Here are responses to three separate mails.
Joyce and Bob
Bob is right. There probably isn't any connection. My Keehn/Keen/Keene
family came from Germany in about 1850 as Kuhns. They were illiterate
and so the name changed frequently. I don't have any Angeline Keens in
the line.

Evelyn,
I didn't get anything further from you - just a note saying that you
were sending more but nothing more came. It must have got lost in space
or in yahoo.com somewhere. I'll let you know when/if it arrives. In the
meantime, Charles Keehn was born in Reading, PA the son of Edward Keehn
and Adeline Snyder. Edward immigrated to the US in about 1850 at the
age of about 4 with his parents and 2 siblings. His father Charles
worked as an iron miner until the Civil War and died in 1862 of cholera
in the war. Adeline was from a Reading family of hatters. Charles had
two siblings, my grandfather James Edward Keene and my great-aunt Ida
Mae Keene. Charles and Sadie never had any children - at least none
that lived. I'm sure I would have heard if there were any that died
even in infancy. My grandmother was very good at writing everything
down. The genealogy bug in my family started with her. I have much more
but it is at home and I am at work. I think Charles worked in a cigar
factory but my father has also said he was a painter. Let me know if
you want more on the Keehns.
