I started the Kenyon Name Study Project, in the fall of 2023. I've been adding my research notes which I have compiled over the past 15 years. They aren't of much use in a binder collecting dust. I'm also researching the Kenyon surname globally providing a fresh perspective.
I have a tree on Ancestry (#1 A Kenyon Family Tree) and a profile on Findagrave (#47005688) [1]

Kenyon Name Study |
Curiosity led me to seek out information on my family history. Chipping away at brick walls, using DNA to discover family relationships and uncover long-held family secrets keeps me engaged. There's always something new around the corner, whether it is in the way to look at a situation or whether technology allows one to go further back in time. Artificial Intelligence holds great promise to bring to light information buried in historical newspapers and constructing hypothetical trees from our autosomal DNA to breakthrough brickwalls. It feels as though we are standing on the threshold of a new frontier. It is all very exciting.
Growing up, I didn't know too much about my ancestry. All my grandparents were alive when I was born but I knew little to nothing about my great-grandparents. My maternal grandmother, Anna, provided some oral history, but little of that jelled until I started to do my own research years after her death.
We typically celebrated Christmas at the home of Aunt Helen and Uncle Frank in San Rafael, California. Aunt Helen would remind us that Susan B. Anthony was our "Great Aunt." I didn't know whether that was true - but I thought it would be great if "someone" would research the question to find out whether it was true or not. As crazy as it may sound now, just the possibility of having Susan B. Anthony as a relative was formative in my own self-concept as a young girl. I admired her because she fought for the right for women to vote. It made me aware of how women were treated as 2nd class citizens, devoid of given a voice in matters, of having to fight for the mere right to cast a vote. It also made me aware of how women were treated historically and to this day. Women continue to fight for equal pay. Recently, abortion rights were rolled back by the Supreme Court. We've come too far to go back to a time when women had few rights.
Family was important to my father. When the Great Depression hit, he dropped out of school to help in the family business. I can remember, as a child, my father staying up late to watch Johnny Carson. Sometimes, I would get out of bed to watch The Tonight Show with him. Our home was frequently filled with music. My father played the piano. He was self-taught, didn't read musicical notes but he could play just about anything he heard. When he sang, he sounded like Bing Crosby. He kept a stamp collection with stamps from all over the world. He must have had the collection for a long time as he kept the collection in four to six inch album. One day, he pointed out his resemblance to an English monarch. He told me there was a family story that we were possibly related to English royalty. Today, looking back, I believe the stamp was for King Edward VIII issued in 1936, KEVIII 1½d. It is a profile headshot, with strikingly similar facial features, jawline, and hairline to that of my father. Edward abdicated the throne the same year as the stamp and was later disgraced. Dad didn't mention that part but he passed along to me a sense of wonder. The time I spent with him was too short. I cherish the memories of the time we spent together. It was the little things.
My interest with the British royal family goes back to my father's interest. Prince Charles (now King of England) is my contemporary, less than two years difference in our ages. He and Princess Diana had their two sons about the same time I had my two children. Diana was extraordinary - beautiful and kind. I watched her marriage to Charles, in 1981, and followed them through the tawdry tabloids until her tragic death. I was envious of Charles' sister, Princess Anne, born the same year as I. Anne rode and jumped horses. She competed in the 1976 Olympics in Monteal.[1] I loved horses, spending much of my youth hanging out at Charles Tinker's riding stable in Boulder Creek, California. While they rode Western, I sometimes pulled out the lone English saddle collecting dust in a back corner of the tack room. (Years later, I would fulfill my childhood dream by attending a 3-month dressage and jumping program at Pacific Equestrian Center, in Wilton, California.) I watched Kate Middleton's marriage to Prince William, in 2011 and Meghan Markle's marriage to Prince Harry, in 2018. I set my alarm to get up early to watch the marriages live on television. Queen Elizabeth II is my 12th cousin, once removed, and Lady Diana, Princess of Wales is a 9th cousin, once removed.
It seemed too fanciful to even dream of having a connection to English royalty. Discovering most of my ancestors on the paternal side of my family were early immigrants from England, the possiblity became more palpable. After getting involved with genealogy, the wall of impossibility began to crumble, having made more than one connection to the royal family. As a young girl, I was star-struck by the pomp and pagentry. As an adult I've continued to follow them. To be clear, I look at the royal family differently. They are no longer in control of their country but kept on because they draw so many visitors every year. They are more or less a curiosity. I look at kings much as I look at other aristrocracies and dictators. Much of their wealth came at the expense of their citizens, who paid for it with a class system, high taxes, limited job opportunies, loss of religious freedom, child labor, and massive illiteracy. Those who opposed were imprisoned, banished to other parts of the world, or lost their heads.
