This was the homesite of my great9-grandparents, Col. Richard Kennon (?-ca. 1696) and Elizabeth Worsham Kennon (ca. 1651-ca. 1743). The original home burned, but the present one was built on its foundation. The surrounding neighborhood retains the name. Interestingly, my stepmother, her ex-husband, and their daughter lived on Conduit Road, the main thoroughfare leading into this neighborhood, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, before I knew my mother's ancestors were rooted in that neighborhood and probably owned land extending up to Conduit Road.
