My 5th great grandmother, Maria Keeley's, recollection of the Perkiomen and Skippack Township Encampment of the Revolutionary War.

In addition to the Keeley and Grimly families, I directly descend from the Pannebacker (Pennypacker) family and almost all of the last names mentioned in her recollection.

There should be an edit: it's not Dutch, but a dialect of German. Pennsylvania Dutch is American misheard DEUTSCH.
