Despite snobbish 19th century efforts to establish lineage from the old Ulster aristocratic Magennis of Iveagh family, the present Guinness family is actually descended from Richard Guinness, a Protestant commoner born around 1690 near Celbridge.
Richard's son, the famous Arthur Guinness, became the ale brewer to the Archbishop's household, and it was a £100 legacy from Price that gave him the capital to purchase in 1756 the first Guinness brewery in Leixlip.
He was only 21 when he inherited a half-share of the brewery and before he was 30 he had bought out his elder brother, Lord Ardilaun's, shares in the St James's Gate for the equivalent of £34 million in today's money.

 Lewis Jenkins (c1710) and Isabella --- of Onslow Co, NC
His first known public record in Onslow County was dated 1744, so he was probably at least 21 then, so born ca 1723 or earlier.
However, he is the proven father of Henry Jenkins who was born ca 1732 or before, so based on Lewis being roughly 21 or so when Henry was born, I estimate that Lewis was born ca 1710 or thereabouts, perhaps earlier than that, but not too much later than that.
This marriage may have taken place in Onslow County (still part of New Hanover Precinct) or perhaps they married in their former place of residence before moving to Onslow County.
