* * * * *

The Perry County history book says that John Keen had a son named Johnson who married Jane Pitchford. He was not mentioned in his father's probate records in 1877 so likely died before then and did not have heirs. On the other hand, there is a death for a Johnson Keene, age 81, in Perry County in 1935. If you know more about Johnson, please contact me.
