Daughter of Joseph Keeler, Jr. and Jane (Wilson) Keeler. She married Gershom Beach in Pittsfield, MA on May 28, 1771. They are shown wih eight children in family trees, but no confirming birth records have been found. The children are Ebenezer, Cynthia, Samuel, Phebe, Rebecca, Esther, Lucina and an inknown child born the day Jane died.
Note that Jane has previously been shown here and elsewhere as "Mary Jane". Middle names were not used in this period. The name combination likely resulted from confusion between her husband, Gershom, and his uncle, Gershom Beach, Jr., whose wife was Mary.
Futher note that her tombstone says she was a relict (widow) of her husband. That is a mystery, since he survived her.
Lastly, there is a recreated death record that shows her as "Anne". That is likely a transcription error. See Sources in her FamilySearch page, KGYH-2KD.
