This is a working document comprised of information on the parents of Mary (Miller) Kenton (1714 – 1807), wife of Mark B. Kenton (1701 – 1783), who were William Miller (1681 – 1726) and Mary (Long) Miller (1694 – 1726), of Virginia.
3. Although some Ancestry trees show James Miller (1693 – 1774) and Ann (Cain) Miller (1693 – 1794) of New Garden, Pennsylvania, as Mary (Miller) Kenton’s parents, there is no evidence provided in any Ancestry tree to support those relationships, and analysis reveals that they were not her parents. Mary (Miller) Kenton was born in 1714 or 1711, in Virginia, whereas James Miller (1693 – 1774) married Ann Cain (1693 – 1794) in 1722, in Pennsylvania, having both arrived from Ireland in that same year, 1722. Thus, James and Ann (Cain) Miller did not arrive in North America and get married until at least eight years after Mary (Miller) Kenton’s birth. James and Ann (Cain) Miller remained in Pennsylvania for the remainder of their lives, and among their nine children had a daughter named Mary (Miller) Barnes, who was born in 1724, married Emanuel Barnes in 1746, and lived in Pennsylvania for her entire life. The only thing that James and Ann (Cains) Miller’s daughter Mary (Miller) Barnes had in common with Mary (Miller) Kenton was their maiden names. All other facts of their lives were different. Clearly, James and Ann (Cain) Miller of Pennsylvania were not the parents Mary (Miller) Kenton.
