(10) Portrait & Biographical Album DeKalb County, Illinois 1885 via Ancestry.com, entry for George M. Kinyon.
... "For his second wife Mr. K. was wedded, Oct 22, 1849, to Mrs. Nancy P., widow of John ADKINSON, who died Feb. 19, 1847, in Dearborn Co., Ind. He was born in Switzerland County, that State, in 1823. His daughter, Vesta A., who was born three weeks after his death, was his only child, and now lives in Washington Co., Kan. Mrs KINYON was born April 14, 1827, in the town of Philips, Franklin Co., Maine, the daughter of William Peace WHITNEY, -- her father having been so named because he was born on the day peace was declared at the close of the Revolutionary War. He was born in Cumberland Co., Mass. [e.d., later Maine, but was not a separate state until 1820], and died Dec. 29, 1863, at Cortland. Her mother, Nancy J., nee CARLTON, is living in Washington Co., Kan., with her son George, a farmer. She was born Nov. 30, 1806, in Cumberland Co., Mass [e.d., later Maine, but it was not a separate state until 1820]."
"By the second marriage of Mr. KINYON there have been three children, as follows: John William, born Aug. 31, 1850; Dexter D., Oct. 8, 1854; and Lydia G., May 18, 1857."
