• Notes

  David moved to Grimsby Ontario 1802, staying until granted a land petition: Land Petition #8/27 David Kenney of Grimsby 24 Nov 1807 ...to his Excellency, Francis Gore, Esquire, Lt. Gov. of Upper Canada ... that your petitioner came into this province six years ago from the Jersies and has a family consisting of a wife and nine children of which 6 are sons, that he has property of the amount of 500 pounds in province currency, has taken the oath of allegiance and is desirous to occupy and improve a lot of Crown land of 200 acres... The land petition was granted in Council 25 November 1807 (RG 1, L3, volume279, K3/27, 4 pages) It is believed that David Kenney was a brother to Peter who came to Grimsby at about the same time. Peter Kenney: b. 1766-1774 in New Jersey, d. Aft. 1822 m. December 13, 1795 to Jane McCowen b. 1771-1774 in Maryland. They had 13 children. It is all but certain David and his brother Peter were descendants of Adrian Pieterse Kinne who emmigrated from the Netherlands in 1660 and resided in Flatbush, Kings, NY and later in New Jersey. Ongoing DNA testing of descendants of both men have resulted in placement in the "Dutch Line" of Kenneys tracing back to Adrian Pieterse Kinne. The exact lineage however is not proven at this time.
