General Notes: Husband - Edward Kennerdell

---

He and five of his brothers were officers in the British army, and sons of a leading physician of Bolton, Lancashire, England.

In 1826 the family came from England to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and in 1837 removed to Pittsburgh, and soon after located at Craig's Mills, Armstrong County. While there Richard Kennerdell manufactured the first woolen goods made in that county. In 1844 the Kennerdells removed to Agnew's Mills, Richland township, Venango County, which Richard had previously leased for nine years, and carried on the manufacture of woolens during that period. In 1852 they purchased the property on Big Scrubgrass, thereafter known as Kennerdell's mills. They improved the buildings and operated saw, grist, and woolen mills, and also conducted a large general store. Edward Kennerdell and wife spent the remaining years of their lives at that place. [HVC 1890, 994]

He and his wife had twelve children; seven of them lived to maturity.
