The John and Elizabeth (Remington) Kenyon family moved from South Kingstown to Westerly, Rhode Island in the 1720s[2].
John Kenyon died before 24 February 1724/5, when their daughter married, and her father was mentioned as "John, deceased"[2].
After her husband died, Elizabeth probably resided with one or more of her children. She died before 5 October 1747 when an inventory for Elizabeth Kenyon was filed in the Richmond, Rhode Island probate papers. Her son, Thomas Kenyon, was administrator of her estate[3].
