I'm sure of your John L. Keltner.In fact, Clarice Hellums in her book even has a picture of John L. though it is kinda dark.John L. has a hat on and also has a beard.According to Clarice John L. was married twice.The first was Sarah Ball, the second was Martha Ellen Carson.Clarice's book is mainly about Solomon Keltner and his descendents since he was her ancestor also.
Solomon was in Madison Co., IL, in 1818 when IL became a state and a special census was taken.He had daughters Elizabeth born 1817 and Mary born Jan. 1819.Who their mother was is unknown.Solomon returned to TN where he married Sarah Byler Oct. 1819.Solomon returned to IL bringing with him his brother Henry Keltner Jr (III), and two sisters Sarah Vance and my ancestor Rebecca Fanning along with their families.Solomon was listed as a "Snowbird" of Sangamon Co., IL, which means one of the early settlers.Never have been able to track Solomon there but his brother Michael was there a little later.Abraham Lincoln lived with the Michael Keltner family for two years at what is now New Salem State Park north of Springfield, IL.This according to the 1881 History of Sangamon Co.He later returned to TN to the Haywood/Lauderdale Cos. area.
Don't know what you know about the Ball family, but Clarice does have a little on them in her book.
Happy hunting.If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.Judie
