I feel that an error is stated in your posting.

Mary Runner (Lauper) was married to John Kennedy and a son might have possibly been named Issac.
John Kennedy dies about 1830 and Mary Runner, dau of Gottlieb Runner (Lauper means Runner in German) lives to be over 100. (and is interviewed in the Centennial Publication of Morgantown. She gives a brief history of their coming to the Morgantown area.

The were wealthy and were taxed for their rich belongings (carriages and clocks)
the family business was mining iron ore near Sabraton and Rock Forge.
John Kennedy was a boat builder for the George Rogers Clark military campaign of 1781/83 and sued later to get his wages.
John Kennedy owes money to John G. Jackson and is sued by his widow in 1826? I believe...
To my knowledge, the family cemetery was destroyed with the Interstate Highway through Sabraton...However, some of the later generations are buried nearby: David Kennedy and wife and some of their children.

You can gather information about these people by googling in to this same forum...several researchers will be listed with the postings..

good luck...David Kennedy
