James KENNY 
James was born on December 24th, 1842 in County Wexford, Ireland.1 James' father was Thomas KENNY and his mother was Elenor PURCELL. His paternal grandparents were Bartholomew KENNY and Anne BREEN. He had three brothers and three sisters, named Bartholomew, Richard P, Edward, Anna, Mary and Elenor. He was the second oldest of the seven children. He died due to Car??oma of Bladderr a bone??? at the age of 80 on June 11th, 1923 in Sawyer, Sturgeon Bay, Door, WI. He was buried on June 14th, 1923 in Sturgeon Bay, Door, WI Sevastopol Catholic Cemetery.General Notes
James was a farmer in Nasewaupee, Door Co. WI.
According to the Index to Declaration of Intention for Door County, Wisconsin, his Date of "Intent" was filed on March 30, 1868. He entered the US at the port of Detroit, on April, 1866 and applied for his citizenship in Sturgeon Bay, WI, on Feb. 25, 1976. Name was Spelled KENNEY on both forms that I have. It is possible that it wasnt in his hand, though.
On his marriage certificate, it specifically stated place of birth, County Wexford, Ireland. The same wording was used on his brother Edward's marriage certificate.
He had 8 children by 1990 with 5 living.
It showed on 1900 census that he came to US in 1858. The rest of family came in 1868. I think that is when he came too. This could be an error.
1910 he owned a farm that still had a mortgage.
He lived to 80 years, 5 month, 18 days.

It appears that james Kenny lived with his sister on the Gillick farm, during the time the census was taken on June 14, 1880. He was listed as a border
The Door Co. Who's Who showed he was born in Ireland in 1845. I don't believe this is true.
In the Door County Advocate, June 15th, 1923, it showed:
JAMES KINNEY DEAD
James Kinney, who has been a resident of this county and this city for over 50 years, died in his home in Sawyer on Monday, June 11. Mr. Kinney was born in Ireland, December 24th, 1842 and was 80 years at age of death. He was one of the substantial farmers of the town of Nasewapee until about 10 years ago when he moved to Sawyer to reside. His wife passed away about 3 years ago. Surviving are Edward Kinney, a brother and Mrs. Phillip Gillick, a sister, both of Nasewapee, and several step-children. The funeral services were held at Corpus Christi church yesterday morning.
Many documents were given to Joe Kenny by Christine Surfus on this person.
There was a marriage of a William H. Kenny of Smith Falls, to Mary May Willis on June . 30th, 1909 that was recorded in the index of Bathurst/Perth Courier on July 16th, 1909. Could it be a son of James? I once suspected that he may have been married before Mary Lang, but there is no evidence to this , at all.
Also found in my records in Smith Falls, Ont, was the following, though probably not the same James: This is a bit of piece work, assuming THE MARRIAGE OF JAMES AND ROSE FREIL. The dates marriage dates match with the birth date of James, also all being from the same parish.
