PIONEER WOMEN OF CONNEAUT, 1796-1896
. . .
Phoebe Gates Keyes came to Conneaut with her husband in 1815. He died in 1822. The venerable wife lived until 1853, when she died at the age of eighty-nine. Henry Keyes, their only child, inherited considerable property and we of fifty years know him as General Keyes. He married Mary Cole of Massachusetts, she dying in 1824. In 1829 he married again, this time choosing Vesta Bates, and by this union seven children came to them. Mrs. Mary Cole, a daughter by the first wife, and widow of Edward Grant, has had a very sad life, losing her husband by a serious accident on the lakes and later a lovely daughter, her only comfort in a lonely home, which was one of the most hospitable known in the town.
