General Notes: Husband - Maxwell Kennedy
He inherited from his father one-half of the estate at the Gap, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and about the time of his marriage erected thereon the Rising Sun tavern, which he kept for several years, and afterwards engaged in farming. He entered the War of 1812 as first lieutenant in a company which went to Fort Deposit, and continued in the service about six months, coming out of it as colonel. He built a house near by the Rising Sun Hotel, later owned and occupied by his son Sylvester, in 1817-18, where he resided until his death. He was a member of the State Legislature in 1835-36. In politics he was an Anti-Mason and Whig. He dealt largely in cattle, and was one of the most enterprising and energetic men of his day. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church, and their home, so often frequented by them, was known as the "clergymen's home."
He and his wife had twelve children, five of whom died in infancy.
