Interesting in corresponding with descendants of Clarence Kenyon. Poughkeepsie Eagle News Tues. July 31, 1934 C. KENYON DIES AT CLIFFDALE Retired Clothing Firm Head Was Resident of County For Twenty years. Clarence Kenyon, 86, retired clothing manufacturer, died at his estate, Cliffdale, at 9 o'clock yesterday morning after an illness of more than a month. The last time he was able to leave his home was on June 17, Father's day, when a party was given for him at Kenyon hall, Vassar College. Twenty-one members of his family were present, including two great grandchildren, Kenyon and John Gillespie. The group took part in games and swimming, and a buffet supper super was served. Mr. Kenyon was a native of Brooklyn, a son of Pardon Waterman Kenyon and Janette Preston. He had lived at Cliffdale the last 20 years, settling here after extensive traveling which he began on his retirement from business in 1904. In 1874 Mr. Kenyon entered the firm of S. L. Pettit and company, retail clothiers, as junior partner. He enlarged the business by adding a wholesale department, and in 1884 bought out the interest of his partner and six years later incorporated as C. Kenyon company. Entering the manufacturing field, Mr. Kenyon established a plant for the complete manufacture of clothes, while competitors still had the cutting of garments done by workers in their homes. The Kenyon factory became a model for the entire trade. When he established the factory Mr. Kenyon took two sons into the firm and a third joined the business in 1904 upon the father's retirement. Mr. Kenyon was for 16 years a trustee of the First Congregational church here and had been a deacon of the Clinton Avenue Congregational church in Brooklyn. In 1869 he married Emma J. Kelsey, who died four years ago. He is survived by a sister, Amy C. Kenyon; a daughter, Helen Kenyon; his sons, Harry L., Clarence Jr., and George Kenyon; four grandchildren, Trevor Kenyon, Mrs. Kingsley Gillespie, Mrs. Davies Tainter, and Marjorie Kenyon; and three great grandchildren, Kenyon and John Gillespie, and Davies Tainter, Jr. The funeral will be held from the residence at 10:45 o'clock tomorrow morning. Burial will be in Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn, under the direction of A. A. Schoonmaker. ------------------------------------------- Along with James E. Sague, his brother-in-law, Clarence Kenyon purchased the Cliffdale property in 1909 from Andrew Boardman's estate. Andrew Boardman and his first wife, as well as, James E. Sague and his first wife (Clarence Kenyon's sister) are buried in Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery. James E. Sague (Prominent City Leader and Noted City of Poughkeepsie Engineer, was a brother to John Sague, who at the time of the 1909 Hudson Fulton Celebration was the Mayor of the City of Poughkeepsie. Ginny in Poughkeepsie Striving to document our local storied past with family recollections and along the way telling the stories of those who found their final rest in the perpetual beauty of Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery. Once again Poughkeepsie Connects to Brooklyn. Have a Happy and Thankful Thanksgiving!

Bard is just North of Red Hook and their campus library is open to the public. Check their website though for when the campus is closed for the holidays. I have found many of my needed obituaries in the Rhinebeck Gazette which covered most of Northern Dutchess. That late 1880s time period was one of very long and descriptive obits in some cases.

Sylvanus (Sylvenus) KELLY was b. ca. 1750 in Dutchess Co., NY (area that is now Putnam Co., NY)and lived there until 1790 and then he removed to the town of Coeymans, Albany Co., NY. I haven't been able to find Sylvenus' wife's name. Sylvanus had a son named SNIFFIN. At first I had to chuckle at having a son by the name of Sniffin, but soon learned that it was an actual surname of a family that lived in Rye, Westchester Co., NY and some descendants migrated into Dutchess Co., NY in the mid 1700's. I have learned since that there is a strong likelihood that when there is a son named Sniffin (father has a surname other than Sniffin/Kniffin) in a family that the wife or one of the wife's parents/grandparents has a Sniffin/Kniffin family connection somehow. So I am thinking that my Sylvenus KELLY may of married a woman with a maiden name of Sniffin/Kniffin or that Sylvenus' wife's mother had a maiden name of Sniffin/Kniffin. Based on what I have been able to find out so far a Samuel KNIFFIN/SNIFFIN b. 1727 married a Rebecca ?? and removed to Dutchess Co. probably around 1751 and settled in the area now part of Putnam Co., NY and died there in 1791. Samuel and his wife Rebecca had daus. Sarah b.1755, Jane, Susan, Hannah, and Esther. They had sons named Samuel b. 1751 and Amos. Where there other children? If so, who were they and their date of birth and spousal name? Did any of Samuel and Rebecca KNIFFIN/SNIFFIN's daus. married a Sylvanus KELLY? The only two daus. of Sylvenus KELLY that I know of were named Ruth and Anna (Hannah). The name Harriett was a common name used in the descendants of Sylvanus Kelly. These are possible first names for Sylvanus KELLY's wife, but I do not know if Samuel KNIFFIN/SNIFFIN b. 1727 and his wife Rebecca had a dau. by one of those names. They did have a dau. Hannah b. 1762 and m. a Thomas HOPKINS. It's possible that Sylvanus Kelly and his wife named a son Sniffin because Sylvanus had a good and close friend named Sniffin or with a surname of Sniffin/Kniffin. Sylvenus KELLY's brother Jonathan died in 1805 at an early age of 45 yrs. Jonathan's wife Grace sold the land (Sylvanus and Jonathan's father leased originally) to Samuel KNIFFIN/SNIFFIN in 1810. This Samuel KNIFFIN was probably the son of Samuel and Rebecca KNIFFIN who married Jane HUGHSON. So it appears that there was this Sniffin/Kniffin-Kelly connection somehow. I am seeking the wife's name of Sylvanus KELLY and her connection to the Samuel KNIFFIN/SNIFFEN b. 1727 family of Dutchess Co., NY. Thanks very much for any help.