Genealogy opened up a world of possibilites. I love the show, Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Dr. Gates is an amazing storyteller. He tells his guests interesting stories and facts which have been uncovered about their ancestors. Although, I find the research interesting and educational, it is the reaction of his guests which is the most powerful part of the show. So many times, his guests tell Dr. Gates how these facts about their ancestor has changed them. When they cry, I find myself crying. Genealogy is that powerful.
One summer, when I was about 10 years old I asked my maternal grandparents from where they descended. My grandparents owned and managed a Herford cattle ranch complete with a barn owl, in Yreka, California. My grandmother tended to her organic vegetable garden, picking off those ugly green horny worms and obtaining raw milk from a neighboring ranch. She lived to be 101, so it seems her fastidious concern about her diet likely contributed to her longevity. I still vividly recall the exchange between them. I was seated on the floor in the living room across from my grandfather, as my grandmother walked into the adjacent dining area with the picturesque view of Mt. Shasta behind her. There was a bit of back and forth between them, my grandmother said they were Danish, while my grandfather said they were German. They both agreed that the families came from the northern part of Germany, which was predominantly Danish. It was only years later that I would come to understand that parts of what is now Germany used to be Denmark. DNA now reveals that most of our ancestors from the area were predominantly Danish, although some were German. So, they both were right.
My maternal side consisted of more recent immigrants into America from Germany, unlike my paternal side which consisted of numerous New England colonial ancestors. My maternal side has been more challenging to research. My uncle, John Carstensen, possessed a recorded ancestry on his father's side of the family, going back several generations. My maternal grandmother, Anna Cecelia (Petersen) Carstensen, passed down much of her knowledge orally. When it came time to research it, I relied on her oral history, hand-written notes, and documented pedigrees she left. I hadn't realized how much her stories had sunk in until I tried to piece together her notes. It was as though I could hear her voice placing special emphasis on certain names, such as the Hargens. Her mother died when she was about 7 years old, her father died when she was about 13 from sacral sarcoma. She was orphaned when she was a child, barely escaping the fate of her sisters who were treated for and died from turberculosis. These events were traumatic for her. It may explain her need to repeat the story to ground herself of her roots and insure her ancestors were not forgotten. I haven't researched much beyond that, given the degree of difficulty with the German records, the historical upheaval of the region, and the naming customs of the time. My hope is one day one of my cousins, nephews, or nieces, who has taken German in school, will pick up the mantle to research these lines back further. I guess you could say that I'm willing to kick the can down the road and leave the heavy lifting to the Millennials and Generation Z.
In the autumn of 2007, I decided to take the proverbial leap to look into the unanswered questions of my ancestry. I jotted down all I knew on a sheet of paper. It wasn't much. I visited a Family History Center in Lincoln, California. In the course of a couple of hours, they showed me several census records. First, they located my father with his parents, Roy and Edna Kenyon. Then, going back in time, a census record showing grandfather Roy Kenyon and my great-grandfather, Alonzo Kenyon. That was a shock to me because I had never heard of him - or at least I had no memory of ever having heard of him. This was followed by the 1870 census record showing Alonzo Kenyon and my 2nd great-grandfather, Lyman Kenyon and his wife, Melissa. I was stunned and fascinated. Who were these people? I had never heard anything at all about these ancestors. Then, going back to the 1860, and finally the 1850 Federal census in Lafayette, Wisconsin. I wanted to know who Lyman's father was. I didn't want the search to end, but that was the end of the trail insofar as what the Federal Census record could reveal. They gave me a list of suggestions to pursue, assuring me that I would find the answer. What I did not know at the time, but would soon come to realize - we hit a brick wall. The answer wasn't forthcoming. That started me on a journey that became a 7-year obsession to figure out the answer to that question: Who was the father of Lyman Kenyon?
Since I couldn't go further back with Lyman Kenyon, I was encourged to research collateral lines. That meant his wife Melissa. At first she was a mystery but was solved with a marriage date in Phelps genealogy which listed Lyman and her. That opened the door, which would lead to solving not one but two family mysteries and so much more. I would come to discover that my paternal line descended from a wonderous collection of early colonial ancestors beginning with Edward Fuller arriving on the Mayflower. That was a surprise I wasn't expecting. Susan B. Anthony was in the mix. My "Great Aunt" is actually a 4th cousin four times removed. It also led to answering the question about a possible royalty connection. There were hints along the way, but that took a bit of digging. Some things are not handed to you on a platter in genealogy.
