Notes - Owen McKeever was initially believed to be the third of eleven children born to Hugh McKeever and Mary Quinn, born in 1831. However, a baptismal record was located at Old St. Joseph’s Church in Philadelphia, which indicates that he was born on January 10, 1827, and baptized on January 20, 1827. He returned to Ireland with his parents, and would have been twelve years old when his parents, once again, crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1839 to settle in Newton, Prince Edward Island.
Like the other members of the family, Owen would have been an active member of the settlement clearing and development.
When his father died in 1857, he was provided with Farm Number Three. The 1880 Meacham Atlas shows he had two properties. One of these properties in the Atlas had a building located on it. This first property is the farm that later would be inherited by Annie Kelly McCarville. The second property is the field on the southwest side of the crossroads.
Owen died in 1883. Owen is buried beside his father’s close friend, Bernard McCourt, in St. Malachy’s Cemetery in Kinkora.
