"My" Kennedy's were in Colbert/Franklin Co., AL from about 1840 through 1880, according to census records. Prior to that, I believe they were in Lawrence Co., TN. Seeking information on Eli M. C. KENNEDY and his descendants. Eli was born about 1793. He married (1) Margaret L. Finly, 16 Aug 1814, and (2) Elizabeth Curry, 23 Jan 1823. Eli was living in Lawrence County, TN on the 1820 census records. His marriages took place in nearby Maury County (assuming this is the same Eli). Eli's son, Samuel KENNEDY (b. abt. 1824) m.
