Death*	James died before 19 June 1880. I speculate that James died before the 1880 census of this date. He would have been only 13 yo and normally would have been living with his parents. He is missing but siblings on both sides are enumerated.2
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 6 May 2019 re too many James Cravens. Unfortunately there were a great many James Cravens in Kentucky born within a year or two of 1867. I checked all those listed with Find A Grave memorials and all of them show different parents. Where this James went after the 1870 census is currently unknown.

Census1900*	Susan and Benjamin appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Mag. Dist. 6, Christian Co., Kentucky, at Lafayette, enumerated 12 June 1900, as 30 yo Jefferson & 24 yo Susan Keeny. Jeff's 23 yo sister Fannie Keeny was listed as living with them.4
Census1910	Susan and Benjamin appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Mag. Dist. 6, Trigg Co., Kentucky, at Canton Rd., enumerated 13 May 1910, as 40 yo Jeff & 34 yo Susan Keeney. I suspect sloppy enumerator here and that this is actually Christian County. In 1900 they were in MD6 Christian. In 1930 again MD6 Christian. Furthermore they lived on Canton Rd in 1910 and again in 1930. I find no evidence of a border change in these two counties between '10 and '30.5
CensusLead*	A person who might be Susan appeared on the 1920 census in 47 yo at Herndon, Christian Co., Kentucky, Ben F Keeney. The problems with this enumeration are, a) Ben is 3 yrs too young while his other four censuses are perfect, b) Susan is 1-2 yrs too young, c) there's a 'son' 11 yo Robert Keeney. There's no son Robert in the 1910. Perhaps this is the 32 yo nephew Robert Barnes from the 1930 census.6
