All of you who are searching for KEEN or KEENE ancestors from Massachusetts- please contact me. I have some information but I know how prolific the family was and how thoroughly documented they have been. I know there is lots of info that I can use to fill in blanks in my research. I especially want to verify or confirm dates, places, spellings, etc. from original sources.

Like many of you, my line begins with the arrival of the "Confidence" to Plymouth in 1638. My direct ancestors were John Keene/Martha, Josiah Keene/Hannah Dingley, Mathew Keen/Martha MacFarlane (various spellings), Ebenezer Keen/Mary Whiteredge (various spellings), Ebenezer Keen/Hannah Cole, William Keen/Phebe Mason, Reuben Mason Keen/Veronica Alft.

This direct line left Massachusetts about 1812 for New York, then Wisconsin (abt. 1834, then Michigan (abt. 1868), but their siblings and children remained behind. There are thousands of them out there and I want to learn about as many as possible.

If you can help, please contact me at mmchugh@PLRB.org. Thank you, Mark McHugh
