Nancy Beaty, b. ca. 1802, Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan, m. Thomas Keoun in 1825 in Newry. According to family files, she was the daughter of James Beaty and wife, Jane. Both families immigrated to South Carolina. The Keouns persistently spelled the name with a "u" in spite of the fact that there were many Keowns in SC. I would very much like to hear from anyone researching these families in Monaghan as I have run into a dead end. Would also like any information about the Keoun name spelling. Thanks! Sharon Rogers
