Notwithstanding all the care that has been spent on the prep- aration of this work, the Author cannot say that he is satisfied. Though he has done all in his power to collect information relating to the history of each person mentioned, the book must appear to his readers, as it appears to himself, defective in execution and meagre in detail. But had he made perfection his standard it would never have been printed. It is now given to the members of the Kennedy family, in the hope that it may preserve a lively interest in their past history. The original design was to collect the names of the descendants of William Kennedy and his wife Mary Henderson—she was some- times called Marian—from the time of their settlement in Bucks County, in 1730, with the view of placing the manuscript in some for safe and future reference but it has library, keeping ; been thought best to accede to the request of many members of the family, to have it published for their use. With the view of keeping the work within reasonable size, and in order to make it practically useful, it has been found necessary to mention only, and that in a very brief way, the main or essential facts in each person's history, viz., the birth, marriage, number of children, profession or business, religion, politics, and residence. This rule has been varied from, in a few instances, in order to intro- duce the biography of some men of historic interest. It is regretted that, in some instances, correspondents have furnished only the names of the members of their family, without any connecting history. KEY.
