From there the line continues a few more generations to me (I was born in 1972).

If you know something to the contrary, I'd be very happy to see it, but it would mean that I don't exist! (Plus, my lineage to Rand White via Mehetable White was verified by the DAR via my paternal great-grandmother's application.)

Lyman married Eveline Sanger Lamb on 2 Oct 1844 in Bolton, Worcestor, MA.

Lyman next married Electa Wilder Southwick,³⁴ daughter of David Southwick and Polly Coolidge, on 8 Sep 1846 in Northborough, Worcester, MA.

Marriage Notes: Massachusetts Marriage Index, 1633-1850 lists marriage twice - once in Bolton, Worcester, MA on 8/9/1846 and the second in Northborough, Worcester, MA as listed in the record. Bolton Vital Statistics, p. 108 lists 8/9/1846 as the date that the intention to marry was published.

General Notes: As told by Robert Babcock: Electra was the youngest of nine children. The family was not a wealthy one so when a woman from a more "well-to-do" family named Mrs. Wilder offered to raise Electra, her family consented. Apparently, Mrs. Wilder had no daughters and wanted one very badly.

Per 1900 Census for Bolton, she was listed as head of the household, age 73 and widowed. Of a total of 8 children she bore, 5 were still living at the time of the Census.

1180 M vii. Ezra Ammi Balcom was born on 17 Oct 1863 and died after 1910.

1181 F viii. Emeline Sarah Balcom was born on 25 Oct 1866.

Philip Arnold Babcock remembers that his brother, Robert Ellis Babcock , took their Aunt Emeline for a ride in a plane while he was working at the Bolton Airport.

General Notes: Kelsey is buried in Upper York Cemetery in a lost or unmarked grave. Kelsey married his second wife, Clarissa 22 Aug1861 Carroll Co IL. Clarissa's marriage to Kelsey was her third. She was the second wife of Kelsey's brother Daniel B. Kinyon, and prior to that was married to Lyman B. Tomlinson, (probably in NY as there is no record of that marriage in Carroll Co, IL). Clarissa's known children by that marriage are: Burwell, bn 1830; Rockwell, bn 1832; Mary A, bn 1834; and Amos B., bn 1852, d 1930. Clarissa and Kelsey had no children. Clarissa Kinyon, 48, is shown living on a farm in the 1860 York Twp, Carroll Co census, with her son Amos Tomlinson, 8. At the time of the 1860 census Kelsey was living with his son Freeman.
Lucy (Balcom) Kenyon is buried in Upper York Cemetary in Argo-Fa. A record from Book 1, Page 16, Frank's Funeral Home of Mt Carroll, IL, (now owned by Law-Jones Funeral Homes, Inc, Savanna, IL), shows that "Kelsy" Kenyon was buried in York Cem. However, no stone can be found, nor is there a cemetary record of the burial place.
In the Census of 1830 he was living in Hague, NY with a son and daughter under 5 years of age. He settled in Carroll County Illinois about 1843. In the 1850 census Kelsey is shown living in Harlem (York) Twp. age 46, with wife Lucy 42, Freeman 21, Delancy 19, Hannah14, William 12, Hiram 10, Elliott 8, Sarah J. 5, and Albert R. 1. In the 1860 census Kelsey is shown living with his son Freeman. At that time the census also shows that Sarah J. 14, was living with William and Helen Densmore, and Albert R. 12, living with Ira L. and Virginia Bailey. In the 1870 Census, Carroll Co., York Twp., p 293, lines 25-27: (now living with his 2nd wife Clarissa), "Kelsey Kenyon, 67, farmer, real estate $3000, personal val. $500" The
1880 census shows him living with his daughter Hannah, who was married to John H Carpenter. Mrs Ivan Clearwaters of Marion, IA shared a record of a news item in the Savanna Journal: l: "Uncle Kelsey Kenyon, aged 89 years, died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. J. H. Carpenter, Monday, at 2 PM. He was prostrated to his bed Friday, and with very little suffering, ended his days, and passed away peacefully to the other shore. He was one of the old settlers that came here at an early day, and had made his home here ever since. His funeral was held Wednesday, January 27, at the M. E. Church and interred in the Argo Cemetary. He died January 24, 1892 at Argo, Illinois." Though I did a search of the original Savanna Journal issues, this newspaper account can not be substantiated.

In the 1878 History of Carroll County, his brothers Phineas and Nathan are listed as residents of Carroll Twp., so they too, came west; Phineas apparently in 1843. (See pp 408-409.) Kelsey's brother Daniel B. Kenyon and his sons came in 1838, (p 258). In this same book, Kelsey is listed (p 422) as living on a farm in Section 10, York Twp., Argo post office. His sons are listed thus on p 421: Albert, farm, Sec. 3; Delancy, mechanic; Elliott R., farm, Sec. 2; and on p 422; Hiram, farm, Sec. 3. All in Argo, York Twp. Freeman, of course was not listed, having died in 1875. However, Freeman's son Frederick P. is listed on p 421 thus: Kenyon, Fred, farm; Sec. 24; P.O. Argo.

Kelsey was registered with the Illinois State Genealogical Society as a "Prairie Pioneer" by Richard B. Groharing, his 3 great-grandson.
