Henry of MA
The
Four Israels of Massachusetts [Israel Kenney]
By Jeff Green
Revised 15 February 2006
By utilizing the few available records and the process of elimination, I
hope to leave no doubt in the reader's mind that the Israel Kinney who married
Susannah Hood and migrated to Maugerville, New Brunswick, Canada, was in fact,
the same Israel Kenney who was born in Sutton, Worcester, MA on October 23,
1739.
I'll address the four Israel's
of issue as such: Israel
#1, #2, #3 and #4:
#1 Israel
Kenney, Sr. was the first of the name in the colonies. He was born in Boxford
(inc. into Middleton in 1728), Essex, MA on August 24, 1712 to Daniel, Sr. and
Mary (Richards) Kenney [R-01]
#2 Israel
Kenney, Sr. was the second of the name in the colonies. He was born in
Sutton, Worcester, MA on October 23, 1739 to Daniel, Jr. and
Elizabeth (Stockwell) Kenney. [R-02] He was a nephew of Israel #1
#3 Israel
Kenney, Jr. was the third of the name in the colonies. He was born in
Middleton, Essex, MA on January 6, 1745/46 to the unmarried Rebeckah Perkins
and is the son of Israel #1 [R-03] (1)
#4 Israel
Kenney, Jr. was the fourth of the name born in the colonies. He was born in
Middleton, Essex, MA
on October 21, 1746 to Israel
#1 and Eunice (White) Kenney [R-03]

|
To begin: There were only four Israel Kenney/Kenny/Kinne/Kinney's "born
or living in the colonies" until the birth of Israel #3's named son on September
19, 1766.(2) This child died soon afterwards and
the next Israel
born to #3 was on September 14, 1768. This child survived to adulthood and was
married only once and had a family. I have also been unable to find any record
of an Israel or Asa Kenney
that migrated from Ireland
during this time frame. There's just no evidence to support this theory.
Josiah and Deborah (Towne) Kenney
Now for those that believe in the Josiah and Deborah (Towne) Kenney
parentage:
There was no Israel Kenney born to Josiah and Deborah (Towne) Kinney in
1731. It is a supposition known only to a Mabel Gould Demers Hinckley who
published a genealogy of this line in 1969. There is more evidence to debunk
her theory than there is to support it. The timeline for this family is as
follows:
Timeline - Josiah and Deborah
(Towne) Kenney
|
1705/06
|
Josiah Kenney, Sr. born Feb. 12
,1705/06, son of John, Jr. and Mary Kenney
|
May 1, 1729
|
Josiah Kenney, Sr. and Deborah Towne
were married on May 1, 1729.
|
Dec. 15, 1729
|
Their first child was Mary (Kenney),
born on Dec. 15, 1729.
|
Sept. 30, 1732
|
Their second child, a son named Asa
(Keney), born on Sept. 30, 1732.
|
Oct. 16, 1732
|
It's evident that Deborah had
complications that arose from the birth of Asa and never recovered. Five
weeks later on Oct. 16, 1732, an unnamed wife of Josiah Kenney is listed in
Topsfield Deaths (C.R.).
|
July 3, 1734
|
Josiah, Sr. remarried on July 3, 1734 to
a woman named Mary Case, the daughter of Humphrey and Rachel (Nichols) Case.
|
August 31, 1736
|
Asa, son of Josiah, Sr., dies August 31,
1736 (C.R.)
|
January 8, 1737
|
Josiah Kenney, Sr., dies January 8, 1737
(C.R.)
|
June 18, 1737
|
Josiah Kinney, son of Josiah and Mary
Kinney born June 18, 1737 He survives to adulthood and has a family of six
children, none of them were named Israel.
|
All of the life events in the preceding
family/ies were recorded in the Topsfield town or church records [R-04] and all of these records have survived and are
available on the internet at:
https://sites.rootsweb.com/~maessex/VitalRecords/EssexCounty/Topsfield/
|
This family's relationship to Henry of
MA is uncertain; however, a Y-DNA participant reporting ancestry to Josiah b.
