7. James4 Keenan (James3, Thomas2, James1) He was born about 16 September 1823 at Youngstown, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. After being ill for six weeks aboard the ship Surprise, he died at age 38 years, eight months and six days on Thursday evening, 22 May 1862, at Blanchard's Hotel, on Fourth Avenue, New York, New York. His body was brought back to Pennsylvania by his brother-in-law James C. Clarke. He was buried in the cemetery at the Greensburg, Pennsylvania.[24]

His obituary notice stated that "Being an elder brother, many of the responsibilities both of a father and a brother were cast upon him in early life. ... he provided for his widowed mother, and with what wise counsels he guided ... his young and inexperienced brothers."[25]

He was six feet in height, and had dark eyes and black hair. He entered college at Mt. St. Mary's College at Emmitsburg, Maryland. He cut short his studies to join the Mexican War. His father willed his son James $5.00, saying that he had "... already expended large sums of money in their mainentance and education."[26]

During the Mexican War, he volunteered for the Army on 1 December 1846 and joined "as a private in Capt. Herron's company, the `Duquesne Grays,' of Pittsburgh, First Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers." He mustered into Co. K, First Pennsylvania Volunteers at Pittsburg on 8 December 1846. He was discharged on a Surgeons Certificate of Disability on 27 April 1847 at Vera Cruz, Mexico. He returned from Mexico suffering from illness. He recovered and was appointed a lieutenant in the Eleventh United States Army Infantry. He opened a recruiting office in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and returned to Mexico with his command in the spring of 1848. After his return from Mexico, he was elected register and recorder for Westmoreland County in 1849 and 1852. On 2 February 1852, Governor Bigler appointed him Adjutant General of Pennsylvania.[27]

In a letter dated 18 February 1853 to U.S. President Franklin Pierce, J. M. Burrell of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, in support of James Keenan's request to be appointed U.S. Consul to Glasgow, wrote "In 1846, James Keenan responded to the first call upon Pennsylvania for troops for the Mexican War by volunteering as a Private Soldier in one of the companies raised in the western part of this State. After remaining some time in Service, he was appointed by President Polk, a Lieut. of Infantry, in which post he served until the close of the War. ... In 1851 Gov. Bigler, without Solicitation and setting aside Several applicants appointed him Adjutant General of the State, which office he has so far filled very creditably."[28]

In a letter of 5 April 1853, James Keenan wrote "At the suggestion of the President, I have concluded to change my application for the Consulate at Glasgow, and will be satisfied with any Consulate equivalent to Glasgow." James Keenan was appointed U.S. Consul to Hong Kong on 24 May 1853 by President Franklin Pierce. He resigned the offices of register and recorder, and Adjutant General, then sailed for Hong Kong, China, in October 1853. He was confirmed by Congress 15 March 1854.[29]

James Keenan was at Hong Kong reportedly awaiting replacement by William B. Reed in January of 1858 as a result of the British attack at Canton, China. On 18 January 1858, Edward J. Keenan wrote to President James Buchanan about his brother James Keenan, "Some time ago the charge was made against him before the State Department, that he had improperly interfered in and aided an attack by British forces upon the City of Canton. ..... I entertain no doubt however, from facts placed in my possession that upon my brother's arrival, he will be able to explain away and totally refute the charge."[30]

He was with the United States Marines when the English took Canton, China. He "... accompanied Commodore Perry on his memorable expedition to open the Japanese ports to American commerce."[31]

In June of 1858, James Keenan bought The Greensburg Democrat from his brother Edward J. Keenan but left the paper under the management of his brothers Edward and William.

A letter from American ship captains to President Abraham Lincoln written on 1 February 1861 stated "The Undersigned American Shipmasters trading in the Chinese Waters fearing as consequent upon a change of administration, that Gen. James Keenan our Consul at this port, may be removed from Office, would respectfully represent to you our opinion that, in his Official Capacity during the last eight years, he has represented and protected our Maritime interests in a most efficient manner and we feel that should he be superceded, our Commercial Marine will suffer by the change. Therefore irrespective of political opinions we most earnestly desire his continuance as Consul at this port."[32]

James Keenan served at Hong Kong until 22 January 1862, when he sailed with Capt. Charles Randlett, Jr., in the ship Surprise for the United States. James Keenan, his wife, son John Keenan and an unnamed daughter (assumed to be Isabella Keenan), arrived in New York from Hong Kong on 16/17 May 1862. He was replaced by Horace Congar, who was appointed 10 August 1861.[33]   

