    1. Re: Walter Kennedy
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QUB.2ACE/1057.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Sue and Bev: Yes--that's right. I am a descendant of this Walter by his second wife, Elizabeth Hodges (actually his third, but his second, Sarah Wooten, lived only a few months). Elizabeth was also the sister of another of my ancestors, James Arendell Hodges, who married Walter's sister Nancy Kennedy as his second wife. Walter's first wife was his first cousin, Eliza Kennedy, the dght of Jess and Elizabeth Hardee Kennedy. According to Walter's granddaughter, Miss Hattie Daly (1885-1985), one of their sons was born without one of his forearms--I guess the result of too close kin marrying. Another son, Levi Kennedy (brother of the Jesse who married Mary Sugg), was taken prisoner in the Civil War and died in a Union prison at Elmira, New York. Francis R. Hodges
