I am in search of any connection one might have with the Richardson and Kennedy families. I have my ggrandfather Wayne Kennedy Richardson living beside a John Kennedy in Allen Township, Washington County, in the 1880 census. Wayne was born in 1854 in PA. I also have a Richardson living beside a Kennedy in Butler County in a census around 1850. My quest is to find Wayne's father or my gggrandfather. I am following the hunch that since Wayne had the middle name of Kennedy that his mother may of been a Kennedy. Also, He named his first daughter, Laura Isabelle, and I think there was an Isabelle Kennedy that married a Joseph Richardson. Wayne named two of his children Milton. His first son, John Milton, and his last son, Milton Dewey. There was a Milton Kennedy listed in the household of that 1850 census mentioned above. Have hit a brick wall concerning Wayne or his existence before 1880. Although I do have some information concerning his membership in the Coal Center Methodist Church, Roscoe, Washington County area, relating to that time frame. Any help would be very much appreciated. I am sure many of you reading this have remembered my same delima over the past few years.
