I've "rescued" an old photograph of Ross & Clay BEENEY which was taken at the T. Morrow Studio in Fredericktown, Ohio. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with both appearing to be in their teens or 20's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following census information for this family: 1880 census of Clinton, OH: William BEENY age 29, born OH, a Farmer, parents born England Maria BEENY, wife, age 27, born OH, Keeping House, parents born PA Clay BEENY, son, age 7, born OH, a Scholar Ross BEENY, son, age 2, born OH 1910 census of Jefferson Township, OH: Clay BEENY, age 37, married 9 years, born OH, parents born OH, a Farmer Ethel BEENY, wife, age 34, married 9 years, no children, born OH, parents born OH Harry DOXEY, boarder, age 6, born OH, parents unknown 1920 census of Wayne, OH: Clay O. BEENEY, age 45, born OH, parents born OH/PA, a Foundry Laborer Ethel BEENEY, wife, age 42, born OH, parents born OH I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this BEENEY Family, or if you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hi Shelley, The Beeney family that you mentioned is part of my husband's line. This is how he is related: 1. James & Sarah BEENY, born in England, came to the U.S. in 1822 and settled in Clinton, Knox Co., OH. They lived in Clinton about 3 years and moved to a farm in Clinton Twp. until 1855, and then moved to Licking Co., OH. James died in Nov. 1860, followed by his wife in 1870. They had 10 children, 6 sons and 4 daughters. One of the sons was Joseph BEENY listed below. 2. Joseph BEENY/BEENEY was born 8 Oct. 1802 in England, married Hannah WRIGHT in 1822 in England and came to the U.S. with his parents (listed above). He and Sarah lived with his parents, James & Sarah BEENY, until 1825 when he moved to Liberty Twp., Knox Co., OH. They lived there several years then bought several other farms. In 1850 Joseph bought a farm 3 miles from Mt. Vernon on the Columbus Rd. Joseph died in 1915. He and his wife had 10 children: 6 sons and 4 daughters. One of the sons was Henry John BEENEY, listed below. 3. Henry John BEENEY was born 29 July 1843-45 and married Margaret "Maggie" S. POLAND. Henry died 17 Dec. 1919 in Liberty Twp., Knox Co., OH. His wife "Maggie" was born 28 Apr. 1847 and died 8 Mar. 1923 in Liberty Twp., Knox Co., OH. They had a least 1 daughter, Mamie BEENEY, listed below. Henry is buried in Mound View Cemetery in Mt. Vernon, OH. I have old photos of Henry and Margaret "Mamie" BEENEY at their home. Henry's sister, Harriet BEENEY Britton, is also in the photo. * I believe the William BEENY/BEENEY you listed is a brother of Henry John BEENEY. 4. Mamie BEENEY was born 11 Mar. 1881 and married Edwin L. BROWN on 20 May 1903. She died 30 Oct. 1918. Edwin was born 8 Aug. 1874 and died 20 Mar. 1953. Both are buried in Friendship Cemetery, Liberty Twp., Knox Co., OH. They had 5 children: Lawrence, Ralph, Margaret (listed below), Frances, and Eleanor. 5. Margaret I. BROWN was born in 1908 and married Harry THOMPSON on 21 Dec. 1946 in Mt. Vernon. Margaret died 2 Jan, 1994 in Mt. Vernon and is buried in Friendship Cemetery, Knox Co., OH. They had 1 son, Jerry D. THOMPSON (listed below). 6. Jerry D. THOMPSON was born 13 Oct. 1947 in Mt. Vernon, Knox Co., OH and married Gretchen Danja (Kindinger) Schaefer on 2 July 1994 in Mansfield, Richland Co., OH. The above info. was all I could find at 5 am when I read your e-mail. Are you able to scan the photos and e-mail them to me at dthompson2@neo.rr.com? That way I will have a copy and you could give the originals to Ross and Clay's families, if you find their direct descendants.
