About John Kenyon, of Kings Town
FamilySearch.com at # LHC8-Y6V for Sir Christopher Kenyon gives the pedigree as we have it on Geni here. Going up the line it goes all the way up through Matthew Kenyon b1470 to Sir Jordan de Kenyon and then down from Sir Christopher as follows: John Kenyon 1565-1620 m .Maria, William 1587-1670, then skips the next Christopher 1615-1702, then to John Kenyon 1636 Accrington. William is far more likely to be John's grandfather and then Christopher Kenyon of Lancashire, England 1615-1702 is given as the father of John Kenyon born 1636 or 1638. Christopher married Jenet Duxbury bc1610. Christopher and Jenet had sons Ralph Kenyon b1634 who remained in Accrington, Lancashire and son John born between 1636 and 1638.
John is not part of the Glodwick, Lancashire family and not related to James Kenyon, of Glodwick.
Please do not merge him with men of the same name that happen to be from Lancashire, as there were several.
John Kenyon was married in Westerly before 1657. Sons John and James.
