Notes

Note NI1653Janet Binkley provided these notes for John Kennedy: 1

John KENNEDAY, a “freeman” and doctor, paid taxes in 1770 in Salisbury Tp, on the eastern edge of Lancaster Co PA; he appears under KANNEDAY there in 1771. So he was not yet married to Ann JOHNSON and living in Lampeter.

We wonder how he met Ann BINKLEY-JOHNSON; perhaps he had moved into Lancaster Boro, perhaps he attended her husband Richard JOHNSON in his last illness in the summer of 1767.

John KENNEDY in 1776 was one of the witnesses for the will of Henry BINKLEY, younger brother of KENNEDY’s wife Ann. The other witness was Ann & Henry’s brother Christian BINKLEY. KENNEDY is shown taking the Oath or affirmation of Allegiance & Fidelity on 13 June 1777 and on a duplicate list with the date 5 July 1777. His name appears on both lists next to a Joseph KENNEDY and is listed 2 men away from Jacob DENNER = DONNER, another resident of Lampeter Twp and neighbor of the BINKLEYs on Mill Creek.

Index to Wills and Intestate records in Lancaster Co shows John KENNEDY 1781 died intestate.

Taxes for 1780 show the "Widow KENNEDY" paying in Lampeter Tp, so Dr. KENNEDY must have died before those taxes were collected in Jan.-Mar. 1781. Suggests he died late in 1780 or very early in 1781, with the estate handled in 1781.

1 Aug 1782 Lanc. Co. Orphans Court [p. 45], shows John KENNEDY, deceased, late of Lampeter tp., doctor of physic, Admin. Ann KENNEDY the widow, produced her account of the estate and the court approved the balance. Monies owed to the accountant to be charged against the estate.

An Ann KENNEDY died intestate 1790.
