(Charles McIntosh, Ages of Lower Norfolk County People, William & Mary Quarterly, Vol. XXV, #1, July, 1916) He came to the colony, transported by Adam Thorowgood in 1626 on the "Hopewell."
Adam Keeling sold land on November 13, 1693 formerly belonging to John Martin which went to his oldest son, John Martin, who died intestate, so it went to my mother Ann, widow of Capt. Adam Keeling, now wife of John Richason, who gave it to son Adam Keeling, who now sells it to uncle Alexander Keeling. (Anne E. Maling, Princess Anne Co.
