Obituary of Rose Edwin White Kenney
From The Windsor Ledger, Volume 31, Windsor, N. C., Thursday September 9, 1915, Page 1. Copy from Department of Cultural Resources, State of North Carolina, Raleigh 27601-2807. Abstracted by Lynn Hopewell.
At sunset on Saturday last this gentle lady passed from earth to the gracious promise of eternal life. She so spent her days in life as to assure her of her life beyond the grave. "Blessed assurance Jesus is mine."
Mrs. Kenney came to make here home in Bertie county in December 1886. She was not a stranger to North Carolina. In 1587 her ancestor in a direct line was Governor of Sir Walter Raleigh's Colony on Roanoke Island. There her kinswoman gave birth to Virginia Dare.
Her cousin, Gen. William Dorsey Pender, was the bravest of the brave in the Confederacy. Her North Carolina relatives, Col. R. H. Bridgers, Col. John L. Bridgers, Dr. W. B. Mercer and the Penders, all of Edgecombe county, have been foremost in the social business and civic life of her adopted state.
She was the close kinswoman of honorable and useful Virginia families, Mannings, Cassells, Matthews, Herberts Barclays, Hodges and Boteteauts. In 1867 she married Dr. Stephen Bartlett Kenney of Maine, a descendant of Josiah Bartlett, who was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence on the part of the State of New Hampshire. Dr. Kenney died Christmas day 1907.
On the 30th day of May, 1889, this good couple came into my life. On that day 1 married their only daughter, Rose Mary Kenney. Since the burial of her husband Mrs. Kenney has lived in my home. I brought her there from the funeral of her husband.
Mrs. Kenney was a communicant in full fellowship in St. Thomas' Episcopal church. She was buried by the side of her husband in that sacred church yard. Rt. Rev Thomas C. Darst, Bishop of East Carolina, read the burial service. Her young friends who had been most deferential to her in life, and to whom she was greatly attached bore her body into the church where she had loved to commune and gently placed it to rest by the side of her husband. She has never been the name person since Dr. Kenney's death. Her heart was in the church yard with him. They were one again.
Her pall bearers were: Maj. Fred M. Dunstan, H. M. Bell, Jerry O. Mitchell, Josesh B. Cherry, George M. Holder, Thomas Gillum, Jr., Claude Pierce, Philemon M. Allan, J. T. Stokes.
The following were her honorary pall-hearers: Dr. Leslie B. Evans, Dr. Charles J. Sawyer, Jesse B. Stokes, Hon. Thomas Gillam, Rev L. D. Hayman, W. S. Hayes, P. H. Sessoms, Frank Allen, T. C. Bond, R. W. Askew, Sr., W. L. Lyon, J. H. Matthews, E. W. Gray, J. B. Gray.
Her's was a most beautiful life A gentleman who has known her a quartet of a century, sitting by her bedside as she passed away tearfully said, "She passes out of life as she lived in it, quiet, peaceable and gentle."
A friend of Mrs. Winston writes "My memories of her are all pleasant, a gentle, kind, affectionate, industrious wife and mother, a typical woman."
Letters and telegrams and flowers have come to us from those near and dear, in this and other states. They lighten the crushing burden of our grief.
I never knew a word of anger to escape her lips. I never heard her speak in disparagement of any living creature. I never heard a word of scandal spoken by her or traced to her. Her devotion to those she loved was tender and gentle, but strong and unmovable. I am happy that I dwelt in her love.
The constant attention and devotion of our friends here have greatly comforted and strengthened us. I must pay a word of heartfelt gratitude for myself and wife to Dr. Leslie B. Evans for his constant professional and friendly attention. Our hours of sorrow were lifted when he cane to our anxious hearts.
Mrs. Kenney's only children are too well known to require a statement as to who they are, Mrs. Francis D. Winston and Mr. Stephen W. Kenney, James Newell Kenney, a lawyer who died ten years ago, was her oldest son.
During Mrs. Kenney's long illness she was tenderly and constantly waited on by Lucy Stone, a former servant of my family. It was a beautiful service she rendered.
Mrs. Kenny took small part in public duty. Her work was in her home, around her fireside, with her associates, friends and loved ones. She loved the beautiful and the good; birds and flowers charmed her senses. The animals and fowls flocked around her when she came in view. Her's was a profitable and beautiful life. It is hard therefore to give her up. We shall see her again is our belief and our prayer. She is waiting for us. FRANCIS D. WINSTON.

Events
1. Residence 62, came to, 1637 in Virginia
In tracing the lineage of Elizabeth Etheredge, wife of John Portlock I and the mother of John II we go back to the little nest of new-comers in which the Manning resided a century earlier and find that with the marriage of James Hodges I and Mary Portlock the families of several neighbors on Gaythers Creek joined hands.2. Deed 2613, granted 450 acres at mouth of Gaythers Creek, 1654 in Norfolk Co., Virginia
Thomas White came to this neighborhood in 1637.
Thomas White was already living in Va., before he, with Peter Sexton, were granted 450 acres at the mouth of Gaythers Creek in 1654 (p. 247 of Cavaliers & Pioneers). He was no doubt the Thomas White who was headright of Thomas Sawyer 10 Mary 1637 when Sawyer patented 250 acres two miles up the East Branch of Elizabeth River for importation of White and four others. Mary White ages 17 in 1651 was probably unmarried and daughter of Thomas (Witnesses will in Lower Norfolk).3. Deed 2613, sold 300 acres on Julian's Creek to John Manning, 1669 in Norfolk Co., Virginia
It was land on Julian's Creek that was deeded by John Manning in 1669 and described as being part of 300 acres bought of Thomas White.

Notes
General:
It would be interesting to know if these Whites: Thomas, John, and Richard, who were living in Lower Norfolk in 1645, and Nicholas who was transported to near-by Isle of Wight Co. by Edward Rogers, May 14, 1636 (p. 82 C & P) were sons or grandsons of John White who headed the ill-fated first English settlement in the North American continent in 1585. This was on Roanoke Island in Currituck Bay barely south of what is the Norfolk Co., Va. boundary. Virginia Dare, first white child born in America, was White's granddaughter and of course was lost with her father and mother and the entire colony while White was in England pleading for ships to take food and relief to his settlers on Roanoke Island. 2613
