12363 James Kenyon 1816-1898 m. Amy Burdick 1817–1884


The back of this photo reads "James Kenyon" "Teds Gradfather" Horace J. Kenyon 1885-1957 was referred to as "Ted" This photo is James Kenyon b 19 Dec. 1816-1898. 12363 James Kenyon in the book American Kenyons And English Connections by Captain Howard Nathaniel Kenyon. I date the photo aprox 1887-1889 which would make him approx 71-73 yrs old.



James Kenyon is the son of James Kenyon and Susannah (Palmer) Kenyon. His father was an early pioneer of Delaware County, New York, settling there in 1804. His parents were in Kortright, Delaware County, New York on the 1820 Federal census, which is likely where James Kenyon was born in 1816. James later married Amy Burdick. They remained in New York, at least until 1859, where their children were born. They later moved to Troy, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, where they were residing on the 1880 census and he is listed as a farmer.
