William Kenney was born October 10, 1768, in Waxhaw Settlement, S.C. Applied for a pension in Morgan County, Ala., November 22, 1832, at the age of sixty-four. His pension was rejected. He stated that he did not remember the year that he enlisted but that it was while Lord Rawdon was encamped at Camden. He resided in Waxhaw District, now Lancaster District, S.C., and served under General Sumpter, Col. Frederick Kimball, Maj. Thomas Thompson, Capt. George Dunlap. He was in no regiment or battalion but was in several skirmishes. He entered as a volunteer. He also states that he guided part of Gates' defeated men back to Charlotte, N.C. When he returned home he found that the Tories were looking for him so he returned to Charlotte, N.C. and again volunteered, serving in Capt. George Dunlap's Company with Lt. Andrew McIlvain.
