Charles Snell Kensington

Brother of John Larkins Kensington (q.v.) and probably a beneficiary of the award for the enslaved people on the Lure estate in Tobgo. Trustees under the will of the brothers' father, Charles Kensington, (under which Charles Snell Kensington was a beneficiary) contested the claim of John Larkins Kensington as executor.
