Jayne - I'm interested in all of the KENNEDY families connected with the
CATHEY and LOCK and BRANDON families. And I'm very interested in the
family who named one dtr. Janette.
Family names in my KENNEDY - CATHEY - ERWIN families include:
Janette; Thomas; Lock; George; besides the ever so common ones of
John, William etc.
These families were in NC - SC - TN - MS and then > AR - TX and other parts
of the country.
