TheEnglish heard that cartridges were being made in the Tavern anddischarged several cannon balls into the house, one of which is stillplainly visible, dislodging the enemy who took refuge in the woods.Mr. Keeler's neighbor, a royalist, who, finding the sparks a menace tohis own house, received Gen. Tryon's permission to quench the flames.When Mr. Keeler returned from his hiding place the Tory met himsaying, "You may thank me that your house is safe". "No sir!" roaredthe sturdy patriot, "I will not thank a Tory for anything. I thankthe Lord for the north wind". By 1744 the Keeler tavern had beenrazed. D. W.

He was also moderator at a meeting Aug 23 1780,taxed on the list of 1779 to pay soldiers, and on a committee to writememorial to legislature for raising soldiers. The name of his Toryneighbor was Hoyt so he may have been a brother-in-law or otherrelative of his wife, Mary Hoyt. He was also known as Squire Keeler.Source: History of the Firelands, W.W.
