History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 477. [Bourbon County] [Paris City and Precinct] NATHAN KENNEDY, farmer; P. O. Paris; was born in Bourbon County, May 20, 1793, the youngest child of his father's family; his father was Joseph, who died in 1797; his wife was Christiana Akers, a daughter of Joseph Akers, who died aged 104 years. Joseph Kennedy's ancestors were of Scotch-Irish stock; Joseph Kennedy was one of the earliest settlers in this county. The red man had not given up his hunting grounds here, but was slowly wasting away at the approach of the enterprising white settler. Joseph had six children, four sons and two daughters. The subject of these lines located on the farm he now owns in 1817, situated on the Maysville and Lexington Pike, and has since remained; he purchased his land at $20 per acre of Garret Jones. Mr. Little was the first settler. Mrs. Kennedy died in 1849; Mr. Kennedy has two sons in Missouri, Jacob in Monroe County, Zadock at Pleasant Hill, Cass County. Catharine is the wife of Robert Layson; and David who resides in this precinct, was born 1832, and is the youngest child of the family. At the age of twenty he left home to do for himself; for several years he was employed in stock driving, having in charge mules for the distant markets. In September, 1862, he married Anna Myall, a native of England, who emigrated to the country when two years of age; her parents were Edward and Rachel (Lawrence) Myall, who came to Maysville in 1842; Mr. Myall removed to California in 1877; his wife died in 1864; they had a family of nine children. Mr. Kennedy located on the farm he now owns in 1866; is engaged in farming, and gives some attention to raising fine horses; he has three children: Samuel J., Owen D., and Edward B. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church.
