Attention: Wife (Esther Janes McKeown) is also his cousin.
He is married to Esther Janes McKeown.
Nine children, the second died at about age 10, the fourth, fifth andninth died in infancy. However, page 74 of "Captain Bill", Book Two,1985, by Robert J. Stevens, gives a list of 10 children, in order ofbirth. The fifth is N.A. McKeown, the sixth is Elizabeth McKeown, andthe eighth is Nannie McKeown. Since it is already known that Nancy AnnElizabeth McKeown who married William Henry Simpson was commonly known as"Nannie" McKeown, I am assuming that N. A. McKeown, the fifth child onthe list, can be deleted as an error. This means that Elizabeth becomesthe fifth child, who died in infancy, explaining why the name wasavailable for reuse with the seventh child, Nancy Ann Elizabeth. Asconfirmation, page 74 says that Elizabeth and the last child died ininfancy, the sixth and tenth children on the list of 10 children.
They got married on July 23, 1855, he was 20 years old.Source 1
