Biography

Richard Kinnon (aka Keenan) was born in Portuguese Cove, Halifax County, Nova Scotia to Laurence Keenan and Elizabeth Purcell.

He married Mary Long in 1820 in Halifax.[1]

Richard and Mary had one known child together, a daughter Catherine born in 1823 in Fergusons Cove, Halifax County.[2]

Research Notes

Richard's date of birth is unknown. It is estimated here based on his parents being married in December 1784,[3] and his mother being remarried in 1793.

Richard's date of death is unknown; it would have been between 1822 and 1827, when Mary was listed as a widow on a Halifax County deed.[4]
