William Kinne (Keney, Keeney), b. 1601 Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England. Died 1675 New London, Conn. First record is his admission to church 31 March 1646. In 1650 William joined others in settling on a 6 - acre lot in what became New London. New London records of 1662 list William age 61 and his wife Agnes as age 63. William became a deputy in 1662. He must have had a good turoring as he translated Amish and Anabaptist materials for his religious community. William married in 1627, Agnes (Anne) Douglas of Suffolk, England. Agnes was born c. 1599 in Gloucester, the daughter of William Douglas. Few descendants of this couple carried on the Kinne (Keeney) name as they had only one son.

John Kinne (Keeney) b. 1632 d. 3 Feb 1716 Niantic, Conn. Res. on 700 acre Keeney (probably Kinne) farm. Became freeman in 1670.

John had three other wives before Naomi - Sarah Douglas (married 1661), Elizabeth Culver (1689/90) and Elizabeth Latham (1694).
