Goodness, what a great deal of information!I fear, however, that much of it is mistaken.
I am descended from John Keeney (1712-1800).I think that he was a grandson of Alexander Keeney, as the great Connecticut genealogist Donald Lines Jacobus at first thought (he later changed his mind, though not, I believe, for compelling reasons; details are in his papers, now held at the Connecticut Historical Society at Hartford); I do not know who his father was -- Ebenezer's a possibility.
No one has worked out Alexander's ancestry.The best guess (I think) is that he was a Scot, taken as a prisoner of war by the Commonwealth, and shipped with others to America.Details sufficient to make this guess are in NEHGS's "Register", "The Connecticut Nutmegger", and a calendar of the government of colonial New Jersey.
By the way, a knight and a baronet are distinctly different, though each is addressed as "Sir".A good encyclopaedia will give you the details.
