Sacred
to the memory of
GEORGE KENNEDY,
who died
May 18,1828
aged 77 years.

In speaking of Judge George N. Kennedy it was said "In the paternal line he came of Irish descent, his grandfather, George Kennedy, Sr., being a native of the Emerald Isle, whence he crossed the Atlantic to America in 1760. When the colonies attempted to throw off the yoke of British oppression, he joined the Continental army."-Past and Present of Onon. Co., 2:349. Onon. Cent. said: "George Kennedy, jr., came from Saratoga county to Marcellus about 1816, and in 1831 removed his family to Skaneateles, where he remained three years, that his children might have the advantages of the academy there." He was thus in that place six years after the death of his father, who may have lived with him for some years, being buried in the old Marcellus cemetery. The latter, however, was in Ballston, N. Y., in 1790, and his name appears in the 12th regiment of Albany Co.
