EARLY YEARS IN NORTHERN IRELAND:
By Phyllis (Dunn) Fulk, 1996, Pg175
"Covenanter Cemetery Families" |
ALEXANDER McKEOWN early years was spent in
Northern Ireland where he received his education, and
married a native Ireland girl ROSANNA "ROSE" GLASGOW;
born about 1800. Like so many others in Ireland,
they pushed westward to America. About 1823-4 they
bade farewell to their native land, (ROSE'S parents came
to Guernsey County, Ohio) and arrived in Belmont Co., Ohio.
ALEXANDER McKEOWN Sr. was a Weaver by trade,
and was active in politics with the Whig party. He was a
man of kindly disposition and of great strength of character,
and was respected by all. His wife ROSANNA
(GLASGOW) McKEOWN, was a widow for 34 years,
She was among those identified with charitable and other
beneficial objects, and rank among the people whose
presence does so much to make a community better and
happier.

Ferry. While at the latter place the regiment was captured,
but the members thereof were paroled, and WILLIAM H. McKEOWN

remained on the original homeplace until 1885, at the age
of 42 WILLIAM H. McKEOWN and family removed
to Sublett, [Adair Co.] Missouri, remaining their, however but three
years, when they returned to the home place, where they

The Freeport Newspaper,
Publication Date: September 2, 1890
Jim McKEOWN, dies at his home near Freeport, Ohio,
|
JAMES G. McKEOWN, aged 20 years. Interred at Londonderry September
3, funeral services conducted by Rev. J. W. TAYLOR. The deceased was the only son of
WILLIAM and NANCY McKEOWN.
Three years of his life were spent with his parents and sister near
Sublett, [Adair Co.] Missouri. The remainder of his life was passed at his home
near this place. He was absent from home when he was taken sick,
but returned home at once and consulted a physician. Continuing
to grow worse, two other physicians were summoned, but the skill
of all was baffled by his disease, which his physicians termed
"typho-malaria fever" He united with the United Presbyterian
Church at Londonderry in his 15th year. Young and of full of life's
youthful vigor and joys, but not a stranger to deep thought or
meditation upon serious things which evidenced upon his death
bed, by resigning himself to God, and assuring his parents that God
doeth all things for the best. His sufferings were severe, which he
bore with great patience. Being early made acquainted with the
Scriptures, they afforded him much consolation in time of trial. His
mind was clear, and his faith unshaken to the last. The family,
community and friends have experienced and inexpressible loss.
He had a large circle of friends, and was loved and respected by all
