I am in the process of searching for my grandfather's roots in Mississippi.His name was Walter William Kennedy and was born 09/09/1876.His father's name was William Alexander Kennedy.William Alexander was married three times:
1) Rebecca A. Kirkland, b. 11 May 1854, m. 18 Dec 1873 (William Alexander Kennedy), d. 11 Aug 1882
Walter had four (4) full siblings from this union:
a.) C.M. Kennedy
b) T.R. Kennedy
c) Maggie Kennedy
d) Myra Kennedy
2) M. Alice Livingston, b. 21 Jan 1859, m. 18 Nov 1883 (William Alexander Kennedy), d. 07 Apr 1889
and two (2) half siblings from this union:
a) Grover Cleveland Kennedy
b) P. Roberta Kennedy
3) Martha Elizabeth Dearing, b. 18 Oct 1863, m. 19 Jun 1889 (William Alexander Kennedy), d. 03 Jun 1920
and seven (7) half siblings:
a) Loyd C. Kennedy
b) Floyd T. Kennedy
c) Robert Dearing Kennedy
d) William Alexander Kennedy
e) Stephen Jefferson Kennedy
f) Ervin Miller Kennedy
g) Martha Elizabeth Kennedy
My grandfather lost his mother when he was about six (6) and was then raised by an African American woman who worked for the family.This was the only nurturing he received between that time and the time he left home at thirteen (13).
Please contact me if any of this story correlates with your family records.
Thanks in advance!
