Origin of Keys surname in County Fermanagh, Ireland

Clef42 — 2007-11-23 20:37:23Z

Can you help me identify the origin of the Keys surname in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland?

DNA testing has ruled out a genetic relationship with the Keys family at Lifford, which first appeared in Ireland under Elizabeth I and settled there under James 1.

The first documented Keys in County Fermanagh is Hugh Keys born ca.1660 and died in 1733. A mention of a Widow Ki (or Kee?) on a 1720 survey suggests that the name may have evolved in that period.

Documentary sources suggest that Keys (as well as other commono names such as MacKey, MacKay, MacKee, MacKoy, Hughes, Hewson, Eason, MacHugh and McGee) may have been an anglicized form of the Celtic Mac Aoidha (or son of Aodh, meaning "fire," anglicized as Hugh). In light of this, it may be relevant that the first documented Keys in Fermanagh bore the christian name Hugh.

One family of McKee originated in Myrton-McKee, Penninghame, Wigton, Scotland and settled in counties Down and Antrim. This line appears to account for a large proportion of McKees in Northern Ireland.

Another branch of Scottish McKees in Ireland derives from John McKie of Larg, Minnigaff, Kirkcudbright, descended from Sir Patrick McKie. This family settled in Derry.

MacHugh originated in Galway and spread into County Roscommon. The name is now frequent in counties Leitrim and Fermanagh.

The MacGee name in Ulster is either of Scottish, akin to MacDonnell (and thus ultimately Irish in origin), or is a from a Gaelic Irish group that lived on the Donegal and Tyrone borders. The early history of this branch is not known.

Finally, one source indicates that MacKee can also be a anglicization of Macan Caoich (coach = blind), and was used by the Oreilly of Breffney. This later evolved into Key(e)s.

Lastly, heraldry provides one further clue. The motifs on the Keys coats of arms found on gravestones in Fermanagh are common to many armorial bearings. However, one coat of arms in Scotland, that of the Aberach MacKay family, shows a strong resemblance. It has the lion rampant and hand in common with Keys arms, and also adds 10 fleur de lis on the outside of the shield. A relationship between the two is possible, but perhaps not probable.

Barring further documentary evidence, we must appeal to DNA to unravel this mystery. I invite males bearing the surnames McKee, McGee, McHugh, Hughes and variants of these to help solve the riddle by participating in DNA projects. Please contact me if interested.

Thank you.

Re: Elizabeth MILROY McKEY > Chemung Co. NY

I would like to add further information to my own query as I've located a list of the children born to Alexander and Elizabeth MILROY McKEY. Jane, John Alexander b. abt 1795, Mary, Alexander W., Ann, Peter, Margaret and Anthony.

Elizabeth MILROY McKEY > Chemung Co. NY

grizziesgirl — 2007-10-19 20:01:55Z

Elizabeth MILROY McKEY applied for a widow's pension and, in part, here is what the extract reads, typos included (I do not have the actual file):
"On this twentieth day of January in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty seven ... in the County Court of the County of Chemung Elizabeth McKey a resident of the Town of Veteran in the County of Chemung and said State of New York aged Eighty two years, ... make the following declaration ... That she is the widow of Alexander McKey late of the Town of Erin ... that her husband resided during said War of the Revolution about ten miles south of the City of Albany ... that her said husband served between one and two, or nearly two years as a Fifer and also as a Sergeant in the first New York Regiment commanded by Colonel Van Schaack. That her said husband died in the Town of Erin in the County of Chemung, aforesaid on the third day of June Eighteen hundred & thirty. ... That she was married to the said Alexander McKey on the Eighteenth day of October Seventeen hundred and Eighty by the Rev'd John Young a Presbyterian Clergyman at Princetown Schenectady County NY that the following persons were present at her marriage, to wit: her sisters Jannet, and Ann, Thomas Gifford and wife, Archibald Van Schaack."

Note: I descend through Elizabeth's sister Mary MILROY McWILLIAM; they were the daughters of John and Elizabeth (poss. McCRACKEN) MILROY who immigrated from Scotland in 1774. I would especially like to know when and where their parents died.

Hi Shirley, I haven't been working on the Mckeys lately and need to refresh, and regroup but you could email me at vick@screaminet.com. I remember the name Luvenia McKey, and I have lots of ancestors; McKeys, Whitleys, Davenports etc. in Lavaca Co. and some descendants are still there. I also believe the McKeys were in Ala. but I never heard that Sarah Polk was related to the president, but who knows.

