Family and early life
Simon Kenton was born in the Bull Run Mountains of Virginia on April 3, 1755, to Mark Kenton, Sr. (an immigrant from Ireland) and Mary Miller Kenton (whose family was Scots-Welsh in ancestry). Kenton fled into the wilderness of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio, where he went by the name "Simon Butler" for years. At the age of 16, he believed he had killed William Leachman in a jealous rage (the war started over the love of a woman named Ellen Cummins). Kenton took back his original surname after learning that his victim had lived.
