Keillor-Powell Family Trees

Check out some of your Keillor ancestors from Edward Trenholm (1678) and John Keeler/Keller/Keillor (1695) both born in Yorkshire, England to the Powell genealogy starting on with John Vaughan born in 1613 in Wales. Why so many different spellings of Keillor early on? According to the parish in Skelton, Yorkshire where early Keillors are buried, families in the 1600s often couldn’t read or write so would use different spellings of their last names until the local rector stepped in and settled it.
