Rev. Ulrich Keener was born August 11, 1801 in Washington County, Tennessee to George Thomas Keener and Margaret "Peggy" Harris. We have not been able to find where he received his excellent education.

**Rev Ulrich Keener had a good English education, and he was an extensive reader, and left behind him a considerable library of standard books, especially on the subject of theology. As a speaker, Rev Keener was argumentative, but at the same time fluent and eloquant. He was a stanch defender of the doctrines of his Church. He had a talent for music with a fine and well-cultivated voice. Though argumentative and didactic in style as a preacher, he sometimes rose to the limits of pathos and eloquence.
**Taken from booklet "Official Souvenir Centennial History" of Swain Co.,.

Ulrich married Sarah Elizabeth Duckett on Oct. 22, 1829.
He was admitted to the Holston Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church-south in 1825 and served in North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia before being assigned to the Echota Mission. He served in this Mission to the Cherokee Indians as Teacher and Preacher until his death Aug. 21, 1856 in Qualla, Jackson Co., NC

While he himself did not fight in the Civil War, four of his 5 sons and 4 of his 5 son-in-laws did serve and all survived as productive adults and as a great example of Rev. Ulrich's leadership as a Father. The two boys who did not serve were too young.
