Point of interest for those following the Lanham and Sappington families of Madison County, KY and where some of them may have gone.

I am seeking information on Polly Masters and Lawrence Davis. There were both involved in an 1818 Madison County law suit. Please respond privately. Thank you, Lesa!

Bud, The only connection I have to the Wests is through James Kennedy's 2nd marriage to Mary West. [14 Nov 1842, James Kennedy granted Tract and Personality to Mary West [Madison County Marriage Contract -1-149]. James Kennedy, 67, and Mary West, 47, were married 15 Nov 1842 [Madison County Marriages BK 3W-34]. Somewhere, stashed away, I have copies of information I acquired just out of curiosity. I think Mary West was a daughter of Jonathan West - because of will or property transfer???? I THINK THERE ARE SEVERAL WEST RESEARCHERS ON THIS LIST AND MAYBE ONE OF THEM WILL JUMP IN WITH DETAILS. Because Mary was born about 1795, she would have been born during his first marriage to Patience Sapp, m. 9 Sep. 1793. I don't believe she was married before her marriage to James. Her children all used last name of West. (Just now, glancing through one of the marriage books, I see that Littleton West's daughter Mary married John Woods, 17 Dec 1814. And I see his marriage to your Sarah Lee. You have all that basic info, don't you?) The census taker, in 1850, Madison Co., Dist. 1 lists both Mary and James as Canada, however it is clearly a mistake of spelling because Mary is shown with her son William and James is shown next door with Mary's daughter Angeline and her husband George Anderson. On 25 Jan 1847 Mary KENNEDY gave permission for son Luke to marry Martha Grooms. [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol II 1823-1851, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery].

Margaret/Peggy Lanham, b. after 1796 in Madison Co., the 8th child of Thomas Lanham and Patience Sappington, married Zephaniah Fowler, 29 Dec 1814 in Madison Co., KY. The bond was filed 28 Dec 1814, John Lanham, bondsman; Thomas Lanham father of the bride. (Note: Some people have Zephaniah listed as Leshimiah but the original document was clearly Zepheniah. Spelled with e in the middle. I saw that one myself - I may even have a copy of it stashed somewhere.) They were living in Montgomery Co. in 1860. Some of their children were Thomas, b. 1817; Wesley, b. 1824; Susey, b. 1826 (see list of grandparents following); Sarah, b. 1828; Mary, b. 1829. [A Fowler researcher told me his parents were Jeremiah Fowler and Marget UNK and Jeremiah's parents were Jeremiah Fowler and Drucilla Isaac, and that Jeremiah's parents were Thomas Fowler and Susannah Iiams. I haven't done any serious research but the family was back in Maryland in the early 1700s.] Richard Fowler married Malinda Bently 2 Feb 1827. Nancy Jones, mother of bride. JOHN SMITH, bondsman. [DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS JOHN SMITH? THOMAS LANHAM NAMED HIM TO BE EXECUTOR OF HIS WILL. "Now on a second reflection I do design and hereby Will and bequeath that John Smith shall have three hundred dollars out of my Estate during his life and that said John Smith shall be my executor and transactor of all my business." Joseph Fowler was a witness to the will in 1840. I have the inventory and settlement documents - very complete - but it is inaccessible at the moment. I remember seeing Fowler names as purchasers. I think one of them bought some of the land. In 1830, Richard Fowler was neighbor to Thomas Lanham in Western Division , Madison County. He was 20-30 yrs old, as was his wife.

