William Keyser II was born on 27 May 1784 in Germantown, Pennsylvania, a descendant of Dirck Keyser who came to Germantown in 1688 from Amsterdam. William was named after his brother William who was born on 15 Jan 1783 and died shortly thereafter and also for his paternal grandfather. William was one of thirteen children born to Andrew Keyser and Mary Palmer and the oldest son that grew to adulthood.
