      ------------------------------------------------
 
I am especially interested in KEENEY, rooted in Alexander Keeney in
Wethersfield CT around 1650.I have Richard KEENEY 1732-25 Dec 1831;
Joseph KEENEY about 1733-Aug 1816.

GENEALOGY                      -------------------------------
DL> my great-grandmother, Harriet HOLLISTER, born November
DL>1865, died 10 Jun 1916 in Saginaw Michigan.  She married Charles
DL> her parents may have been Myron
DL>HOLLISTER, born 1813 in NY and Eliza ???, born in 1829 in England.  He

My gg grandmother was Onor Hollister (1780-1837) d/o Phoebe Goodrich and
Aron Hollister. No dates on either - other children were Anson Cynthia
Jason Prudence Lodarrich and Phoebe.  Onor married KEENEY and a son,
Julius (my g grandfather) moved from the Rome NY area to near Rockford
IL, my grandfather KEENEY from IL to Iowa.  The KEENEY line starts
around 1650 in Glastonbury CT (Hartford).

I have Stiles' "History of Ancient Wethersfield" with a little KEENEY,
some amount of HOLLISTER and a lot of GOODRICH, but I'm unable to verify
the exact connection to the HOLLISTER-GOODRICH there. I find a Phoebe
Goodrich of about the correct age, but too young in the book to show her
husband.  The most recent Hollister in this book is Roswell (1848-1853)
but the Hollister line goes back in to 1600s in CT.  I can't trace their
migration from CT, but I do know the Keeney migration was CT to Rome NY.
Branches of Keeney went from Rome to a) western NY, b) MI, c) IL.

Do you know where in NY your Myron Hollister came from?

I didn't find either Myron or Harriett in CT book - did see names like
Ebenezer Elisha Hannah Pamela.

More than willing to pursue this line with you.