Marsha:

Phinis W. McKey was my gg grandfather. Yes, he was 2nd Lieut. with Co. "I" of the 31st. I have spoken with Dennis Hutchinson before. I received a copy of Phinis' Civil War pension file earlier this year from the National Archives. I will e-mail you my notes from that file.

I have suspected that his father was Richard H. W. McKey (1829-1902) a well known physician. I have his mother's first name as "Patience" but do not have a maiden name. I do not know the names of any of his siblings. It would be great if we can make the connection with Sue.

Re: John Mckey b.1861 Ala.?

2001-07-16 20:04:26Z

Hi Shirley,
Good to hear from you, and if your McKey was buried in Willow Grove, she must be related to my McKeys. Where do you live? There are a lot of McKey descendants in Lavaca Co. and other parts of Tex. Have you been in touch with any of them? Right now I am so busy, our daughter is going to be married here at home in 2 weeks and I am really out of touch with all of the genealogy stuff. I am not familiar with your g grandmothers' name at all but some how I THINK I recall the name Self. Could be wrong. I won't be much help to you until this wedding is over, then I'm leaving on a trip for a week.
I know there was a McKey reunion this summer, I've never been to one.
Let me hear from you regarding these questions and we'll go from there. I can tell you that I don't have a lot of documented information, regarding the Mckeys, and the searching I did came up with very little. There is some information that was handed down to me, that is confusing and not documented. I did make contact with other MacKey/McKey descendants, there are lots out there but if you and I are looking for the same family we need to stick together and see what we can come up with. John Robert McKey b.1861 was in the 1900 Lavaca Co. Tx census with wife Eva Eliza and 4 children. John Robert's father was Thomas J. McKey--in the 1880 census Thomas J.'s widow Sarah 50yrs, son John 19, Thomas j.17, and L. Sarah was 13yrs. Sarah born S.C. and her children were all born in Ala.. If your Luvneia (is that spelling correct?) was born about 1859, could she have been a sister to John Robert? My email address- v_neugebauer@hotmail.com

We just heard today from an individual on the web who has been researching the 31st Indiana that there is only one Phineas in the 31st - a Phineas McKey. So perhaps we are related. We are descended from Sue and A.T. Kelly (whom we believe to be Allen Thomas Kelly based on another entry on ancestry.com regarding his second wife).

McKEE IRE to NYC 1840s

TDdewhurst — 2001-08-14 16:36:52Z

Hello,
I'm interested in the family of:

Andrew McKEE, born Red Hill, Co Cavan, IRE about 1833 to John & Ann ?. He came to NYC about 1840.
Married Mary HOGAN (She was born about 1837 in NY to Michael HOGAN & Johanna NOONAN.) Andrew was a sailmaker and lived on Spring St in Manhattan. Andrew died 30 Dec 1898 in Manhattan. Mary died 15 Oct 1904 in Manhattan.
Their children:
1. Michael McKEE born about 1856 in NYC. Don't know what became of him.
2. John McKEE born about 1858 in NYC, may have married a Florence ?
3. Thomas McKEE, born about 1860 in NYC. was a sailmaker in 1880.
4. Andrew McKEE born Aug 1866 in NYC. He was a letter carrier for Post Office. married Margareth ? Lived around 176th St. in 1900.
5. James McKEE born about 1868 in NYC. Was a stone polisher, lived with his mother in 1900 on 110 St.
6. Edward McKEE, born about 1871 in NYC. living at home with his mother in 1900 on 110 St.
7. Florence McKEE born about 1875 in NYC. She married a man with the surname WALSH.
8. Mary McKEE born Jun 1876 in NYC. She married William MacINTOSH after 1900. Dies 1931.
9. George A. McKEE born 30 Sep 1877 in NYC. He too was a letter carrier for Post Office. He married Margaret M. THORNTON. In 1920 living E 178 St.
10. Josephine McKEE born Jul 1880 - was living with her mother in 1900 at 110 St.
I'd like to share info with descendants of this family. They are hard to trace after 1900 - as there are so many McKEEs in NYC and they would have scattered after their mother died.
There's also evidence that Andrew had a brother named Thomas McKEE (a coachmaker - also lived on Spring St)
Then too - there was another Andrew McKEE living in Brooklyn who is related in some way (both are buried in the same grave in Calvary Cemetery)

On 1880 census daughter Agnes stated that both her parents were from Scotland but I dunno about that - she may have meant New Scotland, Albany Co. I don't know where those children were born or if there were more, which is likely enough.
