General Notes: Husband - Abraham Kieffer


He was a farmer and teamster near Keefer's postoffice. He was widely known as "Old Uncle Abraham." He was a Revolutionary soldier, and there is a tradition that he served in the same company with his brother-in-law, George Beaver. This service probably was in Capt. Beaver's company of Berks County Associators. He lived near Keefer's Church, on the farm occupied by William Karper in later years.
