  Notes	Strangely this slaveholder may have more direct ties to Harrisburg than imagined. At least one of the DeBenneville Keim brood lived in Harrisburg briefly, and regularly contributed to the newspaper after the war! It seems like we may have gotten lucky with this slaveholder-enslaved connection, because otherwise there may have been no obituary published for Richard Scrivner! So what was Keim’s motivation? Was it to clear his name? He certainly seemed well aware of the power of subtle forms of social media marketing! Only those aware of the various genealogies of the Planter Class would have been able to make the connection at the time--The planter class themselves and those who they enslaved. eBay. “De Benneville Randolph Keim Archive First City Zouaves Harrisburg City Grays.” Accessed October 15, 2023.
