He was the son of Ralph Keeler and Sarah Howes[2] and the brother of Samuel Keeler.

The Norwalk town meeting of February 20, 1679 named him among four "masters or overseers of those pounds lieing by five mile river side."[4] His name appears in a 1694 list of "persons who are members of town meetings, who have a vote and suffrage in town affairs." The question of whether to repair and enlarge the meeting house or to build a new one "on the place where John Keeler's barn stands" was considered at a town meeting January 9, 1719.[4]