1737 matches the Y-DNA signature established for Henry's line. See
#20650
|
There is no evidence in the vital records of an Israel
Kenney/Kenny/Kinney/Kinne etc. born to Josiah and Deborah Kenney, nor can I
find any evidence of one born anywhere else in the colonies between 1713 and
1738. Asa's name was not mistakenly entered as Asa, instead of Israel, in the
Topsfield town records when he was born, as told by Mabel Hinckley. Nor could
they have made that error twice when he died. Nor is there an entry in the
Topsfield vital records for an Asa being born on August 18, 1736, thirteen days
before his older half brother of the same name passed away on August 31, 1736.
In fact, I can find no event occurring on Aug. 18, 1736 with regard to this
family. If there can be anything legitimately attributed to this mystery date
it's that Asa, born of the first marriage, had not been baptized until then.
This could have possibly occurred because his mother was sick from the day she
delivered him, until she died five weeks later on October 16, 1732. I will
speculate that in August 1736, Asa probably became gravely ill and Josiah and
his second wife Mary's concern for this led them to having him baptized
thirteen days prior to his death. If this was so, then that baptism date,
wherever it came from, could give one the mistaken impression that (a second)
Asa was born then. But people don't generally give a child the same name as an
earlier child unless the first one has already passed away. I have not been
able to locate any baptismal records that have this information, but I'll be
willing to bet this is where this date of August 18, 1736 came from. It is not
included in the church records, but it may be that he was baptised on his
deathbed and the record may have come from a family bible. The only other
explanation for this date is that it was fabricated.
All of this confusion in this family appears to have been created by a
researcher attempting to find a place for the "Israel Kinney of New
Brunswick" to fit in by following a strict ideal of naming conventions.
And when a Deborah and an Asa (names used by Israel #2) were found in a
Topsfield family with the Kenney surname, they made it fit by backing it up
with an assumption of erroneous record keeping, not once, but in two incidents
and offering no other proof. Considering that all of the life events for
Josiah's family from his first marriage until his untimely death and the
posthumous birth of his son Josiah, Jr. were recorded in the church records,
then I find it ludicrous to believe a story that there was some overlooked
mystery child born to this family. (Personal rant, now off. lol)
Israel
#1 - The Boxford Iron Works
Israel #1, the main cause
of the confusion revolving around this debate, grew up in a large family of
nine children in a house that is said to have been located at the northeast
quadrant of what is now known as Kenney
Road and Liberty
Street in Middleton,
MA. His father, Daniel Kenney,
Sr., was originally a mason by trade, but sometime prior to 1720 he had aquired
a 1/6th share in the Boxford Iron Works, which was located on the south side of
Pout Pond Brook and in close proximity to his northern property boundary. [R-05] This appears to be the initial introduction to the iron
manufacturing, blooming, blacksmithing and iron art business by this branch of
the Kenney family who were descendents of Henry and Ann (Putnam) Keney.
After the death of his father, Job Averill, Sr., in February of 1730, a
young Samuel Averill was bound out for the iron trade by his father's will to
Daniel Kenney, Sr., "the famous ironmonger" who became his guardian.
(Samuel's older brother, Israel Averill, married Daniel, Sr.'s daughter, Mary
Kenney.) [R-06]
During his short life, Israel
#1 and his brothers Isaac and David became heavily involved in the business of
the iron works and Israel #1
and Isaac also had interests in obtaining lands in the Maine frontier, possibly for the further
development of their iron business. On March 23, 1738/39, they purchased 471
acres along the west side of the Sheepscot
River, between Wiscassett and Alna in
the Maine Territory, from Isaac Kenney's
brother-in-law, Isaac Richardson. [R-07] In 1744, Ezekial
Averill, the youngest sibling of Samuel, was said to be in the employment of Israel #1. In a
pay draft, dated September 5, 1744, he received of Israel #1 "one pound, ten
shillings old tener to pay to Ezekial Averill for his work for me at
Shepcut". (Sheepscot) [R-06] On October 25, 1744, Israel #1
purchased his father's (Daniel,Sr.) 1/6th share in the Boxford Iron Works.
