Nancy Kenyon was the daughter of John and Anna (--?--) Kenyon, and had at least eight siblings. She was probably the oldest child based on her parents marriage date in 1764 and her own marriage in about 1785. The John Kenyon family resided in Exeter, Rhode Island until about 1778, when they acquired land in Voluntown and Sterling, Connecticut. There are no birth records for any of the children of John and Anna (--?--) Kenyon.
Nancy Kenyon married Joseph Champlin in about 1785, probably in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, and they had twelve children between 1785 and 1808, all born in South Kingstown except one[1]:
* Samuel (born 1785)
* Phoebe (born 1788)
* Mary (Polly) (born about 1790)
* Joseph (born 1792)
* Nancy (born about 1794)
* Elizabeth (born 1796)
* Amey (born 1797)
* George Hazard (born 1799)
* Abigail (born about 1802)
* John Kenyon (born 1804)
* Frances Gardiner (born 1800)
* Alice (born 1808)
In the will of John Kenyon, written on 6 May 1824 and proved 8 August 1831 in Plainfield District, Connecticut, Nancy (Kenyon) Champlin and several of her children are mentioned[3]. The text includes:
"Item, I give & bequeath to my daughter Nancy Champlin one dollar to be paid two years after my decease in full of her portion -
"Item I give & bequeath to my grandson Samuel Champlin one dollar to be paid two years after my decease in full of his portion -
"Item I give & bequeath to my grandson Joseph Champlin one dollar to be paid two years after my decease in full of his portion -
"Item I give to my grandson John Champlin one dollar to be paid two years after my decease in full of his portion -
"Item I give to my grandson George Haszard Champlin one dollar to be paid in two years after my decease in full of his portion -"
Nancy was alive in 1824 when her father wrote his will. She is not mentioned in Joseph Champlin's Revolutionary War Pension application dated 1833. Joseph Champlin was an elderly man residing in the Frederic Chappell household in the 1840 U.S. Census, and resided with the Joseph Champlin Jr. family in the 1850 U.S. Census. Nancy probably died between 1824 and 1833.
No death or burial record has been found for Nancy (Kenyon) Champlin.
