In further "digging," I have discovered Ann T. Keeling in the 1850 Halifax co VA census, living in the household with Leonard Keeling, 61; Martha Keeling, 59; Martha Keeling, 35: Sarah Keeling, 19; and Spencer C. Keeling 7.There are two other small children in the household, John L. Keeling age 4 and Spencer P. Keeling age 2.I believe her father was the John L. Cody, who was a brother of my 4th greatgrandmother, who lived in Halifax co also. It appears that the Spencer P. Keeling who married Ann T. Cody in 1844 is deceased, though not having found them yet in 1860, I can't say that positively.I did find Leonard, age 72, Martha, 69, Sarah 24, and Spencer c, 16 in the 1860 Halifax co VA census.In the 1870 Halifax, I found, Spencer age 26 and Sallie age 36.This may be his sister? rather than an older wife.The Sarah of the 1850 census does not seem to age 10 years between censuses!In searching census indexes, I found another variation of Keeling.Leonard is listed as Kuling in the 1850 Halifax index on ancestry.com.
