Kennedy born July 28, 1801 ___________ Kennedy born March 10, 1804 NOTE: Could this be Richard? Sic NOTE: No. This is Jesse, son of John and Jane. He moved to Mississippi, and the above date is confirmed by the date on his tombstone there. Tombstone has disappeared, but a descendant has the date which her mother copied from it years ago. - FRH Nancy Kennedy born Aug. 21, 1807 NOTE: married late. She was the second wife of James A. Hodges and the mother of Sally Hodges Loftin. FRH Walter Kennedy born March 7, 1812 NOTE: Father of my great-grandmother Harriet Catherine Kennedy Daly. - FRH Richard Kennedy married Sarah Loftin 1834 NOTE: Richard was born Jan. 1, 1817 according to my information, and this appears confirmed by census data. His mother was fifty years old when he was born--stretching it, but not impossible. Eliza Kennedy born Feb. 8, 1815 Eliza Kennedy died Oct. 26, 1846 NOTE: This appears to be Mrs. Parrott's note - daughter of Jessie Kennedy and first wife of Walter Kennedy buried in Daly burying ground) They had five sons, three of whom died young and childless. I think two died in the Civil War. - FRH NOTE: There are no parents named in the Bible but grand children testify that this note is correct. Jno. Kennedy II born July 16, 1766 - Died Nov. 3 1840 sic, married Jane______. Born Feb. 17 1764 Died Feb. 19, 1833 sic. Buried on Daly land. No. I copied these dates myself from their tombstones, more than twenty-five years ago. You have the death dates of John and Jane switched. Jane appears as head of household in census of 1840; she died a few months later. I am about eighty percent certain that Jane's maiden name was Jones. She is called Jenny in her husband's will. - FRH
