General Notes: Husband - James Kennedy


He emigrated from Ireland, and settled first in New Jersey, and afterwards in Pequea, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [MOMCV, 361] The same source states, in another passage, that it was his father who immigrated.

He was a farmer. Late in life he lived at the Gap, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he owned 480 acres of land, purchased in 1788.

He and his wife had twelve children, of whom Robert was the ninth.
