"Henrietta Rasco is said to have intermarried with Jacob Kennihorn, a very poor man, and moved to some place unknown" This is also in the Tyler Quarterlies 79/73, V-L, page 37. There is a Jacob Kinnehorn listed in the Edenton District of Bertie County N.C. in the 1790 Census. I know that some of the Rascoes that were in Northampton County Virginia moved into Bertie and other North-eastern counties of North Carolina about 1750. Also a daughter of Arthur Rasco of Northampton County Virginia married a James Lipsey before November 24, 1724 and they moved to North Carolina having a 500 acre land grant in Onslow County N.C. by September of 1741. I have been unable to identify Henrietta Rasco who married Jacob Kennihorn or find out what became of her. Any info? James R.
