Fannie Keeney is described on page 496 of the above Laidley book as follows: "James Brawley married Fannie Keeney, a native of the Valley, who survived her husband dying at the age of seventy-seven years. She was of Irish parentage and a Methodist in religion. Their children were as follows:

Henry T. (S.) Brawley - married Susan Snyder

Adeline Brawley - married Milton Snyder

Lucinda C. Brawley - married David C. Snyder

Aulene Samples refutes the information in the Laidley book and says that Frances Keeney married William S. Brawley on 4 June 1811 in Greenbrier County, WV. They came to Kanawha Valley about 1818 and settled on the South side of the Kanawha River.

Frances Keeney filed a pension claim for William's service in the War of 1812.
