Most of the material on these Keeney pages
is taken directly from the excellent work of
Roscoe C. Keeney
in his 2,597 Keeney Relatives and its
related
after-followings.
[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.]

Left: One day in Witcher, WV, at 2000 Orchard Avenue. Nothing is written on the back; however, the date must have been about 1954-55 (clearly in the summer), as the youngest, Pat, was b. 14 Feb 1951 and looks to be three or maybe four here, so Jennie won't be born for another one or two years. L-r, sitting, are Jim, Cinders, Janie, Bennie, Pat Gwin, Judy, John Gwin, JoJo, and Tom; standing are Dot Gwin and Mrs. Metheny, Tom's mother. Photo taken by Adrian Gwin.
