Hello . . . I can find no record of a town in Oklahoma called Kenya. We do have many small townships with strange names, so it is likely something similar. It's possible the town is actually Kinta, which is in Haskell County. I found the following information in the 1920 U.S. Census for San Bois, Haskell County, Oklahoma: Samuel W. Cole, male, head of household, white, can read and write, age 24, married, rents his home, born in Oklahoma, parents born in Arkansas; Enna Cole, wife, age 22, born in Oklahoma; Inez Cole, daughter, age 1 year, born in Oklahoma; Martha Jane Cole, mother, age 59, born in Arkansas. If you go to familysearch.org and search for Samuel W. Cole specifically in Oklahoma, you will find this and lots of other data that may or may not pertain to this family. Good luck!
My Grandfather was Samuel Walter Cole. He was born in Keota, Oklahoma in 1896. His wife was Eunice Mae Coon. They called her "Eunie". Both of my grandparents died in Riverside, CA, and are buried there. Grandpa died in (I believe) 1964 and my Grandmother in 1984 I think.
My father was Doyle H. Cole. His Sisters were Betty and Inez. His brothers were RB, Way. and Ron.
