I have an interest in the Messick family for their connection to my Kennedys. Margaret Kennedy was the daughter of Leah Lanham and James Kennedy. Margaret's oldest sister Mary Polly, who married Thomas H. Ward, is my great-great grandmother. This is what I have on the Messicks: b. ~1812, Margaret Kennedy m. William MESSICK, 6 Feb 1838, Richard Golden bondsman, James Kennedy 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 Kennedy FG [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol II 1823-1851, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery ] It might interest you to know that Richard Golden, who was bondsman for Margaret and William, was also bondsman for two other of Margaret's sisters: Sarah/Sally Kennedy, b. ~1810, m. Hardin Golden, 8 June 1832. Richard Golden bondsman, James Kennedy FB. [Madison County Kentucky Marriage Records Vol II 1823-1851, compiled by Bill and Kathy Vockery ] Martha/Patsy, b. ~1824, m.
