Lois - I believe that we have a connection, and would be thrilled to hear more about your Thomas Kaneen. I have a Thomas Kaneen who married Elizabeth Cleator December 25th 1814. Both were born and married in Andreas. They had four children:

Jonathon Kaneen b. Oct 06, 1816 in Douglas
Elizabeth Kaneen b. Dec 23 1814
Thomas Kaneen b. 1819
James Kaneen b. 1823

I have additional information about Jonathon Kaneen and his decendents, and can be reached at ductt8p at yahoo dot com
