See photo. Thomas' wife, 2 of his brothers, David & Fountain, and his brother Elijah's wife, Eliza Jane (Holloway) Keeney, all died between 1855 and 1860. We have not yet learned what caused such havoc amongst these young people in their prime. Thomas & Elijah are in the home; each with a daughter from their departed wives.

Event Place Division Thirty Five, Jackson, Missouri, United States
See photo. Thomas & Mary are in #49. Nearby are most of Thomas' siblings and their families. As of March 2017, I am still trying to connect Mary Keeney and her 4 children that are in the home with 'our' Keeney family.
