: Looking for info on Jane (Jennie) Kennedy Born Ireland late 1700's or early 1800's. She married Samuel Anderson. They were in the USA by 1851 when they had a son born in NYC, NY by the name of William Maitland Anderson. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Eddie Lynn Davis<p>:I am the great grandson of William Maitland Anderson (through Charles Samuel Anderson through Ray Anderson).<br>I am guessing that we are related, but I am not sure how; what is your relation to William Maitland?<br>I am also wondering if you know Anna Beth Ward, who has spent many years researching the Anderson family history?<p>My wife and I travelled to Scotland late last year looking for information about Jane Kennedy / Samuel Anderson / etc.<br>We certainly have some information about Samuel and Jane and their family, although we'd certainly like to find more.<br> I'll summarize what we know, and can give you more details if you have an interest.<p>Jane was born in Ireland about 1818, most likely somewhere in the 5 counties of Northern Ireland because of her <br>Presbyterian background. Samuel would have been born about 1817 in Ireland. The Great Famine hit Ireland in 1845, and most <br>likely drove them to Scotland along with many others. Samuel worked as a "sugar baker" in a sugar refinery in Port Glasgow<br>Scotland, and they were married in the Parish church there in April 1846. We have visited that church. A year later their <br>daughter Mary was born. In 1849, with Jane pregnant, they sailed aboard a ship called the Cuthberts (at nearby Greenoch<br>Scotland) to the United States. We visited the old Custom House in Greenoch from which thousands of Irish and Scottish<br>emigrants last saw their homeland.<br>I'll not say anymore at this point until I find out more about you. I was quite surprised to find a "hit" when I did a search for<br>William Maitland Anderson!<p>
