SURNAMES: MCKEEVER, DEMPSEY, DOWD
I am researching my husband's family, MC KEEVER. Dan born in Oak Hill (Jackson Co) in 1854 and is buried in Elk Cemetery in McArthur with his wife CATHERINE DEMPSEY. He started the McArthur Brick Plant with several others. He had 1 son DANIEL A. MCKEEVER, the only living child of his marriage with Catherine. Dan possibly married an OLIVE DOWD in 1905? Any children? He moved to Perry Co to start another brick plant and it was destoyed in the 1913 flood. We know he was 1 of 8 brothers and 2 sisters. Parents are not known..anyone know? We believe he had a brother THOMAS MCKEEVER born in Berlin Crossroads and is buried in Keenan Cemetery in Jackson County. We have been told that were 3-5 McKEEVER brothers who immigrated from Ireland and that Dan and Thomas is one of the brothers' children. Does anyone know any of the siblings, parents, place of origin? Thomas died in 1887 and Dan in 1945. We are also interested in any personal stories someone might recall as well. E-mail or 607 S.12th St Coshocton Ohio 43812.
