Notes

Note N598

Luczak family tree on Ancestry.com cites a Maryland district naturalization of Hugh T. Kennedy as pertaining to this man, but I cannot figure out why.

Possibly a twin. One family tree cites 1620 also as the birth of his brother Gilbert. This Gilbert it said to have died 6 Feb 1687 in Dundonald, Down, Ireland.
