VOLUME XV, Number 1 March 1998
On Page 8 under the heading of IOWA
POLK COUNTY TOWNS. AVON
The first election in the township of Allen was held April 5, 1853, and the following officers were elected: Trustees, J.P. Deaton, John Watts, James S. Mills; Clerk, Henry O. McBroom; Assessor, Charles B. Flemming; and the first meeting was held at the house of John D. McGlothlin. The latter was one of the early settlers, prominent in township and county affairs, and in every way a most excellent and enterprising farmer and citizen. He died some years ago. In this township was also located the Indian village of Keokuk, chief of the Sacs and Foxes, and there he made his home for several years. Nothing is left now but a few traces of this once large Indian village, but the beautiful land thereabouts yet retains the name of “Keokuk Prairie.”

I am looking for ancestors of Bernard and Lillian Keeney. I am their son Benjamins granddaughter. My grandfathers siblings were, Johnny, Tutty and Girlie. Those are the names I knew of them by and there may have been more.

William
KEENEY was born September/October 1799. Where? Maybe NY state, per
his death reported in the 1850 Mortality Federal Census for Illinois. He
was married to Clarissa D (Davis?) perhaps in 1821 in
Connecticut. At any rate their known children were: Clarissa Elizabeth
KEENEY, born about 1828 Massachusetts (per 1850 Illinois Federal
Census), William KEENEY, Jr., born 1828-1830 Massachusetts,
David, born 1828-1830 Massachusetts/Ohio and George Nelson KEENEY,
born about 1835 Ohio.
The family was in Crete, Will County, Illinois by 1836. William, Sr. died in 1849, his wife predeceased him in 1843. The three sons were listed in the 1860 federal census for Illinois, but no further data has been found. Could they all have perished in the Civil War, or did they return and settle elsewhere?
Clarissa Elizabeth KEENEY was married three times: 1) John L. HASKIN (died 1859), 2) Webster A. Castle (he deserted her) and 3) Hiram Moulton. No further info on her after 1862 marriage to Moulton. Her children by John Haskin all remained in the Will County or Chicago, Cook Co, IL area. She is my great-great-grandmother.
I know there are zillions of KEENEYs and I have lots of miscellaneous material, but still cannot find the parents and birthplace of my William

great-grandfather is Daniel B Keeny b. 27 Dec 1838 in York Co,
PA, moved to Carlisle, Cumberland Co, PA where he enlisted in the Civil
War - 130th PV.
In the 1870s he moved to Peru, KS.
Have hit a dead
end - cannot find his ancestry. Could he have been a Keeney?
Family legend says his middle name was Boone but cannot find any
corroboration
Does anybody know of any family Reunions?
If so send information & I'll include it here.
