received my copy of the Diary of Rev. Joseph Green today. I was interested in finding a copy because
the diary was cited by Edward Randolph
Kinney as a source of information about Henry Keney during the
The
Rev. Joseph Green began keeping his diary on March 4, 1700 and it ended on June
18, 1715.
The
Rev. died on November 26, 1715 at the age of 40 years.
Henry
Keney himself is not mentioned once in Rev. Green's diary.

The
only person I could find in the diary besides young Ann Putnam who went to
speak with Rev. Green of anything regarding the witch trials, was the wife
of John Dale, Henry Keney, Sr's. neighbor and son-in-law. Unfortunately, it
turned out that the Mrs. John Dale who spoke to the reverend on Feb. 9,

Henry's
daughter, Elizabeth Kenney Dale, had passed away on Feb 06, 1694/95, ten weeks
