This article is very likely talking about the family of Johnson Wilson Kenyon. 

In 1870, J. W. Kinyon was the West Davenport druggist. Samuel Kinyon was a shoemaker.  “Kinyon and Son” were listed as a “Boot and shoe manufactory” in the 1870 federal census.  Possibly Samuel was the “son” in the business name since his own son, James, was only eleven at the time.  Nearby were James Evans, blacksmith, and across Church Street his son Silas, the rake maker.  Four places away lived Richard White, a harness maker.  Two other shoemakers were Joseph N. Miller and V. I. Hoke.  West Davenport also had a cooper, Orrin Wardwell, and a carpenter by the name of William C. Beach. source


In the article above, it is very likely that Samuel Kinyon is the father, J.W. Kinyon is the oldest son Johnson Wilson Kenyon, and James R. Kenyon is the youngest son.
