Son of Edward Kenrick (1613 - 1654), merchant of Rotterdam and of the City of London, and Susanna {Cranmer} Kenrick (1621 - 16), his wife, daughter of William Cranmer, Esquire, Deputy of the English Merchants at Rotterdam in Holland. She was a grand-daughter of the Reverend Thomas Cranmer (1535 - 1604), Registrar of the Archdeacon's Court at Canterbury [not to be confused with Thomas Cranmer (1489 - 1556), Archbishop of Canterbury in the time of Henry VIII, and who, although he married and had two children, had no descendants]
John Kenrick, the eldest son of the above Edward and Susanna, was born in 1652, possibly in Rotterdam. Following in his father's path, he too was a merchant of London
On November 17, 1681, John married Sarah Trott, daughter and coheir of Perient Trott Esquire, merchant of London. After their marriage, they resided at Flore, in the parish of Godstone, Surrey
In 1697, John's maternal uncle, Sir William Cranmer, made him executor and principal heir, leaving to John the Cranmer family estate in Kent, which remained in the hands of the Kenrick line for several generations without ever being increased or diminished in extent
Mrs Sarah {Trott} Kenrick died on December 6, 1699, three hours after the birth of her fifteenth child, in the 36th year of her age (born about 1664)
Of his fifteen children, two (who were both named Edward) died before him. The other thirteen survived him, and eleven of them were married. His sons were educated at the Merchant Taylor's School in London, with which their Cranmer ancestors had been associated from its foundation. The most notable of his children was the Reverend Dr Scawen Kenrick
John Kenrick survived his wife by nearly thirty years, and died at his house in Turnwheel-lane, Dowgate-Hill, London, at midnight on March 2nd, 1729, aged 77 years. He was buried in the churchyard of Saint Mary Bothaw on March 8th following
His memory was held in high esteem by his descendants, who regarded him as the second founder of the family, and who had his portrait engraved for distribution amongst them. The original portrait was destroyed in the fire at Covant Gardens, but several copies of the engraving survived in the possession of later members of the Kenrick family
