Son of Alexander Kennadie and Jane Johnstone, Born in Logie, Perth Scotland. John served in the Second Jacobite Rebelion of 1745-46 in Keppoch's Regiment,32 years old, he was 5'9" tall, Black hair, well made. Taken south in May 1746 on board the transport "Jane of Leith" transported 5 May 1747 from Liverpool to Leeward Islands on "Vetran" The ship was Liberated by a French Privateer and landed on the Island of Martinique June 1747 with 1000 other prisoners taken at the Battle Culloden Moor, They were transported on 5 ships.
The British requested return of the Prisoners aboard the Vetran.
At what time John made his way to The Colonies is unknown but a Court record found in Halifax co Virginia for 1751 mentions John Kennedy living in a Scotch Settlement and was paid 65 pounds of tobacco for someone trespasing on his land.
In 1777 the family moved to Rowan county Now Guilford county North Carolina and settled. It is unknown if John served in any way in the war of the Revolution but it is highly likely since he had such deep scars from the English in his past..
Our John was 32 when he was taken prisoner and shiped to the Americas so he more than likely had a Wife and family that was left behind in Scotland when he was banished from Britain. Atleast 1 son did serve in the Revolution and that was Sgt. Sherwood Kennedy born October 14,1760 Halifax co Virginia. it is possible that his brother John also served in some way..

1776
Age 81
Thomas Jefferson's American Declaration of Independence endorsed by Congress. Colonies declare independence.
1776 ? The Declaration to the King
Age 81
"""At the end of the Second Continental Congress the 13 colonies came together to petition independence from King George III. With no opposing votes, the Declaration of Independence was drafted and ready for all delegates to sign on the Fourth of July 1776. While many think the Declaration was to tell the King that they were becoming independent, its true purpose was to be a formal explanation of why the Congress voted together to declare their independence from Britain. The Declaration also is home to one of the best-known sentences in the English language, stating, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
