Keane Baronets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Keane Baronetcy, of Cappoquin in the County of Waterford, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 1 August 1801 for John Keane, Member of Parliament for Youghal from 1801 to 1806 and from 1808 to 1818. He had earlier represented Bangor in the Irish House of Commons. The second Baronet was Whig Member of Parliament for Waterford between 1832 and 1835. The third Baronet served as High Sheriff of County Waterford in 1856 and the fourth Baronet in 1881. The fifth Baronet was a Senator of the Irish Free State and Governor of the Bank of Ireland.
Another member of the Keane family to gain distinction was the soldier John Keane, 1st Baron Keane, second son of the first Baronet. See the Baron Keane for more information on this branch of the family.
