| Notes |
- The Kennedy family is descendent from the ancient Earls of Garrick, who lived in Ayershire, Scotland. Duncan de Carrick ('the chief of the clan') lived A.D. 1153. He had a son Nichol de Carrick, and a grandson Roland de Carrick. Roland took the name Kennedy in the 14th Century. In both Scotland and Ireland the name "Kennedy" means 'the head of a sept or clan.' Roland (de Carrick) Kennedy was killed in the Holy War against the Saracens. His daughter married Robert de Bruce. His right to lead the clan was conferred upon him by King Robert II. It is believed that practically all the Kennedys of the world are descendent from Roland Kennedy and from Kennedy of Dunure, who was chief of the clan, Earl of Cassilis and Marquis of Ailsa. The Kennedy Family Records referred to above show our clan to have been very prominent in the development and history of the British Isles, there being kings of both Scotland and England among them. Robert, 2nd King of Scotland, Robert, 3rd King of Scotland, and Henry, 3rd King of England. Also Alfred the Great, King England. All descendents of the original Roland Carrick and Kennedy of Dunure, Marquis of Ailsa. Ref: The Kennedy Records Compiled by J. Montgomery Seaver, American Historical Geneological Society 1415 Montgomery Avenue, Philadelphia, PA (1929) FHL SLC Kennerly 929.273 C844e
