James Keppel 1712

James Keppel (see the chart below) was born in 1712 during the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714). James' existence is verifiable from his online death record which states his date and place of death as 24 Sep 1789 Fennagh, Carlow, Ireland; his spouse's name as Elizabeth Hayes; his marriage year as 1747; and his year of birth as 1712. James and Elizabeth had seven children born at Fennagh, Carlow -- Ann Kepel (b. abt 1743), George Keppel (b. abt 1748), Mary Kepple (b. abt 1755), William Keppel (b. abt 1756), John Keppel (b. abt 1758), Anne Keppel (b. abt 1760) and Sally Keppel (b. abt 1762). Because of his late appearance in Irish family history records, it is likely that James was an immigrant from England or Europe.
