Families covered: Kennedy of Blairquhan
| Part of the following was first uploaded to a Temporary page on 22.07.15, using Paterson, "with a little support from 'Historical Account of the Noble Family of Kennedy' (1849, by Hugh Blair?, p18+)", and cross-references from elsewhere in the database. Paterson conflates the early generations of Johns and does not always spell out the relationships between the lairds, that being part of the reason why viewed our work in 2015 as needing further research. We thank Gordon MacGregor for doing that research and pulling the information together in a cohesive fashion. | |||||||||||||||
