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.
Page updated 1 Sep 2011
The updating of the numbering system
used on this page has been completed. Generation 28 is my own;
27 is that of my parents; 29 is that of my children, etc. -- John M.
Gwin, May 2009
The reformatting of the name font and census data for
this page has NOT been completed. --John M. Gwin, Aug 2011
[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.]

Meet Hannah and
Milly!
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

Norman
H. Harless Hello all
family and friends, My aunt Milly who I have been
guardian for the past 8 years has passed away today at
12:30 eastern. She had a long life, reaching the grand
old age of 95 last month.
John M.
Gwin Holt,
THANK you, Cousin, for your labor of love in serving as her
guardian so faithfully.
Mickey
Harless In 1979, the
night before my high school graduation in Inman, SC, I
was awakened during the middle of the night. Milly had
driven from Witcher all the way to Inman to attend my
graduation. A few years later I got to spend a year with
Milly & Hannah while I attended WV Tech. Milly will
always have a most special place in my heart and I look
forward to seeing her again one day in heaven. Praise
God, Milly's gone home.
