H9. Howson Francis KENNER was born on 10 May 1712 in St. Stephen, King & Queen, VA. He died on 24 May 1778 in Somerville, Fauquier Co., VA. Notes for HOWSON FRANCIS KENNER: From William W. Grier: In June of 1728 (16 years old), Howson chose John Cralle as his guardian. John Cralle was the 4th husband of Howson's first cousin, Hannah Kenner. He was listed as a voter in Prince William County, Virginia in 1741. It is thought that he settled in that section in 1735. This is part of the Rappahannock watershed that became Fauquier County, Virginia in 1759. He was commissioned Justice of the Peace for Prince William County on November 4, 1742. He was a vestryman of Dettingen Parish in Prince William County on November 27, 1749, along with his cousin Richard Kenner. His home fell into Fauquier County in 1759.

From "The Kenner Family" by Laura Davis Worley. Howson was a vestryman of Dettinger Parish, Prince William County, November 27, 1749. Howson's will, dated April 9, 1778, made Joseph Blackwell, his wife Margaret, and daughter Susannah as the executors. Howson's wife Margaret Eskridge, was a daughter of Col. Eskridge of Sandy Point, Westmoreland County, Virginia. Col. Eskridge's will, probated in 1735, mentions Howson Kenner and wife Margaret. (See the notes of George Eskridge)

Howson's will is dated 9 Apr 1778, Faquier Co., VA pp 358-631. will (Fauquier Co 9Apr1778/28Sep1778). Proved 28 Sep 1778, will book 1 Faquier Co., VA. CURRY DESCENDANTS by Judge Noble K. Littell pp21 ref#426. CURRY DESCENDANTS by Judge Noble K. Littell pp24 ref#852. Virginia Genealogies by Rev Horace Edwin Hayden p83 ref24.

He married Margaret Eskridge in Westmoreland, VA, 1732. Margaret was born in Westmoreland, VA 1715. Margaret was the daughter of Colonel George Eskridge and Rebecca Bonum. Margaret died 08 OCT 1801 in Pauquier, Va, at 86 years of age. Some researchers give her maiden name as Morgan instead of Eskridge. Margaret Eskridge Kenner was a patriot in the Revolutionary War for helping the soldiers. This and prior generations of Kenners lived in the Northern Neck of VA. He died near Somerville at the age of 56.

I read this in a book "The Compendium of American Genealogy"...Howson Kenner was a midshipman in American Revolution. His father was Francis Kenner. Francis was born in 1677; died in 1728

Howson Kenner was a Justice in 1742 and a vestryman of Dettingen Parish in 1749 in Prince William county VA. The will of Howson Kenner was written 9 apr 1778 and proved 28 SPE 1778 in Fauquier county VA.

Exrs Mr Joseph Blackwell and daugher Susannah Wit: Origianl Young, William Pope.

Howson Kenner's grave is in a woods 1/2 mile north and 300 yeards west of Somerville, Fauquier Co, VA, off State Route 616. The epitaph reads: This Drery Vault Stranger Contains the Bod of Capt Howson Kenner Who Descinded To the Dust In A Good Old Age for He Saw from His Loins the third Genrat. He depated hence 24 may 1778 age 66. This stone from a sece of his goodness is humbly dedicated to his memory by his youngst son Rodham Kenner." The grave is on land he purchased from Willlam Hackney, 28 mar-1763. Only a few stones and bricks remain from the house which stood a few hundred feet from the grave. Only the one grave is now in evidence. His grave was dedicated to him by his son Rodham and it says: "This dreary vault, stranger, contains the body of Catain Howson Kenner who descended to the dust on a good old age, for he saw from his lions the third generation. He departed hence 24th of May 1778 age 64. This stone form a sense of his goodness is humbly dedicated to his memory by his youngest son, Rodham Kenner."
