I have a KENNEDY family that lived mostly in PA, moving to OH late in life. The first of this KENNEDY family to come to America was John KENNEDY, b. 1722 in Antrium, IRE and his wife whose birth name was MURRAY. The arrived in Baltimore, MD after their marriage in Ireland in 1748. Their son, John KENNEDY, was b. Baltimore in 1751. This son was a captain in the Continental Army under George Washington, lived most of his life in Franklin Co., PA, moving to Bryan, Williams Co., OH as an old man. He d. abt. 1848 in Bryan. This John KENNEDY md. Elizabeth Templin, and they had 10 children: Mary, James, John, George, Elizabeth, Sarah, Hannah, Catherine, Jacob, and Margaret. Mary (my ancestor) was b. 1788 in PA and lived much of her life in Carlisle and Meadville, PA. She married David HOLLIDAY. Do you see any possible connections? I see only two. One, both your Hugh KENNEDY and my second John KENNEDY served in the Rev. War under G. Washington, and second, the naming of daughters Catherine with a "C" rather than a "K". Also, they both lived in PA. But since KENNEDY is such a common name, there may be no relationship.
