'''THOUGHTS: James was born in 1789 but did not marry Hannah Phelps until 1942; she was 20 years his junior. He likely was married previously but I did not document that one way or the other as it was not pertinent to my research on Keyser 2nd GGrandparents James and Hannah. It is interesting to note that she was alive during the night of November 12 1833 when the skies exploded with lights from meteors. The background image is of folks watching in Fl, as they did in VA, IL, etc.''' Per Donna Cator for the Keyser family ancestry.
