Ardis, Here is what I have from the will of Thomas Kennedy who died in 1836. The list of slaves mentions only given names except for an Argo. Many were simply named slaves. Thomas is the only Kennedy for which I have mention of slaves. Also, Thomas' will was not complete as at least one page is missing concerning one of his children. Gerald Tudor Thomas Kennedy's will (probated 1836) consists of eight large pages (some reports say more, and perhaps so by the original foolscap will, but this is all that is found in the Will Book). I will only mention the distribution of his slaves, many by name and many, I suppose, by "the rest of my negros", etc. His son, Thomas, Jr., 29 or more by name: Patsy & children consisting of Jim, Elijah, George, Beverly, David, & Samuel; Rose & children consisting of Moses, Annis, Henry, Mariam, Chany, Franky, Margaret, and Alexander; Maria & Children consisting of Julia, Felix, Aggy, Andrew, and Jack; Lucy & children consisting of Robert, Rachail, Lee, or Lue or Sue(?), Jim, and Stephen (My Man). Son, John W. Kennedy, 26 by name: Will & wife, Charlotte & Children consisting of Liberty, Phebe, and Bill; Silva & children consisting of Jim, Wyatt, Betsy, Henry, William, and Jane; Edna & children consisting of Almira and Cassa; Ephraim & wife; Kizzy & children consisting of Simon and Bob; Charles & wife; Phebe & children consisting of Fanny, Carter, Willis, Sarah Jane, and Jim. Daughter, Elizabeth J. Miller, one half of all the slaves now in her possession including the negro Cassa and her children. The remaining half of said slaves, I bequeath to my grand children Thomas K. Miller and Edna W. Miller. Also willed to Thomas K. Miller, Jane, eldest daughter of my negro woman Hannah, willed to dau. Nancy Letcher. Grandson Thomas K. Letcher, one negro boy, Peter. Granddaughter Edna Letcher, negro girl Paulina, dau. of my negro woman called Nancy Barton {or Burton?} Robert Argo, my negro boy, Norman and a girl near his own age to be chosen by Executors out of my negros not specifically bequeathed. James H. Letcher, my negro woman Phebe to be kept and supported as long as she lives. All my slaves not disposed of to be divided among my four children ( how many slaves?) Codicil : My negro woman Aggy to be set free with cow and calf to be hers absolutely and forever. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ardis" <ardis4@fuse.net> To: <madky@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008 4:36 PM Subject: Re: [MADKY] Kennedy clan - Gerald Tudor > Would anyone have information of Kennedy Slaves?
