Marriage Notes (Thomas Kennedy)
Marriage and children's births not found in Wellfleet or Truro VR. Identification of Thomas's wife as Polly/Mary Ward is tentative, based on a problematic transcription of daughter Hannah's gravestone, and mail list comments.
"Mary" in Mayflower Descendant transcription, "Mercy" in Rich Family transcription and Capecodgravestones.com, "Marcy" in personal inspection..

Thomas Kennedy was in Wellfleet for the 1820 census, but Polly was head of the household in 1830. But Mary is still recorded as "married" at her death, where her parents are listed as Elisha & Mary (no surname), and her age as 83-6..
