GEORGE KELLER SR. (BASTIAN KELLER, JOHANNES, JACOBUS) was born May 17, 1711 in Weiler, Germany or Schwarzenackerm Swelbrucken, Bavaria, and died Bef. October 1782 in Shenandoah County, Virginia. He married BARBARA ANNA HOTTEL June 1733 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, daughter of JOHANNES HOTTEL and ELIZABETHA LNU. She was born December 02, 1713 in Alsheim Bei Gronau, Germany, and died 1783 in Woodstock, Shenandoah County, Virginia.
The Palatinate or German Pfalz was subject to invasion by the armies of Britain, France, and Germany. As well as the devastating effects of war, the Palatines were subjected to the winter of 1708 and 1709, the harshest in 100 years. The scene was set for a mass migration.
At the invitation of Queen Anne in the spring of 1709, about 7 000 harassed Palatines sailed down the Rhine to Rotterdam. From there, about 3000 were dispatched to America, either directly or via England, under the auspices of William Penn. The remaining 4 000 were sent via England to Ireland to strengthen the protestant interest.
In 1710, three large groups of Palatines sailed from London. The first went to Ireland, the second to Carolina and the third to New York with the new Governor, Robert Hunter. There were 3 000 Palatines on 10 ships that sailed for New York and approximately 470 died on the voyage or shortly after their arrival.
Over the next 100 years, impoverished Palatines fled from Germany to America - many arriving in Pennsylvania. George Keller came to America with forty two other Palatines and their families on board the Ship Pleasant, James Morris, Master, coming from Rotterdam Arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 10/11/1732.
Before 1749 George Keller and his family moved to Virginia. He was a prominent churchman, and one of the Justices of the Peace of the first court of Dunmore---later renamed Shenandoah---County, Virginia. The court system in the colony of Virginia was a combination of traditional English doctrines with additional rules for unique situations. Most non-capital criminal cases began and ended in the county courts, as did most civil lawsuits. Holding court in the counties were the Justices of the Peace, also referred to as the Magistrates or the Gentlemen Justices. Besides their judicial duties, the Justices directed the laying out of roads, the location of bridges, appointed road surveyors and imposed fines on those who neglected to maintain their assigned sections of highways. They licensed water mills, ordinaries, ferries and courthouses. The Justices even advised the colonial legislature on the placement of warehouses, ferries churches and courthouses in their counties. There were eight Justices per county with a quorum of four to conduct judicial business. How often the county courts met was contingent upon many variables: the weather, conditions of the roads, the crop cycles, the number of cases filed and the availability of the Gentlemen Justices. All county Justices served at the appointment of the Royal Governor. A vacancy on the county court usually arose with the death of a Justice. The remaining Justices submitted a worthy gentleman's name to the Governor for his consideration. The worthy gentleman was a "Justice in waiting". He was a gentleman of impeccable reputation and honor. He was a respected individual within his community. He had served a "Justice" apprenticeship in governmental functions. This apprenticeship involved serving as a juror, overseeing the performance of wills, viewing property to ascertain ownership, the examination of disputed accounts, estate appraisals of deceased persons and orphans, and assisting the court in determining damages. He gained his legal expertise through "on the job training" and observing his more experienced colleagues.
In 1772, the tax-paying population of Frederick County had reached adequate size to support the formation of a new county. This new county was Dunmore (later renamed Shenandoah), named for Governor John Murray, the Earl of Dunmore. From the four ethnic groups, Governor Dunmore appointed the first Justices. Of those eight worthy gentlemen, one was George Keller from the headwaters of Toms Brook.
Let us now "flesh out" the gentleman justice, George Keller. We know that he had served his "Justice in waiting" apprenticeship. He was highly respected and had great influence in his community. George Keller was important enough to come to the attention of the Royal Governor. He could understand and speak the English Language. As German was his native language, he could function as a translator when necessary. He was highly respected and had great influence in his county. He was intelligent, as he had to attend to public business by administrating justice. He had an impeccable reputation and great personal honor.
Less than 200 years ago not a white man dwelt in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Scientists claim it was at one time a lake, evidenced by the discovery of fossils and sea shells high up on the mountains. When discovered by the white man it was a blooming prairie, the only timber being along the rivers and creeks. It was then a dark and terrible wilderness, the home of the Red Man, where the reckless hunter and daring adventurer feared to pass. Wild game, fur bearing animals of all descriptions, wild fowl and fish abounded there. In 1716, Gov . Spottswood with a party of 50 gallant "Knights of the Golden Horseshoe" breasted the steep slopes and tangled underbrush of the Blue Ridge Mountains coming at last to the summit at " Swift Run Gap" He was the first white man to behold the Valley in its primitive beauty. Hence this entire section drained by the Shenandoah River was named in honor of Governor Spottswood. It was once the immense county of Spottsylvania. In 1734 there was a division of Spottsylvania and the valley became a part of Orange. In 1738 it was again divided and became the two counties, Frederick and Augusta. Dunmore County was taken from Frederick in 1772 and in 1777 the Legislature altered the name of Dunmore to Shenandoah. Rockingham County was organized in 1778. Other divisions were soon made. This country was long overrun by Indians of different tribes from whom it could not be bought, because there was a dispute as to the claimants. The influx of immigration to the valley began about 1732. Jost Hite, with his family, was one of the first settlers but he was soon followed by the Germans of Pennsylvania and other states. Some came direct to the valley on landing. Indians vanished into the shades of the forest as the whites enlarged the boundaries of civilization. Finally they all left the low country in the year 1754.
