There is some question as to Abraham's dates of birth and death.
The Gerberich Collection, as made available by ancestry.com. puts Abraham's death date as 3/26/1850 with an age at death as probably 8 yrs, 11 months.
However, the 1850 census for Martic Township, Lancaster County, enumerated on 6 Sep 1850, shows Abraham in the household of Christian and Catherine Keeports, age 1/12 yrs - this appears to point to an 1850 birth year. Also, in Vol. 4 of the Cemetery Records of Lancaster County, Dr. SHirley Harmon published the following information:
Rev. Christian Keeports; b 4-18-1818; d 3-25-1875;
w Catharine; b 6-2-1825; d 2-18-1908;
Abraham Keeports, son/o Christian Keeports, d 3-26-1859, age 8y.
According to my research, there is 'room' for Abraham in the family birth order as a birth of either 1842 or of 1850.
