Hi all,

I've been researching my McKeon family and have found some unexpected relatives in Worcester and Charlton, MA.

My gggrandfather is Patrick McKeon, son of James McKeon and Ann Smith of Ireland.

James McKeon and Ann Smith had the following children I can confirm through death certificates, obits and other records:

Ellen McKeon b. 1849 d. 1924 Married Michael McKeon-they lived in Charlton, MA and had 7 children that I know of. 1 daughter of theirs married a Jameson, I think another married a McTigue.

Patrick McKeon b. 1854 d. 1933 Married Bridget Flynn-they lived in Worcester, MA and had 7 children.

Mary McKeon b. 1858 d. bef 1930 and married Michael McGurn and had 3 children that I know of. Believe they lived in Charlton, MA.

Terence McKeon b. 1863 d. 1928 and married Nora Donahue. They lived in Worcester and had 8 children that I know of. One of their daughters married a James Brennan.

Catherine (Catharine/Katherine) McKeon b. 1871 d. ? married Frank McKee and lived in Brooklyn, New York. They had one son, James E. McKee. Frank owned a florist shop in Brooklyn and James worked as a florist when he was an adult.

I'm looking for further information on this family. I don't know where in Ireland they were from and I'm hoping to connect with family to share what information I have uncovered so far!

For interest, the McKeon's named in McKeon Square and McKeon Road in Worcester are descendants of Patrick and Bridget McKeon. I'd love to share our family history with you.

Patricia McKeon