It occurs to me that while I have shared this with people who have asked, there might be others out there who might benefit, or more importantly, have additions and corrections that would help all of us. Associated family names include West, Ward, Ellington, Golden, Messick, White, Crews and Fowler. LEAH LANHAM, oldest daughter of Thomas and Patience Lanham, was born abt. 1785, d. abt 1830. She married James Kennedy, 1 Aug 1804. Consent by Thomas Lanham, Father of Bride, Bondsman, Stephen Lanham (probably her uncle Stephen but it could be her brother Stephen), [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol I, 1786-1822, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery,] According to the 1850 census, James was born in Virginia. [There is no known relationship to any of the other Kennedy's who settled in, or around, Madison Co., KY, including the Garrard Co. Kennedy's who have been thoroughly researched by Gerald Tudor.] James origins are still a mystery and we're still looking for his family. 1810 and 1820 census reports do not show James and Leah in Madison County. On 25 Jan 1830, James (who signed with his mark) sold personality to his father-in-law, Thomas Lanham, including two featherbeds, a bolster and counterpain, a pot, a kettle, pair of pothooks, some glass, cupboard, table and six chairs, a chest, a grind stone and cooper tools. We can't read too much into this because Thomas Lanham frequently loaned/gave money to his kids. The 1830 census, taken in June, shows James Kennedy, Sr. with one female, 45 and over (Leah), and nine children. A note of interest is the census also shows Mary West and three children are neighbors. We believe Leah, only about 45 years of age, died shortly after the census was taken and the children probably were farmed out to aunts and uncles. Leah had 16 brothers and sisters so there were plenty to go around. It appears that Leah named her children after her brothers and sisters. With an absence of names in the earlier census reports, it is difficult to identify the individual children - birth dates are estimated based on marriage dates and later census reports. James was listed as father of the bride or groom in several marriage bonds from 1832 - 1845. A household for James is not found in the 1840 census, however 14 Nov 1842, James Kennedy granted Tract and Personality to Mary West [Madison County Marriage Contract -1-149]. James Kennedy, 67, and Mary West, 47, are married 15 Nov 1842 [Madison County Marriages BK 3W-34]. During the 1840s, there were a large number of land transactions within the West family in the Otter Creek, Clear Creek, Muddy Creek regions. The census taker, in 1850, Madison Co., Dist. 1 lists both Mary and James as Canada, however it is clearly a mistake of spelling because Mary is shown with her son William and James is shown next door with Mary's daughter Angeline and her husband George Anderson. On 25 Jan 1847 Mary Kennedy gave permission for son Luke to marry Martha Grooms. [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol II 1823-1851, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery ] We have been unable to find either James or Mary in 1860 but all of Mary's children have finished selling off property in Madison County and are living in Missouri. We have no knowledge of burial places of any of the Lanhams or Kennedys. The following are the children of James and Leah (Lanham) Kennedy, b. 1805, Polly/Mary Kennedy m. Thomas H. Ward, 21 Jul 1824. Bond by Jesse Lanham, brother of her mother Leah Lanham. Consent by James Kennedy, FB. [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol II 1823-1851, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery]. In 1830 census, Thomas and Mary are found with two small daughters and a small son in the Western Division of Madison County. Thomas died before the 1850 census which found the widow, Mary Ward, 44, with all 12 children at home - a couple of them may be grand-children. In 1853, Polly, 48, married widower William T. Ellington, 66. John White, bondsman. [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol III 1852-1876, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery]. In 1860 census, she was the widow Mary Ellington, with sons Thomas Ward, 22; John Wesley Ward, 19, and Levi Ward, 18. In 1870, she was living with son, John Wesley and his wife, Anna Baxter, in the Athens district of Fayette Co. The Ward family Bible gives the date of her death as 10 Oct. 1872. b. 1810, Sarah/Sally Kennedy m. Hardin Golden, 8 June 1832. Richard Golden bondsman, James FB. [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol II 1823-1851, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery ] This was a second marriage for Hardin and he died before 1850 leaving Sally with 4 children. In 1850, Sally Golden, age 30, <should be age 40> is found living near her father James CANADA and his second wife Mary CANADA. With her are children: Catherine, 17; Emily, 14; William, 10; and Frank, 5. On Oct. 31, 1853, she married William Crews. Bondsman was William T. Ellington. [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol III 1852-1876, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery]. William Ellington was the second husband of Mary/Polly Ward, Sally's sister. b. 1812, Margaret Kennedy m. William Messick, 6 Feb 1838, Richard Golden bondsman, James FB [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol II 1823-1851, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery ] b. ~1815, Thomas Kennedy m. Elizabeth Messick, 20 Jul 1840. William Messick bondsman, James FG [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol II 1823-1851, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery ] b. 1816, Leah Kennedy who in 1850 was living with her aunt and uncle, Sarah Lanham and John Sappington. Sarah Lanham married late in life, staying home to take care of her father, Thomas, till his death in 1840, after which she married a cousin, John Sappington. They opened their home to various nieces and nephews over the years. The 1860 census shows Leah living with another aunt and uncle, Margaret Lanham and Zepheniah Fowler in Montgomery Co. KY. b. ~1822, Jemima married 21 Dec 1842 to John White, Samuel White bondsman, James Kennedy FB, Samuel White FG. [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol II 1823-1851, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery ] John White, was the bondsman some 20 years later when Polly/Mary married William Ellington after Thomas H. Ward had died. b. 1824, Martha/Patsy, m. Benjamin Golden, 12 Jul 1845. Richard Golden bondsman, James FB. FG [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol II 1823-1851, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery ] Her birth date was determined by her age 36 shown in 1860 census. They moved to Rockcastle for several years. And in 1860 they were back farming in the Western Subdivision of Madison County with children: Jonathan N, 13; George W., 11; Oscar H., 8; Ann H., 6; and Edna C., 3. b. 1825, James, was living with Uncle John and Aunt Sarah Sappington in Montgomery Co. KY. His sister Leah is there, also, along with cousin Thomas S. Ward, 14, son of Mary/Polly and Thomas H. Ward. By 1860, James, now age 35, cooper, is living in the household of Zepheniah Fowler, whose wife was another of Thomas Lanham's children, Margaret, so he moved from one aunt to another. He also brought his wife, Cynthia. We haven't found a marriage for that couple, but they sold property together years later and appear to have been married, not other siblings. Clearly, we are missing two children who were shown in the 1830 census. Mary/Polly was already married and living away from home. There is a surprising 5 year gap between the births of Mary/Polly in 1805 and Sarah/Sally in 1810. Perhaps children were born and died or perhaps we have just not found one or two others. A possible child might be William Kennedy, b. 1808 who married Polly Guire, 10 Mar 1820. Bondsman John Guire. Other possible children suggested by other researchers have proven to be part of the thoroughly documented Garrard County Kennedy's.

Gerald didn't do the research on the James Kennedy family - that would be me. Gerald had done a monumental job on what I call the Gerrard Co. Kennedy's. It seems like all the Madison-Gerrard Kennedy's were related. Except for James - we don't know where he came from but doesn't seem to be connected to any of the others. For years I'd collected everything I could find about ALL the Kennedy's, just in case. After Gerald Tudor published his Kennedy research in the Paint Lick publication, I was finally able to use his leftovers to piece together James and Leah's family. Gerald was also nice enough to review my work and approve the documentation Suzanne Thompson-Hoffmann -----Original Message----- From: madky-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:madky-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of R1946AT@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 6:44 PM To: madky@rootsweb.com Subject: [MADKY] Kennedy clan - Gerald Tudor Gerald Tudor, Can you please contact me off this web site about research you may have done on James Kennedy who married Leah Lanham?
