Hello. I've written all of these lists about my mysterious Frank M. Kennedy
born OCT 1853 in Unknown, Indiana and died 1931 in Pulaski County, Arkansas.
I have finally recieved the correct death certificate (It was under F.M.
Kennedy). I have been stuck on my Frank for quite a while. I have good
news to pass on. Does anyone recognize his parents, the following couple:
David Kennedy born in Ireland and Matilda Payne born in Alabama. So far I
have searched Rootsweb,
Familysearch.org, and Heritage Quest and haven't
come up with anything for this couple. I will try
Ancestry.com next week
when I can make it to the FHC. But, if anyone recognizes this couple,
please contact me.
The death certificate does not list town name for either David or Matilda's
birth. It also doesn't list his deceased wife's name (darn, that's another
mystery still unsolved). Another thing to note is that it states his birth
is 01 OCT 1852 (whereas 1900 census data he states it's OCT 1853). The
death certificate doesn't clear up his burial location either, and the
undertaker in Terre Haute, Indiana is unreadable (it looks like the last
five letters of the undertakers name was quand or guand - is this familiar
to anyone in Terre Haute?), but I am glad to be one step further on my
Kennedy line.
Excitedly,
LeeAnn McNabb
descendant of Frank M. Kennedy
