It seems dubious that Jonathan Kenyon married Mary Gardiner or Gardner. Sourcing and reason seems to disprove it.

Jonathan would never be called "John Kenyon Jr." unless his given name was exactly the same as his father. Therefore, marriage sourcing showing a John Kenyon Jr. marrying Mary Gardiner should come to exist to this person-profile page.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kenyon-53 wrongly conflates the two Kenyons into one person. It doesn't state a marriage source with Mary Gardiner.

If one want's to believe that Jonathan married Sarah Kenyon and Mary Kenyon , superb sourcing must prove that called both Jonathan and John Jr. One must also explain him marrying Sarah c. 1725 then divorced to marry Mary Gardiner in 1726.

Wikitree is showing Mary Gardiner marriage in 1748, not 1726

Частный профиль - you’re keeping me busy, and there has been research on the Kenyon family since I last looked at it. I found the Wikitree somewhat confusing, but here are notes from respected blogger Randy Seaver that make it clearer.

CORRECTION: See the UPDATE below, I have modified the information for the family of John Kenyon below:

1520. John Kenyon, born about 1657, died before 26 June 1732 in Westerly, Washington County, RI. He married about 1678.
1521. --?-- Mumford, died in Westerly, Washington County, RI.

Children of John Kenyon and --?-- Mumford are: John Kenyon (1679-1681); John Kenyon (1682-1735); Sarah Kenyon (1683-1721); Jonathan Kenyon (1687-1687); Enoch Kenyon (1688-1781); James Kenyon (1690-1774); David Kenyon (1693-1772); Jonathan Kenyon (1695-1767); Joseph Kenyon (1697-1766); Samuel Kenyon (1699-1724).

CORRECTION: James and Esther (Smith) Kenyon are not the parents of John Kenyon (1657-1732) - see the UPDATE at the bottom of this post:

3041. Esther Smith, born 1633 in Oldham, Lancashire, ENGLAND. She was the daughter of 6082. John Smith and 6083. Sarah Sherman.

END OF CORRECTION

UPDATED 16 August: Martin Hollick noted in Comments that "In a series of articles in TAG in 2003-4 the Kenyons' English origins were disproved. 1521. becomes [blank] Mumford, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Sherman) Mumford. And 1520 is the end of the line. It's my book which you have."

Martin's excellent book is New Englanders in the 1600's, A Guide to Genealogical Research Published Between 1980 and 2005, Boston, Massachusetts, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2006. The entry in Martin's book noted:

"KENYON, JOHN, b. ca. 1657, d. Westerly, R.I., 1732. TAG 78:222-27, 79:207-8 (revision of English origins and early generations)."

Erica Howton , I'll slow down crosschecking. :-) Someone added to the Theodoric I discussion I started months to a year or so ago. I'd have otherwise forgotten about it with no plan to look again at that.

I don't know all profiles you oversee. I only notice profiles you curate.

Eh, I jump in if I think I can help. Keep up the good work, it’s helping the geni tree.

What do you think on the Jonathan vs John wife issue now? John has the right wife.

I’ve circled back to this:

Jonathan Kenyon

Jonathan Kenyon was the 7th son of the John Kenyon. He married 1st, 1725, Rhode Island, Sarah Rogers, daughter of Captain James and Eliza Rogers of Westerly, Rhode Island. (International and US Marriage records)

He married 2nd, Mary Gardiner.

He was voted on 2 Mar 1723-4 to be the guardian to Robert and Thomas Rogers, sons of the late Captain James Rogers. He participated in the estate of his father-in-law, Captain James Rogers, in 1719, in Westerly, Rhode Island. His will was proved in Charleston, Rhode Island, on 7 Jan 1767, which presumes he died the previous year, Rhode Island (American Kenyons, page 64).

Was John Webster, of Westerly a step son of John Kenyon, of Westerly vía a later wife who was Websters mother? See Garman, Leo, C.G. The wife or wives of John Webster (?1692-1777/81) of Rhode Island, and the Webster-Kenyon Relationship.” 'The American Genealogist. New Haven, CT: D. L. Jacobus, 1937-. (Online database. AmericanAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2009 - Vol 61 (1985) page 85-89 < AmericanAncestors > Page 86< digital image > Conclusion: more persuasive that John Webster did not marry Sarah Kenyon, and his children were by a daughter of Capt. James Rogers.


Need to look at James Rogers estate and at John Kenyons will.
