William Kehoe (August 21, 1842 – December 29, 1929) was an Irish businessman who emigrated to Savannah, Georgia, where he became a successful iron founder.

His family emigrated to the United States in 1851, arriving in Savannah, Georgia, on February 28,[1] and settling in the Old Fort neighborhood, an Irish enclave in the city.

[4] On November 26, 1868, seven months after the death of his mother, he married Savannah native Anne Flood,[2] with whom he had ten children.

[3] By 1873, a foundry now known as Phoenix Iron Works had been built at today's 660 East Broughton Street, in the Trustees' Garden,[5] in Savannah.

[1] Four years later, Monahan sold the foundry to Thomas Mulligan and set up a new location, a few hundred feet away, called Phoenix Architectural Works.

[6] Over the next fifty years, Kehoe grew one of the best-equipped marine engineering stores on the South Atlantic coast.

(It is not known where infant Annie was buried, and Kehoe's son, Daniel, was interred in Savannah's Greenwich Cemetery upon his death in 1954.)