A significant part of my research included joining genealogy groups, attending workshops, and traveling to conferences. I've made several trips to Salt Lake City to stay at the Plaza Hotel, which is located next to the Family History Library, including attending RootsTech in 2018. I have also researched at The Genealogy Center at Allen County Public Library, located in Fort Worth, Indiana, and The New York State Library, 7th floor, in Albany, New York. I've traveled to Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, and New York. I would travel to towns where my ancestors lived, visit cemeteries, and seek out libraries, historical societies, and courthouses for records. I maintain numerous subscriptions. I am a group administrator for the Kenyon Project at FTDNA, having attended several of the annual group administrator conferences in Houston, Texas over the years. I attended the one just prior to the pandemic. Following the pandemic, in 2023, I attended the conference virtually. (It was the first time they offered the event virtually. This is one significant way the pandemic has changed how we connect with each other.) While I lived in California, I was a member of the Gold Trail chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. I also attended a week-long advanced genetic genealogy DNA course taught by CeCe Moore and Blaine Bettinger in 2018, in Amherst, New York. This was just after the Golden State Killer was arrested in April 2018, in Sacramento, California. He was identified by Barbara Rae-Venter using genetic genealogy. (I lived in one part of Northern California where he terrorized the community. I can well remember the fear women, myself included, had at the time.) I've done DNA testing at Family Tree DNA, autosomal and mitochondrial, Ancestry, 23and Me, My Heritage, and Living DNA. In 2023, I started a Kenyon One-Name Study on WikiTree and at the Guild of One Name Studies.
By and large, my family was pretty much spot on. My paternal side of the family almost all come from England. My maternal side is almost all from the northern region of Germany. Admixtures vary from company to company. I am predominantly a mix of English (paternal) and Scandinavian ancestry (maternal), with a trace amount of African DNA (0.2 %), dating back to the slave trade (per 23andMe).
It has really been a fantastic experience to learn about my ancestors. I had no idea my paternal line was so much a part of American history, beginning with the Mayflower. Understanding their struggles and triumphs gives me a glimpse into who they were. Their stories give me context into my own family's lives. I believe that incorporating one's ancestry into history classes would add context to understanding how history applies to everyone.
I am very grateful to my uncles and cousins who have submitted their DNA to further genealogy discoveries. I wish my grandparents could have known of the discoveries, but I am very grateful for the stories they passed along to me. I hope the information I have found will be interesting and provide stepping stones to others in their journey.
Very early in my research I learned from cousin, Dick Nutter, of our connection to the Mayflower from his research. I had not heard of it previously. When I learned about the Mayflower in school I just assumed that there wasn't a connection to me. So, it was a pleasant surprise! Edward Fuller is my 10th Great-Grandfather. In recent years, I have come to believe through lineage and autosomal DNA matches that I also descend from another Mayflower passenger, William Brewster. While not confirmed, I hope to firm up this connection.

I also learned about gateway ancestors back to English royalty and Charlemagne, which my father would have appreciated. Gateway Ancestors include Robert Abell and Anne Marbury. [2] Robert Abell is my 8th Great-grandfather, Ann Marbury, my 10th Great-grandmother. Proven lineage back to either of these gateway ancestors is accepted for membership to the Order of the Crown of Charlemagne in the United States, which is a lineal social society named in honor of Emperor Charles the Great (742-814). The royal lines go back to Charlemagne, who is my 32nd Great-Grandfather.
I feel quite certain that it is our connection to Anne Marbury, of whom our relatives were aware. Her connection as well as that of Susan B. Anthony would have been known by the same ancestors who descended from the Phelps and Anthony lines. In my case, that would have been Melissa Phelps, my 2nd great-grandmother, wife of Lyman Kenyon, and daughter of Daniel Phelps, and Eliza Anthony. I believe Melissa was the one to pass along the family connection to Susan B. Anthony, as a great aunt and our connection to English royalty. Additionally, when I came across Phelps' cousins, one of the first things they would ask about was whether the Susan B Anthony connection was true. So, the Phelps side heard this reinforcing my suspicion that it was Melissa Phelps.
