Daniel died Aug 29, 1871, Vestel, Broome, NY. Abigail: Browne calls her and her parents Kinney. Another genealogy devoted primarily to Thomas does not list her as daughter. She is obviously really Keeney. Another genealogy has her as the daughter of Thomas Keeney and Hannah Soule.
146. ii Susanna Jenks born Dec 10, 1795, Cheshire MA, married c. 1814, Eli Blackman, born Nov 11, 1784, Peru, MA, (son of Abraham Blackman and Sarah A.

Eli: They resided in Rawson Hollow, NY, which was settled by Lyman Rawson and the Blackman families from Peru, MA. This later became Caroline, Tompkins Co., NY. One genealogy calls her (?)

Annis: AE Jenks statements call her Annis Allen Brown, which conforms to Tioga Genealog. Soc. materials sent us, although they have her father as Abraham Brown (as listed in 1820 Berkshire NY census).

Amy died Dec 22, 1881. David: Amy was second wife. Browne book indicates that Amy and David had no children. Since Amy was b. 1806, she would have been 39 at time of Polly Aldrich's death/ A LDS file gives Davids father as Levi Aldrich and mother as Abigail Hunt.
