William Kenrick (1795-1872) was an American nurseryman. When 28 years of age he was taken into partnership by his father, a pioneer nurseryman, whose gardens were planted in 1790 upon the ground where John Eliot commenced preaching the gospel to the Indians. Perhaps Kenrick will be best remembered on account of his introduction of the mulberry, and the active part he took in the attempt to establish the silk industry in America.
