YES, I am a descendant of this very man Gordon Jackson Keeney, the 1st, born Dec. 05 1846 in Erie, Monroe Co. Michigan and died August 05 1918 in San Diego, San Diego County, California. He married to Lottie E. Nichols on 21 Apr 1880 in Sylvania, Lucas Co., Ohio. They had a son (my ancestor) Gordon Jackson Keeney born on 09 Jul 1883 in Fargo, Cass County, North Dakota and died 22 Mar 1949 in Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington State.
This Gordon J. Keeney (1883-1949) married to my great grandmother Dorothy Marie Phillips.
Thank you for the posting, it is interestingly enlightening indeed and hope that my information here has helped you too. Gordon Jackson Keeney (1846-1918) was the son of Andrew Jackson Keeney/Mary Corey, then to Salmon Keeney/Mary Gordon, then to Joshua Keeney/Phebe Sturdevant. then to Mark Keeney/Abigail Beeman who were from Connecticut. Anyway this is the ancestral line to the Gordon Keeney who you are seeking....Douglas Lloyd Buchholz
