There's an awful lot of information flying around here now but there is this:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MFLV-MC5

The JW Kanney/Kenney gave a place of birth Botetourt and father Charles.

This 1870 image has a James 4 yrs with father Charles Kenney. James' age fits with the marriage age.

Now whether these are linked to Grover - I have no idea!

Thanks Ladyhawk, this does sound familiar. He was married to Catherine in Batesville. But this is where my research ended at his gravesite. I can't seem to get further back than him, other than I've heard his father was named Patrick.

Hi,

Been following this one, how about this in 1870.

Charles Kinney age 5 born New York with wait for it......, parents Patrick & Bridget Kinney both born in Ireland!

Here's a link to it: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M8KF-WTS

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Ok, so if Charles wasn't born in Ireland like the gravestone says, at least his parents were. I may begin looking in Ireland for a different surname and see that helps any. Thanks Ladyhawk.
