1824 SENEY SOLOMON Mac Kinac County MI 592 Petitioners MI Early Census Index MIS2a1111988
1824 SENEY SOLOMON Michillimackinac MI No Township Given MI Early Census Index First born whom we have records in America is Solomon SENEY. His name is in the St.
Luke's Parish Church Register, Church Hill, Queen Ann's County, Maryland. Also his
Last Will and Testament: Will of Solomon SENEY of Queen Ann's County and Province of
Maryland, 7th September, 1761.
The SENEY branch of our family were French Protestants (Huguenots), members of the Reformed Church of France who were forced to flee their native country because of religious war, massacre, and persecution. They arrived in America via way of England, settling in Queens Annes Co., MD during the later part of the seventeenth century.

The original French spelling of the SENEY name was Senet - pronounced Senay. Living among English speaking people, the letter y became a substitute for the t, afterwich the sound of a quickly gave place to the letter e in the pronounciation. Thus for the past nearly 300 years the name SENEY has been the English-American counterpart of the French name Senet.

Our first ancestor bearing the SENEY name of whom we have record was Solomon SENEY whose name is recorded in the St. Luke's Parish Church register, Church Hill, Queen Annes Co., MD.
