Son of Alexander Kennadie and Jane Johnstone, Born in Logie, Perth Scotland. John served in the Second Jacobite Rebelion of 1745-46 in Keppoch's Regiment,32 years old, he was 5'9" tall, Black hair, well made. Taken south in May 1746 on board the transport "Jane of Leith" transported 5 May 1747 from Liverpool to Leeward Islands on "Vetran" The ship was Liberated by a French Privateer and landed on the Island of Martinique June 1747 with 1000 other prisoners taken at the Battle Culloden Moor, They were transported on 5 ships.
The British requested return of the Prisoners aboard the Vetran.
At what time John made his way to The Colonies is unknown but a Court record found in Halifax co Virginia for 1751 mentions John Kennedy living in a Scotch Settlement and was paid 65 pounds of tobacco for someone trespasing on his land.
In 1777 the family moved to Rowan county Now Guilford county North Carolina and settled. It is unknown if John served in any way in the war of the Revolution but it is highly likely since he had such deep scars from the English in his past..
Our John was 32 when he was taken prisoner and shiped to the Americas so he more than likely had a Wife and family that was left behind in Scotland when he was banished from Britan. Atleast 1 son did serve in the Revolution and that was Sgt. Sherwood Kennedy born October 14,1760 Halifax co Virginia. it is possible that his brother John also served in some way..
