This is my first email to this list. My name is Bob, and I live in Ohio. But I descend from a KEGGAN line from Morris Co, NJ. My ggfather was Nelson Keggan, d around 1864? and buried in Mendham, NJ. His wife was a Ruth Ammerman or Amerman. Nelson's father was a Jacob Keggan, I learned from an Obit that I once saw. Jacob Keggan is listed in the 1860 census as from Warren County. I had some copies of info on these and later Keggan's, but lost it all in a house fire in 1995. Any help on this family will be appreciated. Thank you.
