The following was related to James Bunting Kenley
by his father Andrew Sampson Kenley a few years before his father's death
in his eighties.(note from a friend:I find Nancy Kenley, Samuel Kenley
and Jim Kenley living with the Stewarts in Vermillion, South Dakota in
1900, but no sign of Andrew Sampson with the Wellses. If they were Sioux,
they might not have made it into the census at all..).. |
