Notes for Thomas Keepers:
"The Development of Jefferson Township A Record of the People, Events, and Industry 1700-1900"
pages 47 and 48 "The Keepers family line began with Thomas who came from England to settle in Milton, New Jersey sometime before 1800, in which year he was conveyed a tract of land by a Samuel Ogden. It was on this plot of land that he later built and operated the Russia Forge, for which he became well known. His land holdings also included a farm which he actively cultivated...Keepers had three brothers, Joseph, John, and William, who also resided in the Milton section of Jefferson. There are no records on Joseph, and those pertaining to John and William deal with their service in the military. They both fought in the American Revolution, William serving as a member of the Morris County Militia in Crane's company. William was wounded in a battle at Bottle Hill, New Jersey, and John was captured by the British and imprisoned. In connection with this an interesting incident is recorded. John made good his escape from the barracks in which he was imprisoned by sprinkling gunpowder around the structure while the British officers slept off a great deal of applejack whiskey. When the gunpowder was lit, it so scared the officers that John and those imprisoned with him were able to escape."