He was married to Elizabeth Barclay in 1857. She was born about 1832 and died on 21 December 1864. The notice of her death published in the Pennsylvania Argus reads "On the 21st of December, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Keenan, widow of General James Keenan and daughter of John Y. Barclay, dec'd, age 32 years." She was the daughter of John Young Barclay and Isabella Johnston, the sister of William Freame Johnston, who became governor of Pennsylvania in September 1848. John Y. Barclay was admitted to the Westmoreland County Bar in the November Term of 1819. Records for St. Clair Cemetery in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, list the following information: John Y. Barclay, died 18 February 1841, aged 42; his wife Isabella, died 4 February 1841, aged 41.[34]

According to the publication Lives of the Governors of Pennsylvania, William Freame Johnston was the son of Alexander Johnston (born about July 1772, Co. Fermanagh, Ireland, emigrated to the United States in 1796) and Elizabeth Freame (born about November 1781, Franklin Co., Pennsylvania).[35]

Elizabeth Barclay left her jewelry and trinkets to her sisters Hetty T. Barclay and Sarah S. Baughman. Wilson Baughman (assumed to be the husband of Sarah S. Baughman) was appointed executor of her estate. Her will was witnessed by her brother-in-law E. J. Keenan and Thomas J. Barclay (her brother?).[36]

26.iJames5 Keenan His mother, Elizabeth Barclay, gave her gold watch to him at her death.[37]
27.iiJohn Barclay Keenan Based upon his age at marriage, he was born about 1859. At age 28, he was married to Eleanor Charollete Woods (born about 1859, daughter of James and Mary J. Woods) on 16 June 1887 at Greensburg by James Power Smith. His mother, Elizabeth Barclay, gave his father's gold watch to him at her death.[38]
28.iiiIsabella Keenan Her mother, Elizabeth Barclay, gave her the family silverware in her will.[39]

 

8. Thomas Johnston4 Keenan (James3, Thomas2, James1) He was born 24 November 1824 at Youngstown, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. He "... died at his home in Pittsburgh, Pa., January 9, 1900, and was buried in Highwood cemetery, Allegheny, Pa." An obituary notice in The Tribune Herald of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, read "Thomas J. Keenan, Sr., one of the oldest members of the Pittsburg bar, died Tuesday night, aged 76 years. He was born at Youngstown, this county. He studied law with W. F. Johnston, afterward governor of Pennsylvania."[40]

"He was educated at Indiana and Greensburg academies, and Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa." His father willed his son $5.00, saying that he had "... already expended large sums of money in their mainentance and education."[41]

"He studied law with Samuel F. Johnston at Kittanning, Pa., Joseph H. Kuhns at Greensburg, and Charles Shaler at Pittsburgh; was admitted to the bar at Greensburg, August 20, 1845, and practiced there about one year, then went to Europe with his uncle, Hugh Keenan, as European and American law agent, and was engaged with him for seven years, conducting law business between Europe and America, crossing the Atlantic ocean eighteen times." In his letter of 10 March 1851 to Secretary of State Daniel Webster, Thomas J. Keenan wrote that his uncle Hugh Keenan "At length being weary of traveling he associated me with him to do that part of the business, ..." He was admitted to the Westmoreland County bar at the Quarter Sessions Court in the August Term, 1845. On 8 July 1850 he was admitted to the Allegheny County bar. "He founded the Legal Journal in 1853, and was prothonotary of the Supreme Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania for fifteen years, from 1858 to 1873. ... He was a thorough a gentleman as ever lived, and all leading cases were as familiar to him as the multiplication table." In 1879 an advertisment read "Thos. J. Keenan, Attorney at Law, (Ex-Prothonotary of the Supreme Court,) No. 91 Grant Street, Pittsburg, PA. N.B. - Particular attention given to the preparation and authentication of documents for use in the British Dominion."[42]

Thomas J. Keenan was issued passport 8062 on 30 June 1848. In the passport register, he was described as follows: age 24, stature 5 feet 9 inches, forehead rather low, eyes gray, nose ordinary, mouth medium, chin small, hair light brown, complexion fair, face oval. Pictures of him exist in The Twentieth Century Bench and Bar of Pennsylvania and Notable Men of Pittsburgh and Vicinity.[43]   

He was reported to have been the editor of the Pittsburgh Daily Union when he married Sophia Latimer Gaskill of Cooper's Point, New Jersey, on 4 June 1856. She was born in 1837, died in 1925 and was buried in Highwood Cemetery, Allegheny (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania. Her parents were Charles Cooper Gaskell and Eliza Weaver. [44]

