Jacob KENNEDY / CANADA [scrapbook] was born about 1800 in VA Or TN. He died 10 May 1889 in Knox Co., IL and was buried in Uniontown Cemetery. Jacob married Mabel.
I believe that we are dealing with 3 different Jacobs in IL. This is information on all 3 until the 3 can all be sorted out.
The reason that I have collected this information on Jacob in Pope Co. IL is because Lakes Kennedy from Giles Co. TN received land from a Warrant and it happens to be in the same county in IL as this Jacob. As of right now, I have no idea if this Jacob and Lakes, who is suspected to be a son of John and Sarah Britton Kennedy are related in any way.