The connection to Anne Marbury is a gateway to English royalty and the Plantagenet Family Line. The descent through Anne Marbury is shown below. There are at least 67 different paths between Edward and Marilyn, but this was the path my ancestors carried with them.
Royal Descent from Edward I, King of England
The Huguenots were French Protestants. They were persecuted by the Catholic Church. Many of them left their homes in France to other parts of the world. My ancestor, Henri Gashet is my 7th Great-Grandfather. He and his brother, David left La Rochelle, France to America.
Several ancestors had some involvement in the Salem Witch Trials. Dudley Bradstreet was Justice of the Peace for Andover, Massachusetts. He issued warrants for the arrest and imprisonment of forty-eight suspected "witches." Later, he and his wife, Anne, were accused of witchcraft and forced to flee. John Peabody was on the Salem Witchcraft jury which convicted John Willard. Willard was sentenced to death and hung. After the trial, John and eleven other jury members circulated a declaration of regret.
Several members of the Tyler family were involved, including, Mary Tyler, wife of Hopestill Tyler, who was accused of witchcraft, as well as her sister Hannah Tyler Bushnell. Mary Tyler Bridges, daughter of Job Tyler, my 9th great-grandfather, was also accused of witchcraft.
My paternal line also included numerous patriots including Barnabas Kenyon , Barrett Phelps , Ebenezer Smith , James Chase , John Clarke , John Parkhurst, Jr., Ira Bigelow, Nathaniel Gardiner, Cornelius Butler and Asa Tyler, who served in the American Revolution. I have documented the lineage for three of these (Barrett Phelps, Ebenezer Smith, and James Chase) at the Daughters of the American Revolution.
My 3rd great-grandfathers, Barnabas Kenyon and Hill Richardson both served in the War 1812, under Lt. Anthony Sprague at Sackets Harbor, Jefferson County, New York. It was a surprising coincidence, no apparent relationship to each other at the time, other than being neighbors. By 1830, Hill Richardson moved his family to Stockton, Chautauqua, New York. Barnabas Kenyon moved his family to Lima, LaGrange, Indiana, circa 1837. Hill Richardson's great-granddaughter, Edna Florilla Gear, married Barnabas Kenyon's great-grandson, Roy Louis Kenyon in Campbell, LaCross, Wisconsin, on 10 Jul 1901, nearly 90 years after the War.
My great-grandfather Alonzo Kenyon served in the Civil War for the Union side, in Company K, 46th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry. He mustered out on 27 Sep 1865 at Nashville, Tennessee. I obtained a copy of his pension record. It was lengthy, much of it describing chronic dysentery he suffered years following his service. Testimony was also given by friends, family, and neighbors of his chronic problems. It also listed his date and place of birth, marriage, and the names of a few children, who died young, that I didn't have from other records. Alonzo's younger brother, Alphonzo Frank Kenyon also served in the Civil War, Company K, 46th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry. Their names were so similar that many of the records were placed into the wrong file. This confusion would follow them their entire life.
On my paternal side, my uncle, James Russell Kenyon served as Private in the United States Army Air Forces in World War II. He was buried Golden Gate National Cemetery, San Bruno, California. On my maternal side, my uncle, Robert Joe Carstensen served as AOM3 in the United States Navy. He was buried at Eagle Point Cemetery, Eagle Point, Oregon. My step-father, Gerald Samuel Anderson served in the Air Force in World War II from 1942 to 1945.
On my maternal side, two uncles, brothers served in Korea. They include John Paul Carstensen, who served as Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force and Boyd Carstensen, who served as Sergeant in the United States Army. They were both buried in Eagle Point Cemetery, Eagle Point, Oregon.
My interest in genetics began with a class I took at the University of California, San Diego, when I was an undergraduate student in the 70's. At the time, it was the only course on the subject offered at the undergraduate level. It covered primarily human genetics and mutations with medical implications. I was also interested in cat genetics, particularly mutations which affected coat color. At the time, I was breeding and showing Havana Brown cats.
