Along with the meaning of the name, and historical facts connected to the Kennedy name in Scotland and Ireland, their connection with the family of Robert Bruce, King of Scotland (1274-1329) these are the descendants of Rev. Thomas Kennedy, of Ireland and Scotland. He had two children, Thomas and John. John married Lily and they had one son, Andrew. John was a Presbyterian minister. Andrew emigrated to America and settled in Penna. His descendants are numerous. Another branch shows Rev. Gilbert Kennedy emigrated to America in 1730, with his brothers Robert and William. We also see the branch in Virginia, the Hume-Kennedy family, as well as related lines.
