Jeff According to his pension papers he was Born June 1 1754 in Richmond RI. He was the son of Thomas kenyon B 1/26/1768 and his wife Catherine Ney. Thomas Kenyon Sr was made a Freeman in 1733 and listed as JP in Richmond from 1750 to 1752, 1755 to 1762 1770 to 1771. Thomas SR is in military census of 1777 resident of Richmond. His will was proved in 1778. It states his wife and all their living children, a granddaughter,Martha, daughter of their youngest child, Catherine. He is named in the estate of his deceased mother, Elizabeth Kenyon, in Richmond. He and his wife are buried near the "Captain Thomas Kenyon Deacon David Kenyon Farm." Their are 3 Thomas Kenyon Farms in what is called the Shannock Purchae. However the home of Thomas Sr. and Catherine is no longer there. He served a Total of 17 months (various dates from 11/76 until 1781) in the Rev. War under Capt. Simeon Clarke, Capt, Richard Baily under Colonels Robert Brown, Colonel ? Reynolds, Col. Charles Dyer and Col. Thomas Potter. Oliver lived in Richmond until 1802 moving to Carliale Shcoharie County and in 1827 he moved to Brookfield, Madison County, New York. His pension was $56.66 per Annum and was effective 3/4/1831. I would say that it is more likely he is among the SDB Kenyons rather than a Quaker and many settled in the Madison County Area.
