one of his children, George W b 8/22/1860 in
Delaware, they moved to Maryland when he was
l6. He m in l885, Margaret E Crosson, b 6/22/1861,
dau of
Kennedy Crosson of family that owned alot of land
near Langenburg. Kennedy's farm was immediately
south of the farm taht was Davis Whitten's.
In l898 they moved onto Kennedy Crosson's farm,
which George W appears to have owned, since he
ran it as if he did and profitted from it greatly.
Two of their three children lived;
Martha Ann, b 4/21/1889
George I b 9/9/1892.
I wonder if Crosson farm became the "George I Smith"
farm near Chesterville that Jim McVey heard about
from his mother and wondered if it was John Smith's
farm?

London Presbyt Ch cemetery.
Adopted one son at age six as of 1903; William J Kennady.
He created rucus, was temporarily jailed because he threw
a violent rage, believing he was disinherited, burned his
father's will, tried to flee (?) and was found hiding in a
doorway of the family house. Eventually it was decided he
inherited his father's estate.
A brother of John Westly committed suicide due to depression.
Robert Sr came from Ireland; James Kennedy married Catherine
Dehaven is not of the same family. The Kennady's were a
small family.
(notes from Jim McVey make it appear
that he may be son of marriage to Catherine sister of Mary
Dehaven; she married James Kennedy 1785-1860, that is signif
for some reason.)

He served one term in the state legislature. Then, after
1908, he went to Salt Lake City, Utah, as a special agent

death certificate. On 28 Aug 1908
prob in Delaware City, Delaware, he married Julia Rebecca C
Sadler, the daughter of James E adn Laura Sadler. She d 1927.
The 1900
census shows her in Delaware City with her family and
Willard Smith, strangely enough, boarding. James Sadler
is said by Willard's son's widow to have been a mayor of
Delaware City, and Willard's son William was a mayor of
Delaware City for about two terms in the 1950's or so. James
Sadler was also a coal seller. Smith family members still
live on James Sadler's property, but in 1900, it was mortgaged
