KEETER/KETOR/KETER/KETTER/TIMMONS/HOLLAND/COOKSEY,ELIZABETH
Dalton Christopher KEETER b. April 17, 1913. Father--William Christopher KEETER W/3 siblings born in Oklahoma City, Ok (Pearl, Jim and Andrew). William's dad was William Worth KEETER who married Mary-Nancy-Elizabeth TIMMONS (father-Samuel Timmons) and lived in Canton, Georgia. **I recently added the first name of John to his name: John-Henry Keeter son of James & Lucy Keeter who migrated from Brunswick Cty, Virginia in 1762-1769 TO Rutherford Cty, NC and we feel at this time are father and son but open for discussion still. Researchers have stated that this line of Keeter's migrated from England into VA. My father, Dalton, made reference to Slavic roots in an old album of his from the 1930's which leads me to other European countries which need to be investigated as in Germany, Holland, Polond, anywhere considered Slavic at that point in time.
