Here is what I know: 1860 - David Keefe - age 35, farmer, b. Ireland Anne Keefe - age 25, b. Ireland William Keefe - age 10, b. NY James Keefe - age 8, b. NY Lawrence Keefe - age 7, b. NY (1900 census has him b. Nov 1852) Mary A. Keefe - age 6, b. NY David Keefe - age 8/12, b. NY I cannot be sure of David's family before the 1860 census, though there are plenty of Keefe's listed in Franklin. Additionally, I cannot for the life of me find any of them in the 1870 census. I know that Lawrence made it to Newport, Sullivan, NH, by about 1875 where he married Mary Cotter (b. May 1862 in Ireland) and where their two oldest children were born (William D. and Lena). By 1880, they are in Leicester, Clay, Nebraska, and from 1900 on they are in Kearney, Buffalo, Nebraska. If anyone could assist with the earlier years, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