The following April of 1745, thirty-two year old Israel #1 had an affair
with the eighteen year old, Rebeckah Perkins. That following winter on January
6, 1745/46, Rebeckah gave birth to a son she named Israel Kenney (#3). But, on
January 11, 1745/46, just five days after young Israel's
(#3) birth, Israel #1
traveled to Boston
with Eunice White, his second cousin, and filed an intention of marriage. [R-08] Nine months later, on October 21, 1746, Eunice gave birth
to a son she named Israel Kenney (#4). In the following spring of 1747, I find
evidence that Israel
#1 passes away a few months shy of his 35th birthday. In his inventory taken on
June 29, 1747, it lists various iron working tools and a 1/6th part of an iron
mill. [R-09] Although it's noted by several researchers that
the infant Israel
#4 inherited his father's 1/6th share in the mill in his will, the File #:
15324 in the Essex County, Massachusetts, Probate Index, 1638-1840 specifically
states that Isreal Kenney, Sr. #1 died intestate. Israel #4 may have received it
after probate and it was held by his mother until he reached the age of
majority, but he didn't receive it in a will. There's a big difference there.
Israel
#3, the Revolutionary Soldier
Israel #3 born in
Middleton, Essex, MA on January 6, 1745/46, was the only child
of his unwed mother Rebeckah Perkins. [R-03] He was raised
in the home of his maternal grandmother and it's not known for sure whether his
mother resided with them or not. But it does appear that she took an active
part in raising him as he did name his first daughter Rebecca.
Israel
#3 wed Hannah Wilkins on September 18, 1864. [R-03] She was
born October 19, 1741, and was the daughter of a nearby neighbor. Hannah's
father had also died within a year of her birth and she was raised by her
mother and her stepfather, Jonathan Bailey. Rebeckah Perkins, the mother of Israel #3, died
in Topsfield on May 15, 1774 "a middle aged woman". [R-04]
According to her birthdate of Jan. 12, 1726/27 [R-04], she
was 47 at the time of her death.
Israel #3 and Hannah
moved to Hollis, Hillsborough,
NH sometime between August 1765
and September 1766. Their first child was stillborn in Middleton on August 19,
1765 [R-03] Their next two children were twins, born on
September 19, 1766, and they were named Rebecca and Israel. They were most likely born
in Hollis because I can find no record of their birth in Middleton. Young
Israel, III the male twin of Rebecca died in his bed on Feb 07, 1767 and this
incident is recorded in the Middleton records. So this possibly could have
occurred during a visit back home, as did the birth of their next child. On
September 14, 1768, Hannah gave birth to a son they again named Israel. The
next seven of their nine surviving children were evidently born in Hollis
because they aren't registered in any other of the town records. They are,
however, listed under the family if Israel
and Hannah Kinney, with dates of birth, in the "History of the Town of Hollis New
Hampshire" by Samuel T. Worcester. [R-10]
On April 19, 1775, when his wife was four months pregnant with their son
Moses, Israel Kenney #3 and 91 other men, referred to as the Hollis Minute-Men,
gathered on the Common in Hollis, NH and began their long march to Lexington to
do battle with the British. He served in the 1st regiment of three New
Hampshire Continental regiments, was in and out of battle till the end of the
war, and is found to have fought in New York City,
Trenton and Princeton in New Jersey. [R10]
In about 1805, Israel's (#3) son Moses Kenney and his wife of one year,
Jennie Jane Knowlton, along with his sister Hannah and her husband, Solomon
Blood, made settlement in the Knox Plantation in Hancock (now Waldo) County,
Maine, just west of Belfast. Within the next ten years, several other brothers
and sisters with their spouses joined them, as well as the widowed and aging Israel #3. It
is here in the town records when Knox was incorporated on July 17, 1819 that
Israel Kenney #3 stated in his deposition that he was born January 6, 1745/46.
