From WPA records. Also, from another website that was not recorded: "Eldest son of Allen Kennedy; became a prominent physician at Chattanooga after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, where he was Phi Beta Kappa. In 1856, he was an alderman, and he was a delegate to a meeting on the Wills Valley Railroad. Dr. Kennedy was able to purchase the William Ragsdale mansion at the foot of Cameron Hill in 1859 for $5,000. That same year he suffered the death of his wife, the former Margaret Rowena Williams of Nashville. Their children were William Jr. and Rowena, born the year of her mother's death. The Kennedys also had a country home, which was located where Central Avenue and Main Street later were to intersect."
