Hi Folks ... And particularly to Linda whom I have spoken with before. I've been reading your messages on the Kaney family. I am also a member of the Kaney family, only not from South Carolina, but from New Jersey. Michael Kaney and his wife Mary Cancannon arrived from Ireland to settle in Bradevelt in Monmouth County, New Jersey, in approximately 1848. I would be interested in any info anyone may have about a Kaney prior to entry into the U.S. I have not been able to find a Kaney currently listed in Ireland, perhaps the original name was corrupted upon arrival here and was changed to Kaney.
Best wishes
