- The Kennerlys are descended from the Kings of Scotland. Of each of their descendants it can be said, "A Scot, the heir of a long royal race." When the Kennerlys came to America they brought their Family Tree with them and I copied their linefrom an old manuscript owned by one of the descendants. To trace back from the sister of King Robert Bruce to tell from which kings they were descended -- was easily done through Scottish History. I am not giving the names of all of the kings-- only those of our direct line. Many of the Scottish kings had very short reigns. Sometimes when a king left an infant son, every member of his family would reign before the kingdom would go to his son. And the throne went out of familiesand, in two or three generations, back again many times. The Greek King, Neoilus Whilom, banished his son, Prince Gathelus (sometimes called Gaethel Glas). He went to Egypt where he married the beautiful princess, Scota, daughter of the Phaorah Chenthres, King of Egypt. Gathelus and Scota, with a great company of people, left during the plagues of Egypt (time of Moses.) They settled first in Spain. Then hearing of a Green Island, these people (called Scots because of Gathelus 'love for his wife Scota) went to Ireland, led by Prince Hiberus (sometimes called Iber, the first Scot), son of Gathelus. There they lived for some years and then under a descendant, Prince Rothsay, they settled in Scotland. Achaius, King of the Scots, married daughter of King of the Picts. He began the Order of the Thistle. Only 13 members for many years until king said there should be more. His son was: Alpine, his was: Kenneth, I. etc. Ref: Rev. John Craig 1709-1774 His descendants by Rilliam Kennerly Craig
