Article from Rockville Indiana library: Jackson Township #5 School:

“About the year of 1860 a new frame school-house was built north of the site of log school by Thomas Winkler and Sanders Kenyon while G.K. Langford was trustee. This building was about 24x26 feet with six windows in both sides of the building, each containing 24 panes with one door in the south end. The building was heated by a wood stove that stood in the center of the house. The seats were made of poplar lumber and nailed fast to the floor. Some of the seats were large enough for two or more pupils.”

Kenyon-1676 and Kenyon-3 are not ready to be merged because: Birth place of Kenyon 3 needs updated

Thank you, Joe. I'm going to do some research right now just to confirm that we are not conflating two different Sanders Kenyons.

OK, it appears that the Indiana birth location was probably just a mix-up with Sanders' grandson Sanders, son of Samuel.

No problem, Samuel's son died in Iowa, born in Indiana. You related? My family had no idea that Sanders had a done Joseph w Kenyon, they just gave me middle name because of my great grand father, but guess I know how he got his name now

Kenyon-1676 and Kenyon-3 appear to represent the same person because: I believe these are the same person since information is the same.

Hi Cindi! A reply to your question on the Sanders Kenyon page. His son, Wellington Peach Kenyon, was my maternal grandfather of Dallas County. My mother was born in 1892. Maybe your Sanders Kenyon is a relative? I am very familiar with Gardiner and Perry, Iowa.
