...............................
NOTE:  Hannah Graves was Hannah KENT, daughter of Thomas Kent and Ann Cornell 
Kent of Rhode Island.  The Kents relocated  into Old Albemarle County, then to 
Bath County.  Hannah first married a Smithwick and had two daughters by him 
(daughter, Anne was mentioned in Farnefold Green’s will.).  She then married 
Captain Farnefold Green and had at least six children by him before he was 
murdered at their plantation close to Oriental, NC, during the Tuscarora 
Indian Wars (ca 1712-1714).  Hannah then married Richard Graves and had Thomas 
and Mary Graves by him.  (Mary Graves married Richard Nixon.)  When Richard 
Graves died, Hannah Graves operated a ferry across what is now Streets Ferry, 
which is also close to where her son’s property, Turkey Quarter" is located.  
The date of death of Hannah Kent/Smithwick/Green/Graves/Linnington has yet to 
be discovered, although it was apparently after 1742 - some time after the 
date of George Linnington’s will.

Submitted by Florence Fulford Moore, descendant of Farnefold and Hannah Green, 
through their daughter, Elizabeth.
