Hi Jeanette,
My Gt-Gt-GT-Gt Grandfather was John Kennedy from Foss Scotland who was at Culloden. One of his descendants was David Kennedy the well know Scottish Vocalist of the 1800`s. Herewith an extract from his book of family reminiscences. `John Kennedy belonged to a family or small clan of Kennedys in Foss, in the north of Perthshire. He was the gillie to the Laird of Foss whom he accmpanied to the fatal field of Culloden. The Laird was killed but his gillie escaped`.
If you have any info of this Kennedy it would be appreciated. We believe he had a son also called John and this John had a David who married Mary Moir in 1792, in Perth.
Thanks, David Fell.
