This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Keary, Sullivan, Cheney Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WEB.2ACI/182.2.3.1 Message Board Post: Captain Patrick Keary was later promoted to a Major and was the brother of Hugh Mack Keary & William Vousden Keary. I'm a direct descendant of William. My grandfather's name is Patrick Foley Keary, who eventually moved here to California and died from injuries in a car accident in 1955. Unfortunately, we have no Civil War papers on the "original" Patrick Keary.
