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..)..
