Pending Research: List of Heirs

• re: 11. Daniel Kennedy RWS
• Pending verification of lawsuit. ^{[1] [2]}

• Heirs of Daniel Kennedy who were 'reported' as sued in 1810 by Heirs of Thomas Buckingham (only source of childlist, original of suit not found): The list below is in the numbered order as listed in the 'report' of the lawsuit. Daniel's widow, Margaret, was listed, along with sons and sons-in-law. Since Margaret was the only female listed, it stands to reason she was the widow of Daniel.
