Kenny in Roscommon

[William Kenny]

My GGF was John Joseph Kenny born in Roscommon, Erie on October 25, 1869. He emmigrated to Ashtabula, Ohio by 1895 latest and married Mary Doran (of Wexford)in 1898. Unfortunately all of the more specicic info concerning Kenny family in Ireland was lost to us...<p>Roscommon as residence was confirmed in marriage and death info...<p>It seems very clear that family was Hy Many (Ui Maine - O' Cionnaoith sept) and most likely located for most of history more south in Roscommon (or perhaps southeast Galway) but there may have been movement by the family during or after the great hunger so it's hard to say.<p>The one clue that I have is the components of the our Kenny Family Name Coat of Arms -<br>The Shield is: Gold and blue with a fleur de lis between three crescents.<br>The Crest is: A hand grasping a roll of parchment.<br>The motto is: "Vincit Veritas" - Truth conquers <br>(I've seen others with "Teneat Luceat Floreat" but don't know what the difference would be...?)<p>While most of this about the crest is perhaps typical for this sept, the unique thing about ours would appear to be that it has a "chief" banner at the top of the shield (below the helm). On the chief is a hound chasing a stag.<p>Does this sound familiar? I would appreciate any help and will respond / reciprocate to all...Thanks! Bill Kenny<p><p><p><p>
