     Richard Ireland Jones married Susanna Carroll Tilghman, daughter of Col. Edward Lloyd Tilghman and Juliana Carroll, in 1785 or 1786.^1,2 Kennersley is one of the largest and grandest 18th century houses in Queen Anne's County. Constructed circa 1785-98 by Richard Ireland Jones, this five-part house is an excellent example of high style design with clear evidence of the influence of contemporary pattern books. The size and elegance of the house are a reflection of the aspirations and accomplishments of Richard Jones and of his wife Susanna, daughter of Colonel Edward Tilghman, a leading figure in Queen Anne's County in the latter part of the 18th century. In overall form, Kennersley is somewhat unusual in that the hyphens are set flush with the south facade of the main block and the flanking wings. As a result, the central block has a somewhat unusual plan, consisting of a wide stair hall stretching across the front or south facade, allowing ready access to the hyphens. The principal first floor rooms open off the hall to the north, with a view of Southeast Creek, Island Creek, and Chester River. Particular details worthy of note include the gracefully curving stair in the southwest corner of the front hall, the superb mantels and the bold, crossetted architrave trim in the central block. It is also interesting to note that the flanking wings were constructed first and that the main house and the hyphens were then filled in, completing the five part plan.
Kennersley was constructed circa 1785-1798 by Richard Ireland Jones, a notable figure in the history of Queen Anne's County. Jones came to Maryland in 1784 as a representative of the family of Robert Eden, last colonial governor of Maryland. Eden had been forced to leave Maryland shortly before the Revolution, and following the peace settlement had returned to Maryland to attempt to salvage some of the "wrecked fortune" of Frederick, Lord Baltimore. In 1784 Eden died, however, and Richard Ireland Jones, a relative by marriage, was sent to complete the task. He first settled in Annapolis and then moved to Queen Anne's County to join his brother, Dr. Alfred Jones. In 1785 or 1786 he married Susannah Carroll Tilghman, the daughter of Edward and Julianna Tilghman, one of the most prominent families in Queen Anne's County. At the time of their marriage Susanna Tilghman owned a tract of 500 acres on South East Creek, near Church Hill. It was here that Richard Ireland Jones built Kennersley. In 1798, the Federal Direct Tax listed Richard I. Jones as the owner of part of Tullies Delight, "on Island Creek neare the mouth." Included is the following description, which clearly shows that Kennersley was by then complete:
Richard I. Jones, part of Tullies Delight
1 dwelling house 2 stories 35 x 35 2 brick covered passages leading to the wings, 1 of the wings 18 x 18 the other 35 x 18 brick meat house 10 x 10 stable 30 x 18 Richard and Susannah had one child, Arthur Tilghman Jones, born about the year 1787. Susannah died circa 1800 and left Kennersley to Arthur, but with a life interest to her husband, who later remarried. James Bordley, Jr., in his detailed study of the Hollyday and related families, gives the following account of Arthur's ownership: ...Unfortunately, Arthur was a prodigal spender, and it was not long after his marriage that he was seriously involved financially. He mortgaged his home, the sheriff sold his wife's inherited slaves, he tried to buy his father's life interest so he could--and finally did--sell "Kinnersley." His father said of him, "His plans of today are but his dreams tomorrow." Visionary and not practical, his father said, "Only his use of whiskey keeps me from thinking him unbalanced." By 1820 he had exhausted his resources and was in debt to the extent of seventy thousand dollars. His father could not then assist him, because "Much of my fortune had been squandered in schemes invented by Arthur." Henry Hollyday, II, of "Ratcliffe," who was one of the principal creditors of both father and son, in the end had to take over "Kinnersley" in 1827....²
