• Notes

  Farnifold Green married Hannah Kent, whose first husband was JohnSmithwick. They had at least one child, a daughter Ann Smithwick,referred in Farnifold Green’s will above as his “daughter in law,”evidently meaning in today’s legal terminology that she was hisstep-daughter. Hannah Kent’s parents were Thomas Kent and Ann CornellKent. Ann Kent married Thomas Lepper after her first husband’s death,thought to have been during an attack by Tuscarora Indians. Ann Lepperwas murdered by the Tuscaroras during the 1713-14 Indian War. HannahKent Smithwick Green later married Richard Graves and had at least twochildren by him. She also ran the ferry across a tributary of the NeuseRiver not far from Turkey Quarter on the Old Washington Post Road in whatis now Craven County after Graves’s death. Her last husband was GeorgeLinnington; they had no children. She is thought to have died after1742. Hannah Graves was Hannah KENT, daughter of Thomas Kent and Ann CornellKent of Rhode Island. The Kents relocated into Old Albemarle County,then to Bath County. Hannah first married a Smithwick and had twodaughters by him (daughter, Anne was mentioned in Farnefold Green’swill.). She then married Captain Farnefold Green and had at least sixchildren by him before he was murdered at their plantation close toOriental, North Carolina, during the Tuscarora Indian Wars (ca 1712-1714). Hannahthen married Richard Graves and had Thomas and Mary Graves by him. (MaryGraves married Richard Nixon.) When Richard Graves died, Hannah Gravesoperated a ferry across what is now Streets Ferry, which is also close towhere her son’s property, Turkey Quarter" is located. The date of deathof Hannah Kent/Smithwick/Green/Graves /Linnington has yet to bediscovered, although it was apparently after 1742 - some time after thedate of George Linnington’s will. (Submitted by Florence Fulford Moore,descendant of Farnefold and Hannah Green, through their daughter,Elizabeth.)
