Family:Hugh Kennedy and Elizabeth Young (1)

Records passed down from Grandfather Hugh Euda Kennedy born in Wolf Creek, Monroe County, West Virginia in 1883.

Restored Marriage Bonds, Volume 9, 1802-1803, pg. 65 Hugh Kennedy and James Young, surety, in bond on marriage of said Hugh Kennedy and Elizabeth Young, daughter of Robert Young, dec., of Augusta Co., dated 11 Nov 1802, consent by James Young for sister Elizabeth, past 21 years to marry Hugh Kennedy of Rockbridge co., VA."

This record fits here perfectly except for the fact that Elizabeth is not listed in Robert's will. I suggest this is because he named all the children in his will by his first wife in his will, and felt that his 2nd wife would care properly for their daughter Elizabeth in her own will.
