• Notes

  Col. William Kennon (1688-1751) married Ann Eppes 19 June 1711 in Henrico County. She was the daughter of Francis Eppes and Ann Isham. The Bristol Parish Register recorded the birth of five children: Richard Kennon (15 April 1712), William Kennon (9 Feb. 1713/1714), Francis Kennon (3 Sept. 1715), Henry Isham Kennon (22 April 1718), John Kennon (20 Dec. 1721) In 1717, William Kennon patented land in Henrico for the importation of John Brown, David Camell, John Whorly, Mary Brown, Cha. Gibson, Fran. Merryman, David Maybank, John Wooldredg, James Pentha, and Matthew Ford. Col. William Kennon paid taxes in Henrico County on 21 levies and 4,255? acres in 1736 and on 10 tithables in 1747.  He also had a quarter in Amelia County from 1737.  Col. Kennon “departed this life in 1751,” so said the will of James Cromer who wanted to be buried nearby.  Chesterfield Co. Will Book 1, pg. 295. Richard Kennon presented his will 7 October 1752 but refused to serve as executor.  In 1745 Richard Kennon of Charles City County and William Kennon Jr. of Henrico County sold several tracts on covering more than 9,800 acres on Cub Creek in present-day Charlotte County.  Ann and Elizabeth Kennon relinquished their dower right in the land. Brunswick Co. Deed Book 4, pg. 1, 4, 24, 27, 31, 41, 44, 48, 51, 55, 58, 62, 66, 70. William was a vestryman of Bristol Parish from as early as 1720 to 1735 when his name disappears from the vestry book pages,  vestryman of Dale Parish, justice of Henrico County in 1710,  and a colonel in the militia.
