline

---

He lived at Easton, Pennsylvania, as early as 1749, and was one of the four representatives of the county of Northampton at a meeting of Provincial deputies held at Philadelphia on July 15, 1774, to take measures for public safety. When the Revolutionary war began he raised a company of riflemen in Northampton and Bucks counties for Col. Miles' regiment. He was in command at the battle of Long Island in 1776, and was taken prisoner. Lord Stirling wrote to Gen. Washington that the English Gen. Grant was killed by Keichline's riflemen.

He built the first flouring-mill on Bashkill creek in Northampton County.
