I'll give more information on Richard Kennon Jr soon.   Her father was Col. Robert Bolling, who immigrated from England to Virginia...his birthday is coming up so I'll give info about him soon also!

They are on my Rogers Family Tree, being my 7th great grandparents.

I just saw another tree over at Ancestry which says she married Nicolas Wilkerson in 1728, and another says she married John Wilkerson in 1728.  On one of those trees there are a lot of Wilkerson children.  But when I went back to Ancestry to read more and see if there was any "primary proof" the entire tree wasn't there.  So since Richard Kennon lived until 1735/6, there's little likelihood that Mary Agnes Bolling Kennon became Mrs. Wilkerson in 1728. That's actually the year my ancestor, Mary Kennon Clack, was born to the Kennons!

Today's quote:

A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.
