Ralph Warner

Note: After researching Sylvanus Keeler, I have come to the conclusion that we must look for his birth in CT or NY.� I think that New Jersey is less likely.� Wherever his birth place was, I am sure he lived in NY and Canada as he met and married Rhoda, probably in New York.� He is reported to be the first "native" Canadian Methodist minister, but I think that the "native" part of that statement may be mistaken.�� ~Quila
