- NEHGS 6 September 2017: Nil
Kennebec County Probate: Extracted
War of 1812 Pension: Nil
Readex: Several instances of administration of his estate. The earliest 9 April 1814 in the American Advocate, Hallowell
It is a great coincidence that one Benjamin Kenney moved out of Balltown, and another Benjamin Kenney of the same age moved to Jefferson. Benjamin Kenney m Elizabeth Dow is clearly the same who lived at Balltown in 1777.
