This isn't going to help as much as I wish it did but when looking for Kennedys you have to be really fluid with the spelling. Everything from Canady to Kanady to Kennedy, all with or without doubled letters. My brick wall in Augusta County is a Kennedy too, Susanna Kennedy, married David Chambers and their first son was Hugh Kennedy Chambers. Their next child was named Elizabeth Young Chambers. The next two sons were named for paternal grandfather and great grandfathers. My Susanna was born in Virginia (probably either Rockbridge or Augusta) 3 August 1806. There was a Hugh Kennedy in the 1820 census for the region with lots of young girls and a couple of young boys. There was also a Hugh Kennedy who married Elizabeth Young, daughter of Robert Young and had only one daughter that is posted on any of the internet trees...and that's Ann Kennedy who married a cousin, another Robert Young. I believe that Hugh was a Justice of the Peace as his signature, dated 1811 is in the flyleaf of a book of rules for Virginia Justices of the Peace. David Chambers, his son-in-law? inherited this book and signed it in 1832...and took it to Indiana. I've never been able to get to Virginia to investigate this lead but of all my brick walls this one at least seems solvable. EdrieAnne Broughton
