Looking for info on THIS Katherine (or Catherine) Conley ...
Trying to find Keefe connections ...
1900 census, Scott County, KY
Katherine Conley (Head of house) age 59, b. IRE
Adaline Way (dau) age 25, b. KY
Cassie Keefe (gdau) age 6, b. KY
Robt Wm Keefe (gson) age 2, b. KY
I checked my notes from discussions w/ my mother concerning my ggreatgrandparents on the Vance side and she said, "Robert's parents were John Vance and Katherine Conley (from this I had assumed Conley was maiden name), who later married a Keefe". I found Katherine Conley in 1900 census with a daughter Adeline Way in her household, and two grandchildren w/ last name Keefe (so mother was only partially correct ... it was Adeline who had married the Keefe).
When my father visited northern KY in 1930s, his journal mentions visiting relatives in Cincinatti OH.
Whether Conley was a maiden name she went back to using after losing her Vance husband following a divorce or his death, I have no idea.
ANY INFORMATION is welcome.
