My records show that Vada Kennedy was a daughter of Jesse M. Kennedy (b. 1861 TN; d. 1940; buried at Doe Creek Cemetery near Scotts Hill, TN; and Ella A. Presley Kennedy (b. 1858; d. 1943; also buried at Doe Creek). Other issueincluded: Bob, Drew, Florey, and Dorey.
Jesse M. Kennedy was a son of Shadrick Hugh "Shade" Kennedy (b. 1832, d. 1922, buried at Doe Creek) and Martha Caudle (b. 1834, d. 1928. The couple was married on 1 May 1856. Other issue included: Absalom Robert, Samuel, Shadrick M. "Shack", Cynthia Elizabeth, Martha Jane, George, Mary L., James David "Jim," Idella, and Billie I.
Shadrick Hugh "Shade" Kennedy was a son of Robert J. Kennedy (many spelling variations, e.g. Kenada, Kenedy, Canada, etc.) and Cynthia Eason. Robert J. was b. c1801 NC; d. 1884 Decatur Co., TN; and married c.1825. In the 1880 U. S. Census, Robert J.'s father's POBwas listed as Maryland. Robert J. is believed to be the younger brother of Hugh Kennedy (same spelling variations). To my knowledge, Hugh and Robert J.'s parentage has not been proven.
