Keeling, Peter Allender, Rachael Feb 26, 1835 Todd Co.

Could "Rachael" be a misreading of "Ruth J"? Everything points to this being the same couple that shows up in the 1850 Census. I can find no later record of a second marriage for Peter.

2. 1840

3. 1850 Census Index/Microfilm (online at GenealogyLibrary.com): District No. 1, Todd Co., KY, p. 196A, 1/1, enumerated 24 Jul 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen — record hard to read):

Peter Keeling 40 M Farmer 200 Virginia

Ruth J 38 F Ky

Mary J 15 F "

Thos C 12 M "

William M 10 M "

Nancy 5 F "

James D? 9/12 M "

I tried to turn "Ruth J" into "Rachel," but couldn't, though it's easy to see how with a difficult record such a misreading could occur. I'm wondering if the marriage record isn't a misreading of "Rachel" for "Ruth J"? Living next door to Solomon & Nancy WOLF, who are living next door to Isaac & Dilly WOLF, who are living next door to Catherine (GRUMBLEY) KEELING, Peter's widowed sister-in-law.
