General Notes: Husband - Maj. James Kennedy

---

He was born in Ireland and came to the United States during the first years of the nineteenth century. He settled on Brady's Run, Brighton township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and from that district enlisted for service in the War of 1812. At the close of the war he returned to the occupation of farming, and became the owner of about three hundred and sixty acres of land. He erected a grist mill and a saw mill, managed them personally until his death, and also erected another mill on the same run, in Chippewa township, for his son Samuel. His farming operations were also extensive and he was very successful with them. He was one of the most influential men in the township, and supported the Whig party. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
