In 1650 William joined others in settling on a 6 - acre lot in what became New London. New London records of 1662 list William age 61 and his wife Agnes as age 63. William became a deputy in 1662. He must have had a good turoring as he translated Amish and Anabaptist materials for his religious community. William married in 1627, Agnes (Anne) Douglas of Suffolk, England. Agnes was born c. 1599 in Gloucester, the daughter of William Douglas. Few descendants of this couple carried on the Kinne (Keeney) name as they had only one son.
