As mentioned in the will Francis Kenner had three children. Rodham who later became Fev. Rodham, born September 28, 1707 and died about 1735 in Caroline county Virginia and married Judith Beverly, daughter of Harry Beverly. After Rev. Rodham Kenner died, Dorothy Roy, mother of Thomal Roy, a man that did not have much success in business adventure, engeneered a marriage to Judith Beverly Kenner, who through her inheritance from the Beverly's was one of the richest wonen in the county.

After the marriage to Judith, Thomas Roy justified his mother's faith because he not only succeeded in gaining control of all of Judith's property, but also embezzled trust funds belonging to her young son by the Rev. Kenner, without getting caught. Her son's name was George, and to save his inheiratance from Thomas Roy and Dorothy _________ , the court transferred custody of George's proporty from his mother to his Uncle, Howson Kenner. George Kenner died a rich man in 1772, and his widow, Margaret, promptly remarried.
