AVERY KENNEDY, a son of Alexander and Catherine (Brown) Kennedy, was born in Vermont, in 1800. He was reared on a farm, and made farming his life vocation, first locating in Springfield township, Bradford county, Pennsylvania, whence he came to Tioga county about 1856. He purchased a farm in Delmar township, upon which he resided until his death, in 1870. He was a local preacher in the Free Will Baptist church, and preached the gospel in Bradford and Tioga counties. Mr. Kennedy was twice married. His first wife, Julia A. Wilcox, was the mother of seven children, viz: Philura and Mary A., both deceased; Avery J., of Delmar; Daniel and Evelyn, both deceased; Alexander A., a resident of Minnesota, and Samuel W., of Delmar. His second wife was Axey Hugg, who bore him eight children, viz: Stephen F., of Wellsboro; Russell, of Middlebury; Olive, wife of Robert Francis, of Shippen; William, deceased; Lydia, wife of Dickison Francis, of Delmar; Hosea, of the same township; Jennie, wife of Thomas Ashley, and Letitia, wife of Frank Kennedy, both residents of Delmar.

Avery's headstone is incorrect. He died in 1870 and not 1871. This comes from several sources ranging from his newspaper obituary, his Last Will and Testament and 1870 Census Mortality Index.
