Biography

Elizabeth was born about 1730. She was the second wife of William Kennedy. She was named in her husband's will dated 12 March 1787 in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.[1]

Her husband William bequeathed most of his estate to his grandson Henry (Hugh’s son) and granddaughter Sarah Sill (Isabella’s daughter), which they could not inherit until Elizabeth's death. Henry with wife Isabella (daughter of George and Isabella Sill) sold his share of the land to Casper Harshman on 13 June 1796[2] Elizabeth died sometime before that date.
