[John M. Gwin Note:  One of those above-mentioned related after-followings, a special issue of the Keeney Update, March 1987, includes a preface which numbers the generations beginning in America.  The first ancestor mentioned in that preface is unnumbered, so I originally gave it a negative 1 numbering here. However, in early 2009, I renumbered all my pages, using my generation arbitrarily as number 28, my children's as 29, my parents' as 27, etc. Therefore, Sir Thomas Keney, below, who for years was numbered -1.00, is now generation 17.]

17.00--Sir Thomas Keney (sic), b. 1578, Norfolk, England; d. in New London, CT;

18.00--John Keeney, b. 1600, Norfolk, England; d. 1622 Salem, MA; m. Sarah Cheever (1621-1674)

19.00--Henry Keeney, b. 8 Jul 1623 in England; d. 6 Jun 1710; m. Ann Putnam;

20.00--John Keeney, b. ca.1651-2; d. 1718 Lynn, MA; m. Elizabeth Locke;

22.00--David Keeney;  m. Martha (nee unk.) (b. 12 Mar 1714; moved to Greenbrier Co., VA, in 1756;

23.00--Moses Keeney, b. 1766 in Greenbrier Co., WV; d. about 1840 in Kanawha Co.; m. 11 Aug 1789 in  Greenbrier Co. to Frances Harris;  10 children

Cousins, friends, family all:

I would like this page to become an album for Hannah and Milly. If you have photos of them that you can email me, I'll be glad to add them to the page. I'd especially like anecdotes, testimonies, stories from your own memories, items from their careers, etc.

Thanks for anything you can type up and send in.

Love to you all,

John

The summer of 1920, the four oldest were visiting Aunt Maude out at Tad, and she took their picture with the two Lucas girls dressed up for a picnic in front of the old Tad Post Office.


Her pride and joy, the '57 Ponty.

This is the 2001 Keeney Reunion. It looks to me as if it were held at St. Albans City Park. Hannah and Adrian have already passed away earlier this same year. Let's see how many I can name. Standing in center are two oldest present, brother and sister Buster (now gone) and Milly (still here in 2009) Keeney. At left in a group of four are Buster's daughter Becky and Amon Samples and their daughter Shannon with her infant. Next, going to the right, is an unrecognized face, then George and Frankie Keeney's daughter Lynn Lee Bright. Next to and behind Lynn is another unrecognized face, then who appears to be Maxine and Norman's oldest, Jeanne Carol Smith, with her hands on the shoulders of an unrecognized young one in a black top. Continuing right is Adrian and Dot Gwin's younger, my late brother Pat. Next and behind Pat is another unrecognized face, then Jeanne's sister Mary Chloe Meadows, then two more unrecognized faces. One either side of Buster are Mary's daughter Leah and Jeanne's and Mary's sister, Dorothy Jane Smith. I'm sorry that of the remaining dozen or so  standing, I can only recognize Joe Bill Keeney in the green and white plaid shirt.  And of the nine in the front row kneeling or sitting on a lap, I recognize only Teresa (at left) and Mack Keeney (with his hand on her knee). So of the forty present, I recognized 14 (or 35 percent). Readers, can you help with any of the rest (or correct any errors I may have made)? Email me at jmcdgwin@zianet.com -- thanks!  John Gwin (photographer unknown)
