A bit of a mystery. It seems that this man had children with at least two different women, but I cannot properly narrow down when he was married to the second wife, who he is buried with. Contact me if you have any information on this.

He was born in Gainsborough, Lincoln, Ontario, Canada, to Sarah and David Kennedy.

He married Phoebe Alberta Garrold on December 24th, of 1879. Her parents were Johann Philip Garrold and Catherine Friederike Garrold. They were married in Welland. Phoebe was born in Pelham, and he was born in Gainsborough. He was 25, and she was 28.

Children with Sarah Josephine Garrold:

1) Blanche Alice Louise Kennedy born April 13th, 1883, in Smithville, Ontario, Canada.

She married George R Bell, son of Thomas Bell and Sarah J Brown, on June 5th, 1912. He was 26, born in Glanford, Ontario, and she was 29. They married in Lincoln, Ontario, Canada. Neither of them had ever been married.

2) David William Benson Kennedy born February 13th, 1886 in Lincoln, Ontario, Canada.

3) Johnie Kennedy, born June 18th, 1888, and died January 10th, 1895.

4) Pearl Evangeline Kennedy born April 6th, 1898 in Gainsborough, Lincoln, Ontario, Canada.

She married Harold Clifford Page, son of George Arthur Page and Annie Harland, on June 30th, 1920. He was 30, born in Woodstock, Ontario, and she was 22. They married in Smithville, Lincoln, Ontario, Canada. She was a teacher, and he was an electrician. Neither of them had ever been married, and lived in Hamilton at the time of their marriage.



Mother according to online records: Phoebe Alberta Garrold

5) Gertrude Winnifred Alberta Kennedy. An online transcription lists Jacob Benson Kennedy as her father, but the original document is not attached to check this.

A second document says their daughter Gertrude was born March 26th of 1881, in Gainsborough, Lincoln, Ontario, Canada.

Married name was Rogers. She had at least one child with her husband. The child's name was Gordon K Rogers. He lived with Jacob, Sarah, and Pearl in 1911, in Lincoln, Ontario, Canada, listed as Jacob and Sarah's grandson. The reason for this is unknown.




PERHAPS UNRELATED:

Mother according to online records: Sarah McCarey
6) Evelyn Kennedy. Records show a child named Evelyn Kennedy who was the child of Jacob Kennedy and Sarah McCarey. Evelyn died December 11th of 1915 at 4:30 am at the age of 4 years, 7 months, and 9 days. She died of Syncope brought on by Diphtheria. She was born in Hammond, Indiana, and died in Moulinette, Ontario, Canada. She was buried in Moulinette. Moulinette is now an underwater ghost town.
