I have been trying to find *someone* in Hancock Co IN who may have knowledge
of Thomas KENNEDY, and/or his descendants, living in Buck Crk Twp. I
back-tracked via a tract record and found that he and John PARKER both
purchased their land in Buck Crk Twp, in 1834. They were residing in Brown
Co OH at time of purchase. I also found Thomas K. on the *1830* census of
Huntington Twp, Brown Co OH. He is then shown on the 1840 and each
succeeding census until 1870, living in Buck Crk Twp, Hancock Co IN. He died
12 or 19 Dec 1876 in Hancock Co IN. Thomas KENNEDY was b. abt 1788-90 in
VA...but what county?
Some of the names associated with my Thomas KENNEDY are Christopher RULEY
who mar dau Eliza Ann; John UNDERWOOD who mar dau Mary Jane; Mary Jane then
mar Frederick HENDRICKS, in 1859 (my g-grandparents); George HUDSON mar
Sarah. These girls were all b in OH between 1825-30. The children of Thomas
that were b in Hancock Co IN between 1840-50 are: Franklin Newland, Nancy
Susan and James Levi.
Some of the persons living in dwellings close to Thomas KENNEDY at various
times were MINTS, UNDERWOOD, TRUE, APPLE, LOUDER, STEELE, MURPHY, HANNA,
SMITH, COLLINS, DUNN, STEVENS
Some of the persons present at Thomas's estate sale, in 1877...J DICKSON,
J. A. PARKER, H. ROBB, Wm McCONNELL, T. L. PRICE, H. WELLING, S.S. JONES,
F.M.SANFORD, W.A. DUNN, J.D.JACKSON, G.W. PARKER, A.M. LEONARD
Some of the above persons, I believe, are from Brown Co OH.
If anyone had any knowledge of any of the above I would appreciate hearing
from you. I have corresponded with some of the descendants of two other
KENNEDY families, in Hancock Co, but I am having a difficult time finding the
maiden name of my Thomas K's spouse, Mary. Could it be NEWLAND, the middle
name of son, Franklin??? Just a thought!
