I am very interested in your query regarding Thomas Kennedy (1819), Coahoma, MS.I have a Thomas Jefferson Cannady, born 31 May, 1819. A letter written by him from Delta, Coahoma, MS in 1851 to his sister Cyrenia Cannady Smith Haley (b.1811), living in Leon Co. TX in 1851 references others (assumed to be family members): James Madison, b. 1815 and d. 1850; Eleanor, b. 1815; George Washington, b.1817; and Thomas Jefferson, b. 1819. I believe these are all siblings of Cyrenia. In the 1850 census record, there is a Sary Cannaday, age 59, enumerated with Cyrenia's family in Leon Co. TX.Perhaps the mother was visiting her daughter and family in TX. Could this be the same person as your Ruth Kennedy?I look forward to your [email protected]
