She married Robert Orr HOBACK (b. 5/25/1820 in Shoals, Wayne Co., VA) on 9/17/1840 in Cabell County, VA. Robert Orr HOBACK was the son of John Franklin HOBACK and Mary Ann ORR.

QRYTEXT: I am researching the family of Mathias Keen (say 1715 - say 1798) and Sarah Harper (1717-say 1786). They had a son named Israel Keen. I suspect Israel was in Berkeley Co., Va (near Harpers Ferry) in the 1780s and maybe in Greenbrier Co., VA (later WV) in the 1790s. Two of his probable brothers, Joseph and Jonas settled in nearby Sullivan Co. TN. I am told that the 1820 Russell Co., census lists an Israel Keen Sr. and Israel Keen Jr. I am interested in any information that would help prove or disprove a connection to the above noted family
