     James Kenyon was born in 1633 at Droylsden, Manchester, England. He married Ester Smith on 2 May 1654 at Parish Church, Oldham, Lancashire, England. James Kenyon died in 1732 at South Kingstown, Washington County, RI.

     In the record of marriage of James KENYON (I) it is stated that he was a linen weaver at the time of his marriage and resided in Droylsden in the parish of Manchester. The record also states that his wife was a spinster, daughter of John Smith within Glodwick, in the parish of Oldham, and that both James KENYON (I) and his wife were about the age of one and twenty years at the date of their marriage. All recorded births of his children show him as a resident of Glodwick after his marriage. There is no record of his death in RI. The dates of birth and names of his children and grandchildren conclusively prove his identity.

Since there are many grandchildren in this family named Hannah, it is most likely that such was the name of the MUMFORD wife of John KENYON (1) and that the church record entry was of the old style spelling corresponding to the characteristic English pronunciation of Hannah with the silent
H'.

He may have come to RI from Mud River (now known as
Brookline') MA.

The elder son, John, may have followed or preceded the family to America by way of Virginia on the
Thomas and John' from England. The passenger list for the
Thomas and John' bound for Virginia, lists two Kenyons, Jo: and Geo:. The entry
Jo:' is believed to be that of John KENYON. No current knowledge is known regarding the
Geo:' entry by this author. Some family folklore is available that states that John and George were sent by the eldest son of the family, to find their riches, in the new land of America.¹

     John Kenyon was baptized on 26 December 1682 at Oldham, Lancashire, England. He married Elizabeth Remington, daughter of John Remington and Abigail Richmond, in July 1704 at South Kingstown, Washington County, RI. John Kenyon died in 1735 at Westerly, Washington County, RI. He was buried in Wood River Cemetery.

     John Kenyon was a bridge builder.
     He was admitted a freeman in 1712. He was deeded land by his father in South Kingstown in 1712, 170 acres. In 1726 he bought the land of John Handson in South Kingstown. In 1731, he sold the land bought of John Handson to Charles Dickinson. He deeded land in Westerly to his son, George, in 1734. In Westerly in 1732, he deeded land to his son, John. In 1734, in Westerly he deeded land to his son Sylvester. When his daughter, Elizabeth, married in 1735, it was entered on the town clerk's record that she was the daughter of "John, deceased." He left no record of administration. From the records on file in Richmond, RI, it appears that the youngest son, Benedict, was born in 1735, which leaves this year as the date of the father's death, unless Benedict was actually born somewhat earlier in the year and the father died in the latter part of 1734. His wife, Elizabeth, died on or before 1747, when her son, Thomas, was appointed administrator of her estate. The orphaned minors lived with their reHe was ad

Mrs. Edward (Susan Card) BARBER [grand-daughter of Mary KENYON (11b)] said John KENYON (11) and Elizabeth, his wife, were first buried side by side at the Wood River Church, English fashion, and when the church was repaired they were taken up and buried in the Wood River Cemetery (old part given by Enoch Card-the south part) southwest of the church in the southwest corner of the lot, on a knoll by themselves-near the present turnpike. This part of the Wood River Cemetery has deteriorated and their markers can no longer be seen.

(Told by Mrs. John L. KENYON (16243b))

Records in Charlestown indicate that John KENYON (11) was a bridge builder. A number of his grandchildren told Mrs. JLK that he was killed by a binder on a log while crossing Wood River.¹
