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 land of John Handson in South Kingstown. In 1731, he sold the land bought of 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 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 were born somewhat early 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 relatives. Mrs. Edward (Susan Card) Barber [grand-dau. Mary Kenyon (11b)] said John Kenyon (11) and Elizabeth, his wife, were first buried by side of 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 southwest corner of the lot, on a knoll by themselves—near the present turnpike.—From Mrs. JLK. Records in Charlestown indicate that John Kenyon(ll) 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.
