John A. and Elizabeth Kennedy 1860 Lafayette Co., AR
I am searching for John A. Kennedy born North Carolina and his wife, Elizabeth born NC. In the 1860 census they had children: John 18 b NC; J. 15 b NC; Frances 12 b NC; Bethell 10 b. MS; Loretta 7 b. MS; Sarah 5 b. MS; and Rosannah 2 b. AR. It appears they migrated to Arkansas from Mississippi, but I have been unable to locate them in MS or NC, nor in AR after 1860.
I believe they had a daughter, Jane Dicey, who married Dempsey D. Thompson of Caddo Parish, LA in Arkansas in 1859. I would like to confirm that she is, indeed, their daughter. Dempsy (Dempsey) enlisted in the CSA in Monticello, Drew Co., AR in 1863, and their first three children were born in AR, the last in 1868. By 1870 they were back in Caddo Parish, LA.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
