"My name is Carol St Pierre & I live in New Ipswich NH.
Jonathan's son Samuel Kinney Sr and his son Samuel Jr are buried on my property here. I live on what was once part of the farm Samuel had. The farm still exists with about 90 acres except for a few pieces that were carved out over the years which is why I have this property.
You mention family lore says they both died of smallpox in the war at the same time. That is true except for the part about it being in the war. Here is an excerpt from the New Ipswich 1852 town history:
"Samuel Kinney was here before 1762; he was several times elected a selectman and held other town offices. With several adult sons he resided on the Capt. Bailey farm. He was among those who took an active part in the Shaker meetings. During the summer of 1777 he and his son Samuel were engaged as carpenters in erecting for Col. Thomas Heald what has since been known as the Estabrook Tavern, when they both took the small-pox from a discharged soldier, and died. They were buried near the road, between the brick school-house and the river."
That is exactly where it is.
I've been doing my family trees for several years but it never dawned on me till recently that their descendants probably don't know where they are buried. I've lived here all my life (64 years) so have always known their grave though most people don't know it is there except for the town sextons who always place a flag on it. There isn't a stone but a metal marker which seems to be brass with their name Samuel Kinney on it, it appears to be made for soldiers. I would think it isn't the original, but who knows. If you would like I can take a picture of it and send it to you.

_____________________________
The son of THOMAS & ELIZABETH (KNIGHT) KINNE, he married Rebecca Nourse, daughter of Samuel & Mary (Smith) Nourse on Dec. 21, 1709 in Salem.
"Jonathan and Rebecca initially lived in Boxford the section that soon became Middleton, and shared a house with his brother Daniel Kinne/Kenney Sr. Daniel bought out Jonathan's share of the home and property and Jonathan and his wife Rebecca and their children born up to that time frame moved to Sutton Ma circa mid 1720's, as also did his Uncle Henry Kenney Jr., and Jonathan's nephew Daniel Kenney Jr.
Jonathan's exact date of death is not known, but he wrote his will on the 10th of March 1731 and the inventory of his estate was performed on 16 July 1731 and Jonathan was listed as being "late", and the will was registered and accepted in the essentially brand new County of Worcester Court 9 Aug. 1731, and approved the next day the 10th. His burial spot is subjective, he could have easily been buried in Sutton in the relatively "new" town center cemetery, or brought back to Salem/Danvers in the Wadsworth that is on his Grandfather Henry Kene's original land and buried next to his parents there. Wherever he is, it is not marked with a permanent legible stone.
Jonathan's wife Rebecca remarried to Benjamin Wheelock of Mendon Ma., also a widower, on 21 Aug. 1740 in Sutton. There were no children born of this union. Benjamin died in Mendon on 13 Sept. 1746. Rebecca's exact date and place of death is unknown, the last citation record of her being alive is when she requested her brother Ebenezer Nurse to be the administrator of her son Jonathan Kenney Jr.'s estate on 22 Jan. 1757 after his death in 1756 in the French and Indian War. She would have been 69 years old at that time.
Jonathan and Rebecca had 9 children of record:
(1) Jonathan Jr. B 20 Apr. 1712 in Boxford and was baptized on 8 June 1712 in Salem. Jonathan married Prudence Gale, lived in Sutton and Oxford and died in the French and Indian War in 1756.
(2) Rebecca B 29 July 1714 in Boxford. Baptized in Salem 20 Sept. 1714. She is mentioned in her father's will of 1731 and she would have been almost 17 years of age. No further record found by this researcher at this time.
(3) Thomas B 19 March 1716 in Boxford and baptized on 2 Sept. 1716 in Salem. Thomas is last found by available citation being mentioned in his father's will, he would have been 15 at that time.
(4) Nathan B probably also in Boxford/Middleton but not recorded, but was baptized on 2 Mar. 1718 in Salem. He lived in Sutton and married a Mary ?, and they had 4 children, Thomas, Mary, Nathan Jr. and Lydia. Nathan as a Sgt died in the French and Indian War in 1756 at Lake George NY.
(5) Samuel Kinney (name spelling change as he was listed in his will and his male children became) Bap. 12 June 1720 in Salem MA. Samuel married Lydia Whitney in Concord Ma. on 17 Aug 1744. They lived in Dunstable both MA and NH and finally settled in New Ipswich NH. Samuel's exact date of death is not known to this researcher at this time, but his will was written on 8 Dec 1775 and listed himself as of sound body as well as mind, probably in preparation before leaving for the war, as he did serve. The will was probated on 27 Aug 1777. Some family historians have him dying of small pox in the war as well as his son Samuel Jr. at the same time.
(6) Eunice B circa 1724 in Massachusetts, but no written birth record in either Boxford or Sutton. She married on 11 Dec 1744 in Oxford Ma. to Aaron Gleason, and they had 6 children of record. They removed to Rowe Franklin Co. MA and Gleason family history lists Eunice's death as 6 July 1792 in Rowe.
(7) Elizabeth B circa 1726 most likely in Sutton but no confirmed vital record exists. She married in Oxford Ma in June 1744 to Ebenezer Gale Jr. Ebenezer Jr. was a brother-in-law to Elizabeth's brother Jonathan Kenney Jr. The Gale's raised a large family in Oxford Ma. Elizabeth's husband also served in the French and Indian War.
(8) Henry B circa 1728 in Sutton, but record not found in Early Vital Records. His birth year is surmised from his age listed on his Guardianship paperwork in Aug 1744 listed as age of 16, and also from his service record in the French and Indian War. He was listed as living in Dunstable and born in Sutton , and was probably living with his older brother Samuel at the time. Henry also was killed during the French and Indian War.
(9) Mary B circa 1731 in Sutton but record not found in Early Vital Records. She married Jonathan Stockwell Jr/3rd. of and in Sutton on 10 May 1753. They had at least 3 children of record in Sutton.
