We're talking Shrewsbury twp, but earlier than your Kellers were there.

Henry Keller was taxed in Shrewsbury twp. as a single man in 1779 and
1780. In the 1790s and early 1800s, he lived in a Shrewsbury twp
house that he purchased from his father-in-law's estate. He sold it
to his brother-in-law, John Seitz Jr., before moving to Ohio.

According to Keith Dull's "Early Families of York County, Penn.",
Henry had three brothers and two sisters. I don't know what happen to
the brothers or one of the sisters. Sister Mary married Nicholas
Beery Jr. and moved to Virginia. After her death, her husband married
again and migrated to Fairfield County, Ohio. Nicholas and Mary are
my ancestors.
