Search of the Index pages of the Vendors Index on the Historical Land Records Viewer (HLRV) for Surname Initial "KE" for John KEYS elicited over time numerous references to land being sold by him for several lots of land in the township of Lochinvar west of Maitland. He appears to have become a Butcher and Inn Keeper while living there. The Red Lion Inn owned by John KEYS was rebuilt in the early 1900's and is now known as the Lochinvar Hotel.
A map showing the land for sale on behalf of the Estate of Leslie DUGUID in 1840 is shown below.
