I found a reference to William Keel in this history. He was a minister in Rutherford County TN. Children were often named after popular ministers.

I also note that Nancy Jane Moore, wife of James Wesley Blanton (son of William Keel Blanton) was a granddaughter of Meredith Blanton of Rutherford Co. and later Bedford Co. They were married in Bedford Co. It seems unlikely that he would end up in Bedford from TX, unless there was a previous connection.
