Hi, I have Heritage of Lenoir Co. book. In it it list Walter Kennedy married Elizabeth Hodges daughter of Edward Hodges [died 1820] and his wife Catherine [died about 1830]. Edward and Catherine had five children: James Arendell Hodges born 1808, Richard Hodges (known as Uncle Dickie) Nancy Hodges Mary Hodges (aka: Polly) Elizabeth Hodges who married Walter Kennedy. It also mentioned a Walter Kennedy who married Sarah (Sally) Wooten born 1819, Lenoir Co. Was this his first or second wife? I am not related, just passing on information I had on hand. Have a nice day. JUNE
