Hello Listers,
Does anyone on this list have any info on Walker KENNEDY and his family who
are shown on the census of 1850 living in Marian Twp, Shelby Co. I first
found him living in Blue River Twp., Hancock Co IN, in 1840, along with a few
other KENNEDYS for whom I have found descendants (living). My own
gg-grandfather, Thomas KENNEDY, was also on the 1840 census, Buck Crk Twp.,
Hancock Co.
I have been trying to find parents' names of Thomas KENNEDY, b. abt 1790 in
VA.; also, need maiden name of spouse Mary, b. abt 1806, in OH. There were
some other KENNEDYS in Hancock Co in 1840, but they have been accounted
for...that is, I have found a descendant for them (living). However, my own
ancestor is my *brickwall*. I have the names of a few of his adult children:
Sarah who mar. George HUDSON, in 1849; Eliza Ann mar. Christopher RULEY
1846; Mary Jane mar. 1st John UNDERWOOD and after his death, in 1858, she
mar. Frederick HENDRICKS, in 1859. Frederick and Mary Jane HENDRICKS are my
g-grandparents.
On the 1850 census Thomas KENNEDY is listed with spouse Mary, and children;
Franklin Newland age 9, Nancy Susan age 7 and James Levi age 4. I am
wondering whether Franklin's middle name of Newland may be a
surname...perhaps Mary's maiden name???
According to a document I have related to Thomas KENNEDY there should be two
additional married adult children who were living in Buck Crk Twp, in 1857.
Who are those children???
If anyone has any additional info on Walker S. KENNEDY, I would appreciate
hearing from you
