A.E. was born in Johnson County, TN. He married Florence in Mountain City. She was also born in Johnson County (see correction below). They had seven children.

Martha Keys added this correction to the Keys Family on Oct.2, 2003.

On the Keys Family page: Florence Hutchinson Keys was born in 1858, in Jefferson, Ashe Co., NC. Her father was William Waugh Hutchinson and her mother was Elizabeth Needham Hutchinson. I know this to be true because Florence and AE were my great-grandparents. My grandfather was George Graham Keys, b. 1888, in Washington Co., VA.

Thanks.
