Looking for Roger Kenyon of Perquimans County

I had been convinced that I was the last of the Kinions until one December evening 40 years ago when a man with the same name as my father knocked on my door. As we have all discovered, no one is the last of anything. Since then then I have been to many family reunions and the family is actually quite large. Our branch is one which traces back through Missouri to Perquimans County in North Carolina before the revolution. Of course, at that time the name was Kenyon. That is where a brick wall stands which is thus far too tall for me to see over. Another branch of Kenyons migrated from England to Block Island in the territory of Rhode Island and is convincingly descended from Roger Kenyon, Governor of the Isle of Man. The family researchers in Utah have assured us that the North Carolina Kenyons and the Rhode Island Kenyons are all the same bunch but the dates, religions etc. don't work except for a few Kenyons that can be traced to New Bern and Edenton, NC and have been accounted for. The Perquimans County Kenyons were Quakers who did not accept men with military backgrounds such as the Edenton Kenyons.
Faced with the blockage, I visited the Family History Research Center in Preston, England looking for other Kenyons who may have emigrated to North Carolina. I found such a candidate who was born in Accrington, Lancashire County, England in 1681. Roger Kenyon, son of William Kenyon. While there are birth records for both him and his sister as well as the death records of his sister and father, there is no record of him in his father's will. That is where I sit now. Did he go to sea for 20 years and then settle in North Carolina where our story next finds him or is there a totally new person out there waiting to be heard from?
