    Notes:

    David Kennedy's small sketch of the history of the family he sprang from, with that of his wife, Joanna:
    "My great grandfather was from Scotland by the name of Alexander. He fled from that country in the time of the great rebellion (that would be the rebellion of 1715 in protest over bringing George I to the throne rather than the Stuart Pretender) to Ireland."
    Note: This short sketch of my David Kennedy and the data on births, marriages and deaths which follow have been a great help establishing the Kennedy lineage. Alexander Kennedy, son of Alexander of Craigoch and Kilhenzie was probably the Alexander who left Scotland, great-grandfather of David. The genealogical authorities in Edinburgh know nothing about what happened to Alexander Kennedy; but in Scotland, they lose interest in a man when he departs for Ireland !
