My grandfather, Caspar Keller's son, "entered" large tracts of land in Alabama and finally settled there. I have been told that once a year he went from Tuscumbia to Philadelphia on horseback to purchase supplies for the plantation, and my aunt has in her possession many of the letters to his family, which give charming and vivid accounts of these trips.
 
My Grandmother Keller was a daughter of one of Lafayette's aides, Alexander Moore, and granddaughter of Alexander Spotswood, an early Colonial Governor of Virginia. She was also second cousin to Robert E. Lee.
 
我爺爺，卡斯帕•凱勒的兒子，踏入阿拉巴馬州成片的土地並最終在那裏安家。我聽說他每年一趟騎馬從塔斯坎比亞到費城購買農場供給，我姑姑手上保存著許多他那時候寫給家裏的信，裏麵形象生動地記載著這些旅行的細節。
 
我奶奶的父親亞曆山大•摩爾是拉法葉 [法國人，美國獨立戰爭時喬治•華盛頓麾下的將軍] 的一個助手，外公亞曆山大•斯帕斯沃德是早期佛吉利亞殖民州長，她還是羅伯特•伊•李 [美國南北戰爭時期南方最著名將領] 的堂表姐妹。
