Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kinyon-24

It has been proven that the John Kenyon of Glodick (Oldham) and the John Kenyon of Westerly were not the same person. Thus, Sarah of Glodwick is not his daughter. One researcher, Leo Garman, points out that there is a problem with the date of Sarah's baptism in England occurring after John Kenyon was supposed to be in Rhode Island. If this is so, then is the John who married Anna in England the same as the John in Rhode Island? He, also, raises questions about the marriage of Sarah to John Webster because of the possible mis-interpretation of "son-in-law" in an early deed. The John Webster marriage comes from this "son-in-law" deed, but "son-in-law" at the time was synonymous with "stepson."[1]
