Actually, Mary LILY (Kenan) Flagler, later Bingham, inherited Henry Flagler's entire estate (he had endowed his children before that, but not nearly as heavily as his third wife)!!!
The New York Times claimed when Mary Lily got the inheritance that she was "The Wealthiest Woman on Earth" -- but they didn't know the HALF of it, since the Kenans have ALWAYS excelled at HIDING THEIR MONEY.
And you would THINK from Si Cantwell's answer, that even TODAY (Si's answer was published in the paper in July 2009), that he is TODAY paid by the Kenans to hide their ACTUAL HISTORY -- just take a GANDER!!!: http://www.myreporter.com/2009/07/who-are-the-kenans/
Who are the Kenans?

The name certainly pops up a lot around town: Kenan Auditorium at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, the Kenan Fountain at Fifth Avenue and Market Street, Chapel Hill-based Kenan Transport Co., which has a facility on U.S. 421 North. Carolina fans might attend a football game at Kenan Stadium at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The Kenan family came to Wilmington in the 1730s, and eventually established a presence in Duplin County, then considered the northern part of New Hanover County.
According to a family history, some settled in the Grove Settlement, which became Kenansville, Duplin County’s seat.
One of Kenansville’s main attractions is the museum known as Liberty Hall. The house, open for tours, dates back to the 1830s when Owen R. Kenan rebuilt it after a fire. You can find out more about the Kenans here.
The Kenans, prominent landowners, became even wealthier at the turn of the last century. That’s when Owen’s granddaughter, Mary Lily Kenan, married Henry Flagler, an industrialist who built much of Florida’s real estate and railroads.
Her brother, William Rand Kenan Jr., was a chemist whose work with a professor at UNC-Chapel Hill on processing calcium carbide led to the founding of Union Carbide Corp.
He gave much of the money to build Kenan Stadium, home of the Tar Heels since 1927. He had graduated from UNC in 1894.
Kenan married Alice Pomroy of Lockport, N.Y., and lived there most of his life. He died in 1965.
In 1996, Walter E. Campbell wrote a biography of William Rand Kenan called “Across Fortune’s Tracks.” It was published by UNC Press, Chapel Hill.
Frank H. Kenan started Kenan Oil Co. and Kenan Transport Co. His son, Owen, later took over the oil business while his father ran the transport company.
Frank Kenan graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1935, was closely linked to the school for the rest of his life. He continued his family’s tradition of monetary donations to the school by providing $10 million for the Kenan-Flagler Business Schoolin 1991. He died in Durham in 1996.
Other Kenans have continued the tradition of supporting causes including higher education.
Today, Thomas Kenan III, a Durham native, lives in Chapel Hill. He is the former chairman of the board of Kenan Transport and is an active supporter of the UNC School of the Arts in Winston-Salem. The Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts at UNCSA is named after him.

According to Mr. Cantwell's LINKED-IN profile, he has worked in Wilmington for the Star News since 1990, and before that for a paper in Pennsylvania.
Since EVERYONE in Wilmington (except recent immigrants from this country and others), KNOWS that William R. Kenan, Sr. and First Presbyterian CAUSED the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898, he is a TURD (or "in the Kenan pocket" -- if you prefer), not to have mentioned that WE KENANS CAUSED THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL COUP D'ETAT IN US HISTORY -- which led to all the Jim Crow Laws being passed across the South by the Democratic Party, within two years.
CURRENTLY, my Kenan Family (mostly through white "Christian" Churches and the Republican and Democratic Parties), emboldens White Christian Churches to ARM THEMSELVES for the coming Christian War for White Supremacy. And the Democrats, actually, just narco-traffic with them, so as friends ALLOW the White Supremacy to ADVANCE (so they don't get cut off from their Drug Sources by the Republicans).
Ask local County Democratic Party 3rd Vice Chair Ryan Lee Burris -- and WHY he slandered me all over Facebook just over a year ago, but he's not important enough to me to prosecute -- he's only important to the DRUG FLOW to Democratic from his good buddy Thom Goolsby!!!
From the husband of Republican Judge Lindsey Luther -- an ELDER at First Presbyterian where Democrat District Attorney Benjamin R. David is ALSO an Elder -- doing "Jesus's work":
And it was Disgraced by Financial Crimes and Resigned Republican Sen. Thom Goolsby who SPONSORED the Law allowing concealed carry in Churches to enable them to stockpile guns:
Sen. Goolsby, in 2010 FAKED an identity as a kindly Grandmother living near him -- FAR too cowardly to confront me as a MAN: http://scottkenan.blogspot.com/2011/12/riding-wave.html
But YESTERDAY, I saw two pairs of Thom Goolsby Law ads on CNN or MSNBC, so who knows -- times must be TIGHT!!!
Doesn't Bill Clinton look ODDLY FLUMMOXED here with the two hyenas, Margaret and George???
There, I've said my nice thing for the day about Bill Clinton!!!
