1.   John Keny, d. 12 Aug 1693 in Milton, MA.  He married Unknown.  (See additional remarks below).

2.  Nathaniel Keney, b. 6 Mar 1685 in Milton, MA.  Married 8 Mar 1707, Elizabeth Carnes.

4.  Nathan Kenney, b. 1741 in Chatham, MA, d. 24 Apr 1827.  Married Jun 1764, Sarah Nickerson, d. 25 Mar 1847.

 

5.  Nathan Kinney, b. 25 Dec 1778 in Barrington, Shelburne, Nova Scotia, d. 13 Feb 1862 in Chebogue, Nova Scotia [erroneously reported as CT in some genealogies]. Married abt 1799 in Yarmouth, Nova  Scotia, Hannah Durkee, b. 1772, d. 10 May 1857.

 

6.  William Kinney, b. 2 Sep 1809 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, d. 20 Aug 1890 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.  Married 29 May 1831 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Orpha Robbins, b. 22 Aug 1810 in Chebogue, Nova Scotia [erroneously reported as CT in some genealogies], (daughter of Joseph Robbins & Hannah Raymond and descendant of Richard Warren of the Mayflower) d. 17 Oct 1895 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

 

7.   William Kinney, b. 15 Apr 1832 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, d. 3 Jun 1915 in Hilo, HI.  (According to his obituary, he came to Hawaii in about 1853.)

Married abt 1867 in Hanalei, Kaua'i, HI, Kaiwiho'opilipili Kailua, b. abt 1843 in Hanalei, Kaua'i, HI, d. abt 1894 in Hanalei, Kaua'i, HI.

 

Note: William and first wife, Caroline Dailey, had two children: Minnie and William Ansel.   William [Sr.] also had children by Native Hawaiians Kaiwiho'opilipili Kailua [three children?] and Louise Kuliuiki [one child?].    He married second Emalia Piialoha Kailimai, also a Native Hawaiian, and they had seven children.

 

Some undocumented genealogies list William [Sr.] as William Ansel Kinney, Sr., and his son as William Ansel Kinney Jr./II. To date, I have found no documentation for the middle name of William [Sr.].  The full name of his first son, William Ansel Kinney, is documented.  Some undocumented genealogies confuse the life story of William [Sr.] with that of his son William Ansel Kinney (who was involved in Hawaii politics).

The only known (to me) information about John Keny, d. Milton, MA, 1693, is from:

Keeney, Keny Family of Milton, Mass., and Nova Scotia, Canada

NEGHR 108:113 (1954)

Compiled by Mrs. Florance L. K. Robertson (Florance Keeney Robertson)

 

Therein, Robertson "presumes" that Arthur Keayne was the father of this John. She also "presumes" that Arthur was a relative of Christopher Keayne of Cambridge, MA and of Capt. Robert Keayne of Boston, covered in her 1942 book (not to be confused with her 1947 book about Henry of Salem, MA). When she compiled the data, she had no further information regarding the ancestry of these families.

 

Assuming the genealogies are correct, this Y-DNA match of a descendant of John of Milton, MA, to descendants of Henry of Salem, MA, indicates that both John and Henry share a common ancestor. The Y-DNA match can not tell us who he was or when he lived, but it does tell us that direct line male descendants of Henry and John share an unknown Kinney male ancestor.  Based on the information known to me at this time, and assuming all the genealogies presented are correct, it appears that John of Milton is NOT a direct descendant of Henry of Salem.  Hence, there is an earlier ancestor shared by the two. 

 

Titles of the books mentioned above:

*Robertson, Florance Loveless Kenney. THE KEAYNE-KEEN(E)-KEENEY-KINNE(Y)-KENNEY AND ALLIED FAMILIES. (1942)

** Robertson, Florance Keeney. THE GENEALOGY OF HENRY AND ANN KINNE, PIONEERS OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS. (1947)

The direct maternal line (mtDNA) is from the Big Island (Hawai'i) of Hawai'i where the family has lived since Puna was settled by ancient Hawaiians. Kapuni (est. born about 1820) and Kalawe Makua, were parents of Naihuelua (m. Mahi'ai Kanoho), mother of Annie (m. Ah Chong), who was mother of Kawena b. 1880 (m. Rev. Solomon Ka'ulili), mother of Esther Kau'ikeaulani b. 1913  (m. Kinney), mother of the participant. The group of mutations 16189C, 16217C, 16247G, and 16261T collectively define the "Polynesian Motif", a special subgroup of haplogroup B which is found almost exclusively in Polynesia.  See, e.g., Oppenheimer and Richards, Science Progress (2001), 84 (3), 157-181.