[R-11] This statement and the Middleton birth record for Israel #3 are irrefutable evidence linking this Israel to his
birth mother, Rebeckah Perkins. On March 5, 1820, nine months after he gave
this deposition, Israel Kenney #3 passed away while living at the residence of
his son Moses. He was 74. [R-12]
Israel
#4, the Mayflower Descendant
Israel #4 was born in
Middleton, Essex, MA
on October 21, 1746 to Israel
#1 and his wife, Eunice (White) Kenney a descendant of the Whites of the
Mayflower. He was the only child born to this couple and after his father
passed away, his mother remained single for five years until June 4, 1752, when
she married the three time widower, Mark Howe. [R-03] Mark
also had connections to the Boxford Iron Works as his father, John, Jr. and
grandfather, Capt. John Howe, Sr. were at one time part owners in the business.
[R-05] Together, Mark and Eunice had three children and he
brought three from his last marriage. [R-03] So Israel #4 grew
up in a home with three step siblings and three half siblings. And his older
half brother, Israel
#3, lived nearby with his mother and maternal grandmother.
On May 5, 1765, Israel #4
married Hannah Balch in Topsfield,
MA. [R-05] She
was a third great-granddaughter of the immigrant ancestors, John and Agnes
Balch that settled in Beverly,
MA in about 1636. Their house,
which traces back to this date, still stands today and is considered the oldest
standing timber-framed house in North America.
Israel
#4 and Hannah settled in Middleton where all seven of their children were born
and raised. [R-03] Sometime after the 1790 census and prior
to 1798, it appears that Hannah passed away because on November 25, 1798, Israel #4
married the much younger widow Judith (Woodbury) Fuller [R-13]
who was born on February 21, 1766. She brought two children into the marriage
and Israel
#4 still had his three youngest daughters living at home. Just before July 29,
1804, Judith gave birth to a son they named Israel Curtis Kenney, the middle
name being the first name of Judith's father. He died a few days later and was
buried on August 4, 1804. Their next child, a daughter, was named Lydia White
Kenney, born prior to April 19, 1807. Her middle name of "White" was
obviously derived from Israel
#4's mother, Eunice (White) Kenney Howe. Judith and Israel #4 had another son born in
February 1808 they named Israel Kenney, III [R-13] and
according to the census figures for 1820, it doesn't appear that he survived to
adulthood. Israel
#4 passed away and was buried on June 1, 1817 and Judith survived him and lived
until April 6, 1840. [R-13]
Israel
Kenney #2 of Maugerville and Oromocto,
New Brunswick, Canada
Now for the final Israel Kenney and his "brother" Asa.
Israel #2 was born in
Sutton, Worcester, MA on October 23, 1739 and was the seventh
of twelve children born to Daniel, Jr. and Elizabeth (Stockwell) Kenney. [R-02] Israel #2 and an Asa Kenney, are both listed in the
"Officers and Men from Sutton in Colonial Service from 1755 to 1761"
[R-14] that served during the French and Indian War. This Israel #2 had a
younger brother named Asa born October 14, 1743. [R-02] But
it's not certain if this is the same Asa that served in the Colonial service or
if it was their 2nd cousin Asa Kenney, born March 14, 1737/38 the son of
Theophilus and Jemima (Pond) Kenney. [R-02] One of these two
Asa's married a Mehitable Stockwell on July 24, 1763 [R-02]
Her birth year has been estimated by others to be about 1741.
Asa and Mehitable's youngest child was named Jesse, and Theophilus and
Jemima's youngest child was also named Jesse and they also had a son named
Stephen. [R-02] This is the first use of the name Stephen in
any of the Kenney families to this date, and both Jesse and Stephen were Israel #2 and
brother Asa's second cousins, once removed. But in the early settlements of
these small frontier towns, they were likely to be as close as brothers.
In Robertson's book The Genealogy of
Henry and Anne Kinne, the author states next to Asa's name (son of
Theophilus), "no further record". And she attributes Israel #2's
brother Asa as being the spouse of Mehitable. Two other siblings of Israel #2
married into the Stockwell family, as well as the fact that their mother was a
Stockwell. No other members of the Theophilus Kenney family married
Stockwell's. [R-02]
Israel
#2's brother, Asa, would have just turned seventeen at the end of the fighting
in the French and Indian War in 1760. There is also an assumption that Asa was
killed during the war.(3) This would have had to happen by the end
of 1760 when the fighting ceased. This Asa would hardly have been old enough to
have married and then run off for the last couple of months in the war. Not
impossible, but I'd say this candidate really pushes the envelope of
plausibility. After the end of the war, the only record found for Israel #2 in the vicinity of Upton is an intention of marriage to Sybil
Leland, filed in the Uxbridge/Grafton area on October 24, 1761. [R-15]
[R-16] If this marriage occurred, there is no record of it
nor of any children born to them. There is also no record in the Sutton area of
an Asa Kenney marrying an Abigail.
