Note:
Posted by Jack Kinner on April 01, 1999 at 17:47:54: The
Kenner/Kinner/all spellings originated in the Pictish race who
arrived in Scotland from northwest France in the 15th century
B.C. It is one of the oldest recognized as the founders of the
British Isle. The name began to appear in writings such as
the Chronicles of the Pics and Scots, the Exchequer Rolls of
Scotland (1264-1513),The Ragman Rolls (1291-1296), the Black
Book of the Exchequer,in Fifeshire well before the Norman
Conquest and the arrival of Duke William of Hastings in 1066
A.D. The name emerged as a Scotish Clan and appeared as
MacEnnor,MacEnnir, and MacEnnire as well as other spellings for
nearly two centuries.Scribes and Churches usually selected
their own spelling based on what they thought it should be.
During the 16th and 17th centuries Scotland was ravaged by
religous conflict. Many Scots fled and dropped the Mac in favor
of a less hostile spelling.Thus
Kennor/Kenner/Kinner/Kinnear/etc. Richard Kenner/Elizabeth
Rodham (Rodden,Rodein,Roden etc.) connection through William
Kennor, is thought to be from the MacEnnor Clan of Fifeshire.

VI.May it be a memento to all his posterity to look upward, and "seek the things which are above." On the back of the original copy of this armorial document are the following words, in a bold hand, such as was common in those days:--"The coat of arms of Colonel William Ball, who came from England with his family about the year 1650, and settled at the mouth of Corotoman River, in Lancaster county, Virginia, and died in 1669, leaving two sons, William and Joseph, and one daughter, Hannah, who married Daniel Fox. William left eight sons, (and one daughter,) five of whom have now (Anno Domini 1779) male issue. Joseph's male issue is extinct. General George Washington is his grandson, by his youngest daughter, Mary. Colonel Burgess Ball is the only child of Jeduthun, who was the third and youngest son of James, the third son of said William." On the tombstones around the church there is no inscription of the first William Ball or any of his children, but only of his grandchildren and other descendants. The first is over the grave of David Ball, seventh son of Captain William Ball, who was born in 1686. The others are the tombstones of Mildred Ball, Jeduthun Ball, Mary Ann Ball, daughter of the Rev. John Bertrand, of Jesse Ball, of Mary Ball, daughter of Edwin Conway, of James Ball, her husband, of William Ball, "who died in a steadfast faith in Christ and full hope of a joyful resurrection," of James Ball and Fanny, his wife, daughter of Raleigh, and Frances Downman, of Lettuce, third wife of James Ball, and daughter of Richard Lee, of Ditchley, of Colonel James Ball, of James Ball, second son of James and Mary.
Old Churches Ministers, and Families of Virginia.
VI.P.S.--Since the above was written I have received a communication from a friend who has looked into the earliest records of Lancaster county, when Middlesex and Lancaster were one. They go back to 1650. A few years after this, in the absence of a vestry, the court appointed the Rev. Samuel Cole the minister of the whole county on both sides of the river. This is the same minister who appears on the vestry-book of Middlesex in the year 1664. The court also appointed churchwardens and sidesmen, as in the English Church, on both sides of the river. They were John Taylor, William Clapham, John Merryman, Edmund Lurin, George Kibble, and William Leech. Other names also appear on the records, as Thomas Powell, Cuthbert Powell, Edward Digges, W. Berkeley, Robert Chewning, Henry Corbyn, David Fox, John Washington, of Westmoreland. In the year 1661, a general vestry is formed, and Mr. John Carter, Henry Corbyn, David Fox, and William Leech, are appointed to take up subscriptions for the support of the minister. They were chosen from each side of the river. An instance is recorded at this early period of a man being fined five thousand pounds of tobacco by the court for profane swearing.
