Biography
Roderick was born in 1822. He passed away in 1911. [1]
My connection with this family is superficial. His son, Dr. Alexander Kennedy born 1854 was married to Ida M Howard, the niece of my gr grandfather James Connor Howard. If I have time in the future I will pursue this line further. If anyone wishes more info on this line, they can check the following for info back to the 1400's.