Well, to get back to Si Cantwell and the Kenans, I guess it's OK to give such a paltry answer -- because for more than a decade, newspapers -- while good for much local news -- run next to nothing on the bigger picture, so ALL people -- educated and not -- go to the internet to learn more, despite all the lies one must suss out in the process.
In today's society, you have to be TOTALLY addicted to drugs or alcohol not to get your news that way -- and in fact I intend to subscribe to the electronic edition of Wilmington Star News, because I NEED to keep up more with local news, and they only allow 10 views/month for free (and I don't like dumping my cache).
Let me list a few other Kenan Accomplishments, nearly all of them by Tom Kenan's branch of the family:
Several (when I say Kenans, they usually have other surnames, as nearly ALL Kenan men tend more gay. It's Kenan GALS that reproduce!!!) of the writers/signatories of the Articles of
And funny, Scarlet O'Hara (another "Lumber Queen") took a long tumble down the stairs of her giant Atlanta mansion (and miscarried), while Henry Flagler, then in the mansion with wife Mary Lily (Kenan) Flagler, her brother William R. Kenan, Jr. had been running all Flagler's interests for him (except Rockefeller ran Standard Oil), for many years, then, and Flagler's live-in physician was Mary Lily's uncle (cousin -- genealogy books are difficult to make sense of when so many name errors, especially), Dr. Owen Hill Kenan, a "lifelong bachelor" and noted dandy with his solid gold lions-head walking stick he used around Wilmington, later. Owen had received the French Honor for Bravery for driving ambulances and doctoring BEFORE the US got into WWI -- and he ALSO was the "last survivor of the Lusitania sinking" -- fancy THAT!!!
Well Whitehall's Grand Staircase that Henry Flagler tumbled down and soon died of those injuries, is so GRADUAL, you would need ALL THOSE KENANS to ROLL HIM DOWN!!!
I've climbed and descended these stairs more than once, and figure they are the depth of two normal stairs to accommodate the precariousness of women with flowing gowns and trains.
And back-tracking a bit, the Kenans -- possessing great wealth and reputation -- had spread across the Deep South and by the time of the Secession, were largely influential (if not in actual control of all of them), North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and the not-quite-State of Florida. It is VERY reasonable to credit them as the Family that MOST influenced the Separation of the States.
And of course they LEFT the Presbyterian Church after the 1898 Insurrection in Wilmington -- for the Episcopal Church whose Symbol of Power on Earth -- until retired, finally, in 2005 -- was the Confederate Mace kept at the University of the South, aka Sewanee.
But back to some BETTER THINGS, Kenan Charities for Education -- the biggest being the William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust: http://kenancharitabletrust.org/KCT_AR_2015.pdf -- are the LARGEST private support of university education in the WORLD for over 103 years.
My recent letter to the Head: http://theweathercontinues.blogspot.com/2016/07/my-letter-to-dougls-zinn-executive.html
And there are so MANY other good Kenan things that can be found, but here is what was a TOTAL SURPRISE to me, that was pointed out to me in 2010 by a Canadian narco-trafficker -- a young woman who claimed it was her last year and she was returning to school in Alberta to become a nurse -- who was nearly OBSESSED with reading my 2000 Mercer University Press edition of The Kenan Family (still available on Amazon via Kenan Kern and others at list price). And the original 1967 edition is available online in FULL: https://archive.org/stream/kenanfamilysomea00regi#page/n3/mode/2up.
Sadly, the Kenan Coat of Arms was INVENTED in 1967 as a MARKETING TOOL, the REAL one is quite simple:
1967
Actual Kenan Coat of Arms
Oddly, my brother Mike's wife, Gail (Godley) Kenan HAS this line through her mother, and Mike and I have the "Cherokee Smidge" that the rich Kenans do not have to my knowedge, so my nephews and niece have got BOTH!!!
OK, last thing for now. The reason I brought up the Canadian Narco-Trafficker, is that SHE found that BOTH the Psychiatrist heading the American Psychiatric Association when the DSM (Official Document defining all scientifically accepted Mental Illnesses), was changed in the late 1960s to NOT INCLUDE Homosexuality, was a differently-named Blood Kenan -- AS WAS THE SHRINK IN CHARGE OF COLLATING ALL STUDIES TO COME TO THAT CONCLUSION!!!
The KENANS were behind Pat McCrory for Governor, so NOW the Kenan Family has not just abandoned Our Kenan Ancestors' Fight for Liberty, they fight HEADSTRONG for White Supremacy, for Profits by Addicting Children to Narcotics (with the Episcopal Church that ALSO murdered Tennessee Williams and is NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE with its Anglican Communion for the next two years as a PUNISHMENT for something).
Oh, and besides controlling Exxon-Mobil, the Kenans ALSO have VERY extensive coal-mine holdings.
And of course while BLOOD KENANS codified the sanity of Homosexuals, Thomas S. Kenan III and his step-mother Betty (Price) Kenan try to UNDO THAT, while they help DISMANTLE the North Carolina Public Education System at ALL LEVELS!!!
ALL in the NAME of JESUS!!!
