The Kenyon marriage record is:
The transcription of this record is:
148 KENYON, John, and Ann Kenyon ; m. by Rev. Gardiner Thurston, April 24, 1764.
The source citation for this record is:
"Rhode Island, Vital Records Extracts, 1636-1899," indexed database and digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com), "Vol. 04: Newport County: Births, Marriages and Deaths," Marriages, page 42, Ann Kenyon and John Kenyon entry.
This record seems to say that John Kenyon's wife was also a Kenyon. As far as I know, no researcher has found the names of the parents of this Ann Kenyon or a birth date and place for her. She was born in about 1742, probably in Rhode Island.
The number "148" in the record is a page number in some Newport record book which may or may not still be extant. I should try to find it, I think.
This is Primary Information extracted from the Newport town records, and the book is a Derivative Source with Direct Evidence.
NOTE: Treasure Chest Thursday is one of the weekly genealogy blog themes on Geneabloggers. I use it to display, transcribe and source records for my ancestral families.

Perhaps Ann Kenyon is the prior wife of a close relative of John Kenyon & this is a 2nd, 3rd etc marriage for her.