I've found in the marriage records for Middleton an Asa Kenny that married
an Abigail Putnam on October 8, 1765. [R-03] This is the
only record I can find for an Asa Kenney and an Abigail anywhere, and there is
no further record of them. In the Topsfield marriage records I find an entry
for Israel Kinney and Susanna Hood's marriage intention and marriage on the
same day of June 9, 1763. [R-04] I cannot find entries for
the births of their first two children, Deborah and Sarah in the Topsfield [R-04], Middleton [R-03] or Sutton [R-02] vital records nor can I find an entry for Asa and
Abigail's son, Asa, Jr. in these same volumes.
Being that Daniel Kenney, Jr., father of Israel #2, was the son of a man
that owned part of an iron mill, it's quite possible that he was also trained
in blacksmithing to some degree or another. Unfortunately I've been unable to
locate information on this theory, but it's doubtless that he would have had
something to do with Israel's
following the trade of his grandfather and uncles, leading him to an
apprenticeship at the Boxford Iron Works.
In the town tax records for Middleton in 1762 and 1763, there appears to be
three different Israel Kenney's. I suspect that after Israel #2
returned from his Colonial Service, it's very likely he went to the iron works
in Middleton to either learn or further hone his skills as a blacksmith. And
what better an area for a young man to find a bride. The population was much
larger and denser in the Middleton, Topsfield and Salem
areas than in the remote town of Sutton.
Conclusions
My conclusions are that the Israel Kenney who married Susannah Hood is the Israel #2 as
described above. I believe the Asa Kenney that married an Abigail is probably
the son of Theophilus and Jemima (Pond) Kenney and is Israel's
cousin, not his brother. Although, if this Asa was married at the time he died
in battle, he couldn't have been married to Abigail Putnam because she was born
about 1745 and was fourteen at the time of the taking of Quebec. This Asa (son of Theophilus) would
have been twenty one and he and Abigail would have to be married before
September 1759, at the time Quebec
was taken. Now, if this Asa were to have survived the war and died in some
other manner between October 8, 1765 and the time the families set out for Canada, then
his marriage to Abigail Putnam would be more feasible. There may be a record of
the birth of Abigail's son, Asa, Jr. tucked away in some obscure Topsfield or
Middleton document that could be the final clue to this story.
So there it is. Take it with a grain of salt or accept what I've given you
here and follow it up with more research of your own if you wish.
If any of this confuses you, you still have questions or have anything you'd
like to share or add, please feel free to email me.

Notes:
(1) This
has been proven with DNA testing (see
Group 2 #8933) and a proper paper trail.
(2) The
Feb. 7, 1767, of death for Israel
#3's first named son is recorded in the Vital Records of Middleton - Deaths. The first children born to Israel & Hannah
on August 19, 1765 were twins of which the daughter, Rebecca, survived and an
unnamed son was stillborn. [R-03]
(3) According
to family tradition in what is written in "Israel Kenny, his children and
their families" by Edwin Wallace Bell; [R-17] Israel had a
brother named Asa who married a woman named Abigail who survived him and then
married a storekeeper named Richard Barlow. It also suggests that Asa died in
the war, possibly at the taking of Quebec.
The taking of Quebec occurred on September 13, 1759, so I would think this
pretty much takes this Asa, Israel #2's brother, out of the picture. On this
date, he was a month shy of his sixteenth birthday. This information presented
in E.W. Bell's book has made it very difficult to determine whether the Asa
that Bell speaks of was actually a brother of Israel #2 or if
he was his cousin. The records that "are" available do not support
this story at this time and nobody else has turned up any information that can
prove this story one way or another. Over the years, family memories fade and
get replaced by erroneous family lore and I think that's basically what this
is.
