Dan Kenney, Jr. (III,) was the first born child and son of Daniel Kenney, Jr. and Elizabeth Stockwell. He was known in Sutton legal records as Jr., but really was the third in order of birth of one Dan begat of the previous.

Daniel married Abigail Davis listed as of "Western" (soon to be known as Warren, Mass.) in Sutton on 29 April 1751.

They had four children all born in Sutton, the oldest three, Daniel, IV, Richard, and Jethro, all lived to adulthood. The youngest child, a daughter Rose-ann born 11 Dec 1757, is not found in any further records as an adult, nor does a death record exist in Vital's.

Daniel served in the French and Indian War in the 1758 campaign against Ft. Carillon, the future Ft. Ticonderoga. Daniel's death is not found in Early Vital Records, but is found in his Probate record. His widow Abigail petitioned the Worcester Co. court on 13 Sept 1758 to be the executor of his estate. The actual Battle of Ft. Carillon occurred on 8th July 1758. While we don't definitively know if Daniel saw service there, the accounting of his estate expenses included the cost of two men to bring his body home from Albany to Sutton, and his burial there. It is safe to say that he would have actually died in Aug of 1758. It would be proper to place him in the Sutton Center Cemetery and would make sense if he was near his father and two siblings who predeceased him.

His widow Abigail went on to marry two more times.
