General Notes: Husband - Thomas Kennedy

---

Among the early settlers of Adams Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, was Thomas Kennedy. He raised a family of six children, five boys and one girl, T. W. being the fourth son. He was an industrious, thrifty farmer, and amassed a comfortable competency.

The birth year is given by the source. [HBC 1895, 1146] But one might wonder if a generation has been omitted here. If this is his birthdate, then all other dates associated with him see odd.

He was born in County Derry, Ireland, and came to the United States in 1812, coming direct to Butler County, Pennsylvania. He settled on a farm of 250 acres in Adams township, which he purchased from John Dunn. He learned the carpenter's trade in his native land, was a well educated man, and taught school for several years, but after settling in Butler County he devoted his attention to farming. He was a member of the Covenanter church down to within six years of his death, when he joined the United Presbyterian church. [HBC 1895, 1146]