29.iAnna Gaskell5 Keenan born in 1857, died 1882, buried in Highwood Cemetery, Allegheny, PA.
30.iiSophie Gaskell Keenan born in 1861, died 1946, buried in Highwood Cemetery, Allegheny, PA.
+31.iiiThomas Johnston Keenan born in 1859, died 1927, buried in Highwood Cemetery, Allegheny, PA.
32.ivAlexander Keenan born about 28 December 1872, died "At the residence of his parents, on Woods Run Avenue, Tenth Ward, Allegheny City, on Thursday Nov. 18, 1880, at 2pm of scarlet fever, Alexander, son of Thomas J. and Sophie I. Keenan, aged 7 yrs, 10 mo, 20 days." Buried in Highwood Cemetery, Allegheny, PA.
33.vCharles Keenan was at the Isle of Pines, Cuba, supervising the cutting of marble and the building of his brother Thomas' new home on the island in January 1910.[45]
34.viDaughter, she married Dr. A. C. Pettit. She and her husband were spending a month on the Isle of Pines, Cuba, in January 1910.[46]

   

9. Isabella3 Keenan (James3, Thomas2, James1) Probably born before 1824, this is based upon the assumption that she was already 21 when her father wrote his will in 1845 leaving her $5.00 to be paid at age 25.[47]

It is believed that Isabella Keenan married James C. Clarke. This is based on the report that her brother James' body was returned to Pennsylvania in May 1862 by his brother-in-law James C. Clarke and the report that Mary Clarke was the daughter of James C. Clarke and Isabella Keenan. The Jennie Clarke mentioned as James C. Clarke's daughter in the will of Isabella (Johnston) Keenan is most likely the daughter of James Clarke and Isabella Keenan, and the granddaughter of Isabella (Johnston) Keenan.[48]

James C. Clarke served as the State Senator from the Westmoreland Senatorial District for six years. The biographical information about him reads as follows: "James C. Clarke, 1823-1893, will be remembered a financier and general businessman. He was born in Laughlinstown, and was graduated from Jefferson College in 1843, afterward reading law with Justice Richard Coulter. In his earlier years he was attorney for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and from 1875 to 1879 was a member of the Pennsylvania Senate." He is buried in lot 91, section U of the St. Clair Cemetery in Greensburg, PA.[49]

35.iJennie5 Clarke She received four shares of Pennsylvania Railroad stock from Isabella Keenan (her grandmother).[50]
+36.iiMary Clarke

 

11. Alexander4 Keenan (James3, Thomas2, James1) His father's 1845 will left him "... ten acres of land more or less with the flouring-mill, saw-mill and the heraditaments and apperitenances thereunto belonging ... and one acre adjoining the foregoing tract ... the plot of ground whereon the mill dam is erected; together with all ways, waters, water-courses ... subject to the payment of Three Hundred dollars to my son Edward Keenan." His father's friends, William T. Baldrige, Esquire, and James Toner, Jr., were selected to be the guardians of Alexander Keenan.[51]

Alexander had at least two daughters, the eldest of which was Isabella Keenan. His two daughters were each left two shares of Pennsylvania Railroad Stock from his mother's estate.[52]

37.iIsabella5 Keenan
38.iiunknown daughter

   

12. Rosanna4 (Rosannah) Keenan (James3, Thomas2, James1) She was probably born before 1825. This is based upon the assumption that she was at least 20 years of age in 1845, when her fathers will (written in 1845) noted that she was married to Judah Case of Youngstown and that her eldest son was John Case. Her father bequeathed her the sum of $200.00. Her father also gave her "... our house and lot, fronting on the Turnpike-road in the Borough of Youngstown, adjoining property of Mrs. Rosannan Hanlin [James Keenan's sister, Rosanna's Keenan's aunt], and formerly owned by Mr. Patric McGirr, which I hereby devise and bequath to my daughter Mrs. Rosanna Case and her heirs.[53]

39.iJohn5 Case born before August 1845.

 

13. John Barclay4 Keenan (James3, Thomas2, James1) He was born on 12 February 1832 at Youngstown, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. He was killed at the battle of Spottsylvania Courthouse on 8 May 1864.[54]

His father's 1845 will gave him $200 at the age of 21. He worked as a hotel keeper at Youngstown prior to the Civil War.[55]

John Barclay Keenan organized and was the Captain of Company K, Eleventh Pennsylvannia Volunteer Infantry which was recruited at Youngstown, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvannia. He was wounded in the shoulder at Thoroughfare Gap at the Second Battle of Bull Run. He was captured 31 August 1862 and promoted to Major on 1 September 1862. The injury to his right shoulder was caused "... by a minnie-ball which deprived him of all use of his right arm as long as he lived."[56]   

He married Lucy Anne West on 9 October 1853 in a civil ceremony at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Robert West, who kept "one of the early hostelries of Youngstown."[57]

Five children are known. The children were probably all born in Youngstown, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania.

40.iJames5 Keenan born 1 November 1855.
+41.iiEdward W. Keenan born 19 August 1857.
42.iiiJohn Keenan
43.ivFrank B. Keenan born 29 June 1861, worked as a clerk at the Fisher House.
44.vMary Emma Keenan born 14 July 1863, married H. A. Donnelly of Latrobe.
