Mom and I spent part of the day in Lincoln and Garrard Counties visiting cemeteries looking for ancestors. My maternal grandmother’s maiden name is Kennedy. Her father is buried at Buffalo Springs Cemetery in Lincoln County. I haven’t found burial records for my second, third, and fourth great grandfathers, but my fifth great grandfather James Kennedy Sr. (1735-1825) is buried at Old Paint Lick Cemetery in Garrard County. One of his sons was Thomas C. Kennedy, a Revolutionary War veteran who owned property in the area. Harriet Beecher Stowe visited his home while gathering material for Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
Stay healthy and safe.
