: : I would recommend reading "The Frontiersmen" by Allan Eckert. It tells the story of Simon Kenton in a very entertaining and readable manner. I was thrilled to learn recently that I am a descendant of his sister, Jane Kenton.:)

: Hi Alysha,
: Scotch-Welsh, eh? There are some pretty good web sites about Simon Kenton's life. Here's one Scott recommended, which we may add a link to: http://www.webpub.com/~jhagee/kenton.html
: It's the Official Simon Kenton Page.
: Another one, which has some interesting tales & historic photos can be found at the link below.

Thanks so much for the link!! The Kenton, Owens, and Shipleys are all a part of my line. I'll pass that along to my kith and kin. Much obliged!!
