SENEY Family
Senet ~ Seeney ~ Seany ~ Ceney



Senet was the original spelling used by family in France, and became Seney while family spent time in England before coming to America. Settled in Church Hill, Queen Ann's County, Maryland. The Family were French Protestants (Huguenots) member's of the Reformed Church of France who were forced to flee from pursecution after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 by Henry XIV. They joined the thousands of Huguenots welcomed to settle in England, Netherlands, Germany, Ireland and Canada. Later some members immigrated to America from England in 1727.
