The Keegan Connection

  From Ella Keegan's Address Book given to her as a birthday present: Writing is not clear, so I'll clarify: Ella's parents, so also Mary Ann's, my father's mother, were Mary Morrison (Keegan) and Patrick Keegan.
Mary Morrison was born in Connacht (?) Ireland on June 24, 1845. She came to America in 1862, and she died Sept.7, 1931.Her parents were Patrick Morrison and Ann Winn. Ann died in 1931.
Patrick Keegan was born in West Mead, Ireland on June 12, 1833, and he died April 13, 1914. His parents were Peter Keegan and Nancy Coleman.
 Mary Morrison married Peter Keegan and they had 7 children.
1) Mary Ann Keegan (Madigan) Daddy's mother----1865-1930
2) Peter Keegan Nov.1, 1867--Dec. 12, 1944
3) Kate Keegan (Boose)
4) Elizabeth Keegan
5) Ella Keegan
6) Margaret Keegan
7) Jennie Keegan
      We used to visit Daddy's aunt and uncle Ella and Peter in Johnsonville. Neither married, so no children. I recall references to Kate Boose; I think she's related to the Rowe family. I don't remember anything about Elizabeth , Margaret or Jennie. Daddy used to care for his Aunt Ella when she grew older. He died before she did. When she heard of his death, she grew sad and said, "Charlie was always such a good boy." I remember thinking how odd to hear my father called a boy. He died at 71 and Ella at 95.
