Unless I got something wrong it seems the family also lived in Wetzel County, WV.
The widow Sarah Kenedy, born Dec 1844 in PA, was living in Wetzel County in 1900. The family also includes Lizzie, born Oct 1882, Dora, born Aug 1886, Allie, born Aug 1886 and Mary, born Oct 1888.
In the 1880 census in the same county is Sanford Kennedy 29, Jane 25, James , Martha 4/12.
I could not find Sarah's death record. I did find the birth record for James, Mary, Dora and Alice, as well as the 1897 death record of G. Kennedy: http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_select.aspxhttp://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_select.aspx
Because of how close Monongalia County is to Greene County, PA I think it is possible Sarah is one of the Sarah J. Ashby's who appear in the 1860 and 1870 census living there. One has J. W. as the father and Nathan asthe other. Perhaps by finding something on those families you can find if either had a daughter who married Gawen. Try the Cornerstone Genealogical Society in Waynesburg to see if they can help you.
