"Keeney, not Kenney, is the original family name. Reuben Kenney IIchanged it without legal authority because the pronunciation suited himbetter. The name was changed sometime between 1797 and 1829. This isestablished by the dates on the tombstones of Reuben I and his wife,Jemima. Reuben I died Feb. 26, 1797, and his last name appears as'KEENEY', his wife Jemima, died June 9, 1829, and her name appears as"KENNEY'." - Pollard - "Are We Related?" - page 10
