KIRBY / KERBY - I am trying to find information on Albert Lee Kirby/Kerby and his line in Greene County. The research is a little tricky because he was living in the Elem household at 9 years old in 1900 (according to census records). I believe his parents may have been William Kerby and Mary Stephens (or Stevenson). Please let me know how I can help out and also please add me to the surname listing as researching Kerby, Kirby, Elem, Newsom, Stephens, and Stevenson surnames. Thanks SO much, Rick Kirby Rick Kirby

KENNEDY - Researching Kennedy (Canady, etc.), Overall, Freeman, Straughan and Jones lines. James Kennedy left Weakley Co., TN, to Greene Co., Ark., in 1830s and is on 1840 Greene Co. census. In 1850 only his sons Cantrell Bethel Kennedy, born 1826 in TN and George Kennedy are on Greene Co. census. Late 1820s records show a James Kennedy was appointed guardian of Nathaniel Jones' children in Weakley Co. and Gibson Co., TN, records show a marriage between James Kennedy and Catherine Jones. This James may very well be another son of James. Cantrell Bethel Kennedy married Demarias Freeman about 1853 in Greene Co. Demarias was daughter of George B. Freeman and Nancy ___ both born in North Carolina and residents of Greene Co. Cantrell and Demarias' (Dimmer) children and spouses were (1) William Albert F. Kennedy, b. 1852-53, married Lola ___; (2) Mary Ellen (Marila) Kennedy, b. 1854, married Rudolph Dickerson; (3) James Neal Kennedy, b. 9 April 1857, married Mary Emily Overall, daughter of Edmund Overall, Sr. and Susan Straughan. Marriage date was 19 Oct 1896. (4) Ashbell Kennedy, b. 1859; (5) Isaac Claylo Kennedy, b. 1864, married Cindy ___; (6) Joseph Idaho Kennedy, b.1867, married Lily Bratcher and later Mary Jane Wright; (7) Louisa Ann (Sis), b. 1869, married Flavis Harvey. All of these children were born in Greene Co. James Neal Kennedy was my direct ancestor. I would like to correspond with others working on Kennedy and related surnames, especially Jones lines of Greene Co. I am also interested in descendants of Neal McNeal family and Duke Cantrell family of Greene Co. in 1850s and 1860s. John and Barbara Reed

KENNEDY - My great grandfather, Augustus Madison Daniel Kennedy, married Martha Biles in Stanley Co, NC in 1853. He served as a sharpshooter for the Confederacy during the Civil War. After the war he moved his family to Craighead Co. AR. "Gus" and Martha and the children are listed in the 1870 census but not as Augustus Madison Daniel Kennedy. He is listed under the name of Alexander Kennedy. Martha and all the children are listed in the 1880 Census, but since the youngest child is age 4, Gus must have died between 1875 and June, 1880. They are found in Powell Township. I have not been able to find their graves. Augustus and Martha's daughter, Laura, is my paternal grandmother. She married Ezra Berry Warren, son of Rev. David Berry Warren. I am the daughter of Ezra and Laura's son, Thomas Berry Warren, who was born in Paragould. I hope someone will read this and can offer some assistance.
