Surnames: Keeney/McDowell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3BC.2ACE/1768.1 Message Board Post: The McDowell Keeney connection is J.W. McDowell married Rosie Ellen Keeney in 1880 in Falls County. I am trying to connect this Keeney family from Texas to another Keeney family. I am running into brick walls. I do know this family was in Texas around 1880 but I can't find them anywhere on LDS 1880 census.
