Kenny's Land in Hand County, South Dakota[edit]

[Kenny's father, Jacob Booher Linn,] left his farm [in Shelby] in the hands of his son, McKendree, in 1881, and moved to Hand County, South Dakota, where, taking up 480 acres, he remained for four years. He then placed his Dakota land in the hands of his sons, Ambrose and McKendree, who now own 800 acres and control about 3,000 more as a ranch. Returning to Shelby, he remained there until his decease, in 1893.[7]

As of 1912, Kenny owned several tracts of land in Linn Township, Hand County, South Dakota[8]:
