My great-grandmother was Catherine Kennedy (1853 - 1939). (She married John Dunne who built the Imperial Hotel - now the Harbour Inn in Bowmore.) Her father was Captain John Kennedy (1829 - 1882). His ships travelled between Islay and Northern Ireland. His father was Malcolm Kennedy (roughly 1793 - 1848). Malcolm was a weaver and his grave is in the cemetery near Ballygrant. I have no details further back. > > Hello Seymour > > I am wondering where in your lineage does the Kennedy come from? > > delta ann >

My Great Grandfather was James Kennedy. Don't know where he was born or what year as I was following the paternal side on Islay and have found them (the McLarty's) back to 1753. My maternal grandfather was Henry Kennedy Atkinson. Nancy
