• Notes

  Richard Kennon (-1736), named in memory of his dead brother, inherited “Roxdale.” He married Agnes Bolling (30 Nov. 1700 ), a daughter of Robert Bolling and Ann Stith of “Kippax.” The Bristol Parish Register records the births of five children: Ann on 30 Nov. 1721, Richard on 15 April 1712, Robert on 14 April 1727, Mary D. on 29 Jan 1728, and Martha D. born 20 Aug. 1731. Richard was a vestryman of Bristol Parish from as early as 1720 until his death.  When Richard made his will in Henrico County, he held 400 acres on Swift Creek that was to be sold to pay debts, and each of his four daughters was to receive, “one Negro” (will dated 19 Aug. 1735,  recorded 3 May 1736). Henrico Co. Wills & Deeds, 1725-1737, pg. 539. Agnes Kennon paid taxes on three levies and 560 acres in 1736,  on six tithes in 1747,  six in 1756,  and five in 1762.  Pursuant to a decree at the General Court at Williamsburg, Richard Eppes conveyed 400 acres to Agnes Kennon and Robert Kennon of £150 30 April 1755.
