John Keeler (February 9, 1654 – May 19, 1717) was a member of the General Assembly of the Colony of Connecticut from Norwalk in the October 1698 session.
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 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]
