Dear Bev, I'm sorry to take so long to reply, but I haven't had time to properly absorb your wonderful info until now. From their close association (various family members listed in the same bible record), I'd have to say that I believe that William & Kerney Sr. are definitely related somehow. From their ages (22 yrs difference) William could be an older brother or Kerney's father. I really need to dig into the land & probate records. Unfortuantely, at this time, I can't return your favor in kind as I'm just starting my research into this line. What little info I have I received from my uncle who was more interested in direct ancestors (which currently deadend at Kerney Sr.), while I want to dig deeper & fill in the siblings/spouses, etc. You've given me a good starting position for my research, for which I thank you very much. As I discover more I will share my info with you. Susan Michael Monroe, NC
