Which is it? Both spellings are used in the article. —Kenyon (t·c) 03:37, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's Kearny. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.102.19.247 (talk) 19:41, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can find both spellings in contemporary sources (as the article notes), including documents signed by Kearny/Kearney himself. Different spellings of names is not uncommon in 19th-century documents. WCCasey (talk) 07:59, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article for Philip Kearney lists Stephen W. Kearny as Philip's uncle. It also lists "Philip Kearny, Sr., and Sarah Watts" as Philip's parents. This article lists "Philip Kearny and Susanna Watts" as Stephen's parents. I want to confirm that these details are accurate do to the similarities in parents names...

If the details are accurate, they both have fathers named Philip, but it's not the same person as that would make them brothers, not uncle/nephew. Though it's possible that they both had father's named Philip, that would make Philip Kearny, Sr. really be (at least) Philip Kearney II since his brother's (, aka Stephen's,) father (and therefore Philip's father) is also Philip, thus three Philip's, not two. That would just mean an error in title. This wouldn't be too big a deal, but the real kicker is that it would mean both Philip's father and grandfather were married to women named "S. Watts". That too is possible, but the general feeling I get here is that one of these two articles isn't quite right.

I have made some adjustments to the Kearny family lineage in the article, I think it's acurate now? Aedwardmoch (talk) 03:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)AedwardmochAedwardmoch (talk) 03:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article states that maternal grandparents are Robert Watts and Mary Alexander. I can't find anything to confirm this -- rather that they are his maternal uncle and aunt. Lmeeth (talk) 02:30, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The street named for him in San Francisco is pronounced with a long "e", the mesa in San Diego whith a short one. The town in New Jersey is pronounced "Karny".

The article seems to be incomplete. It states "at the end of the war," without saying what war. War of 1812???

Let me add that here, in New Jersey, the pronuciation of this town is like "car - knee".

1 The current article states, "Kearny is the namesake of Kearny, Arizona and Kearney, Nebraska"; however, shouldn't it also be mentioned that he is the namesake of Kearny, New Jersey, a town across the river from his place of birth, Newark, NJ??? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kearny,_New_Jersey

2 In the U S Capitol in Washington, statuary hall holds life-size statues of prominent citizens. Each state may send only two statues, and once submitted, may not be recalled. New Jersey sent a statue of this same Philip Kearny, for his role in the Mexican American War and westard expansion of the U S.

3 In fact, shouldn't the article discuss Kearny's critical role in fulfilling American's concept of Manifest Destiny -- that the U S was destined to stretch eventually from the Atlantic to Pacific Oceans???

Philip Kearny is a quite different person. Fatidiot1234 (talk) 18:13, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
