BIOGRAPHY
The McKeeman Family by Jane Hunter Hodgson
Robert Benjamin McKeeman was the yountest of 12 children born to David C.
McKeeman and Margaret Ann McConahey McKeeman. David was born in County Antrim
in Ireland on May 21, 1821. Margaret was born in the same Irish county near
Bally o' Glaugh on September 9, 1829. The couple was married in Ireland and
came to the United States sometime between 1850 and 1851.
The marriage of David and Peggy Ann took place in Deffrick, County Antrim on
the eighth of February 1850.
Records of passage have not been located but it is assumed that the young
couple came by way of New York because they first settled in the area of
Albany.
While in Albany, New York, John was born on May 1, 1852; Maria Catharine was
born on July 20, 1853; Margaret was born in 1855; and Jennie was born on
January 24, 1856.
It was probably between these births that the family relocated to a farm
near
Hoagland, Indiana. David was a member of the republican party and the
Presbyterian church.
James was born on November 30, 1860; Nancy was born in 1862; William F. was
bron on the 27th of March, 1863; Isobel was born March 13, 1865; Alexander was
born on April 7, 1867; Ellen was born on March 15, 1869; David was born on
February 12, 1871; and Robert Benjamin was born February 27, 1874, the
final of
12 children. Margaret was 45 years of age when the last child was born, and
David was 53. David died just two years later, but Margaret lived for another
20 years.

DAVID AND MARGARET (MCCONAHEY) MCKEEMAN
by Maryellen Larimore Hower
David was born in Northern Ireland, 21 May 1821, son of William McKeeman. He
married Margaret Ann (Peggy) McConachy, daughter of John McConachy, 8 February
1850 at Croaghmore Presbyterian Church, Ballintoy Parish, County Antrim. The
marriage record shows David's occupation as farmer and his residence as
Ballyoglough. Margaret, born 9 September 1829, was a resident of Deffrick.
Both their fathers were farmers. Margaret's father, John, was present at the
marriage. David was literate, as he signed the certificate. As was usual in
those years in Ireland, daughters were not educated and Margaret signed with
her mark, X.
Research into available passenger lists has not shown when David and Margaret
came to America. Their first child was born April 1851 in New York, according
to the 1870 Indiana Census record. Immigration must have been between Feb
1850
and April 1851. They lived in the Albany, New York area for several years
before migrating to Indiana.
It can be assumed that they came to Indiana because Margaret's brother and two
sisters had already settled in the Hoagland area by that time. Sisters Nancy
Kerr had immigrated to America in 1843 and Isobel English in 1847. David and
Margaret came to Indiana between 1853 and 1861. The 1870 Indiana Census lists
their son, John, as born in New York and the rest of the children born in
Indiana. The 1880 Census states (John dead and Catherine married) Margaret
and
Jennie as born in New York.
How they traveled to Indiana can only be assumed. As they lived in New York,
they could have gone by river and canal to Lake Ontario, thru Lake Erie to
Toledo, then by river and Wabash & Erie Canal to Fort Wayne. If not by the
Canal, then by wagon. If they came later, they could have traveled by
railroad.
They purchased land near Hoagland on arrival, and sold 40 acres to Conrad
Miller in 1864. The 1875 Allen County Atlas shows they owned 160 acres.
James
and Isobel (McConahey) English owned 189 acres west of them. Hugh and Nancy
(McConahey) Kerr owned 77 acres, southwest of them. John McConahey owned 116
acres immediately south of Hoagland.
David and Margaret's oldest child, John, born April 1851, died by drowning 23
March 1876. He is buried IOOF Cemetery, New Haven, Indiana. On 24 May 1876,
two months after John's death, David McKeeman died. He is buried IOOF
Cemetery, New Haven, Ind. Margaret was left with 10 children at home, the
youngest, Robert only 2 years old.
The 1880 Indiana Census states 9 children still at home. James, 17 years old,
William, 15 years old and Alexander, 12 years old worked on the farm. Also
listed is Stephan McConaha, laborer, age 25, born Ohio, parents born Ireland
and Ohio. Stephan must have been Margaret's nephew, son of John McConahey.
David died intestate and in 1882, the heirs applied to the Allen County
Circuit
Court for permission to sell land of value $1700 to pay debts of the estate.
At that time there were 7 minor children.
Margaret died 9 September 1894. She is buried IOOF Cemetery, New Haven,
Indiana. Her will was probated 20 March 1896.
It is probable that Gaelic was spoken in the home. Margaret Kerr, daughter of
Nancy McConahey Kerr, and neice of Margaret McKeeman, was not allowed to
attend
school in Hoagland in 1851 until she could speak English.

Dr. D.J. Mercer came to Poe in 1902 and here established himself in the practice of his profession. He has built up an extensive following in the community and stands well among his fellows throughout the county. He is an Allen county product, born in Madison township on December 13, 1878, son of Robert and Nancy (McKeeman) Mercer, themselves natives of Allen county and among the representative people of their community. Doctor Mercer was one of five children--three sons and two daughters, one of the daughters being deceased. he was educated in the schools of Madison township, and following his high school training entered Fort Wayne Medical School, from which he was graduated with the class of 1901. The young M.D. practiced his profession at Helmer one year and then came to Poe, where he has since been established. He is progressive in his work and has made a practice of attending Chicago clinics whenever possible, so that he has kept well abreast of the
times in a professional way. Doctor Mercer was married on November 14, 1901, to Miss Nettie B. Fry, daughter of Jacob Fry, of Fort Wayne, Allen county, and they have three children--Charles Robert, David John and Harriet Elizabeth. The doctor is a Scottish Rite Mason and is affiliated with various Fort Wayne bodies of the order.