In 2008, DNA testing entered into my genealogy toolbox. My father died years earlier and my mother was reluctant to test. My paternal uncle, Jim Kenyon, agreed to do Y-DNA, serving as a valuable replacement for my father. His kit was ordered on March 4, 2008. His DNA would prove invaluable in helping me to solve the brick wall on my paternal side and the answer to the question: Who is the father of Lyman Kenyon? Immediately, the results of Jim's Y-DNA test showed he matched other Rhode Island Kenyons, descendants of John or his brother James Kenyon, from the book, American Kenyons. I could eliminate the possibility of recent immigrants from England or Wales and focus my attention to the Rhode Island Kenyons. Additionally, Jim's Y-DNA revealed an STR marker that appeared to set our Kenyon line apart from the other Rhode Island Kenyon lines. The question now was which son of John or James. I compiled a list of about 125 Kenyon males living in New York in 1820 with sons from census records. Much of this information was provided by Richard Kenyon, Ph.D, who had personally compiled these records. (Many of these names had not been correctly transcribed by Ancesty at the time). This was supplemented by other records (published genealogies, birth, death, burial records) in an attempt to identify any potential male. Since Lyman Kenyon was born 1814, in New York state, there was a high probability his father was among those on the list. I spent a couple of years working the list, identifying who they were and matching up father to sons, through a process of elimination. At first, I was able to match up people quickly, with the low hanging fruit, but as time moved on I was putting in more time with diminishing returns. After two years, I realized I was going to have to change strategies.
I wanted to get Y-DNA results from some of these lines. I embarked on descendant searches for those on my wish list to find and recruit living descendants to take a Y-DNA test. Most were very happy to help. I eliminated the first two from my list because they weren't as close of a DNA match to one already tested in the project. While disappointed, it also helped me to refocus on other prospects, one of whom was Barnabas Kenyon, who was number 3 on my wish list. He was buried in Pretty Prairie, Indiana, far from New York State. I came across him from mere happenstance, looking for Kenyons who could have a New York State connection, buried in another state. I recruited a male Kenyon descendant from a different son of Barnabas Kenyon, Sr., Randall Kenyon along a very well-researched line. I was on pins and needles waiting for the results to come back. I checked the Family Tree DNA website every day, sometimes twice a day. I had my fingers crossed hoping for the signature marker. When the result came in I almost couldn't believe it. All these years of searching - at times doubting whether I would ever find the answer. There it was! He was a match to my uncle with the signature marker. That was the breakthrough I needed. Since then, I have recruited another descendant of Barnabas Kenyon, Sr. through a third son, Samuel Kenyon who also has the signature marker. Finally, I went one generation back from Barnabas Kenyon, Sr., to his father, Samuel Kenyon. I located a descendant from a different son, not Barnabas Kenyon, Sr. He too had the marker. I was able to establish that the signature marker (mutation) occurred at Samuel Kenyon, as other descendants of his father, Jonathan Kenyon, do not have the signature marker.
My maternal uncle, John Carstensen also agreed to do Y-DNA and autosomal DNA testing. John's Y-DNA was considered to be quite ancient, a bit of a puzzle, surviving centuries of population changes in Europe. John's Y-DNA was part of the I2 haplogroup. Many in this group consisted of farmers, at the time Stonehenge was built. Most were eliminated by rival populations, presumably through better weaponry, although there is now much debate on this issue. Recently, a 2020 published study of Viking burials that tested ancient Viking DNA showed my uncle matched Viking DNA, which means he shared a common ancestor with a Viking!

I look forward to hearing from you..
I looked for your Kenyon Name Study to find if you have worked on Military profiles.
Many thanks,
Mary, Project Coordinator, Military & War
Yes, I have been working on military profiles, especially ones for the Civil War. I've added several profiles using information from "New York, U.S., Town Clerks' Registers of Men Who Served in the Civil War, ca 1861-1865." Some of these profiles provide a birth date and birthplace with the names of both parents. I still have a few left to do from this source. This source also provides a record of what battles in which the soldier served, stories of bravery (receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor), and sadness, the soldier being buried on the battleground, and a mother losing both of her sons. For others, they served, went home, and had their children. I wasn't expecting to feel the emotions from documenting the information from these records.
Mary
You indicated that you are working on Kenyon males who were in a war. You might want to make a Space page unless you plan to add a particular sticker to the men who served .
I awarded the Military and War badge to you.
Military and War covers many wars that do not have a special badge including French and Indian War, Spanish American War, War of 1812, Mexican American War, World War II, Korean Conflict, Vietnam War, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. You may know this,
it is the umbrella project for the more wars such as 1776, Civil War. All wars are listed on the project page in a red outlined box to study.
We use Military and War Google group for discussion. If you apply, be sure to include your full name so we will know you already belong to the project. https://groups.google.com/g/wikitree-military-and-war
