I am also interested in finding the descendants of Newton Keene. I have traced 
my ancestry to Napoleon Bonaparte Keene, born in 1822 in Rodney, MS and have 
been able to find nothing prior to him.  However, he did have one son by the 
name of Newton B. Keene.  It made me hope that we might be able to connect 
the Newton Keene from 1725 in Virginia to the Keenes in Mississippi. 

I also noted that this Newton Keene was a Captain.  My Keenes were in the 
shipping and cotton brokers' business and ended up in New Orleans when the 
Mississippi River changed it's course away from Rodney, MS so that is another 
connection that might prove beneficial.  

If you have any information on Newton's descendants, I would be interested in 
chasing them...

Thank you.
