Most of the material
on these Keeney pages was originally
taken directly from the excellent work of my late first cousin
once removed
Roscoe C.
Keeney
in his 2,597 Keeney Relatives and
its related after-followings.
Roscoe's many years
of diligent, reliable research on these family lines
served as stepping stones for many more family members'
searches!
One of those 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. However, I, John Gwin, in
searching for a way to align ALL my lines, am renumbering them,
starting with my own generation as 28. All others will go forward
or backward from there. That leaves us plenty of room to work
backward without having to stop and say, "Rats. I wish I'd started
with ten instead of nine." And maybe we're being optimistic, but
in this rapidly expanding world of the internet, who knows how
soon and how far back we'll find ourselves? So 28 it is.

This
is
Maggie
Paxton,
now the bride of Granduncle Roscoe Keeney. Until seeing
this census, I'd never heard her called anything but
Maggie. Perhaps her given name IS Maggie and the
enumerator speculated that this was a nickname and
recorded Margurette. On the other hand, this being her
first census as an adult, she may have given the
enumerator her real first name, a rare occurrance. |
