DR. T. H. KENNEDY is the son of Richard and Martha R. (Early) Kennedy, niece of Bishop Early. Richard Kennedy became the father of eight children and in his religious views was a Baptist. Our subject first saw the light of day in Virginia. He was born October 25, 1827, and was educated in the Old Dominion. In 1848 he entered the Philadelphia College of Medicine, and, after graduating in 1850, immigrated to Tennessee and began practicing his profession. The same year he led to the hymeneal altar Miss Sallie H. Waldron, of Virginia, who died in 1851. He afterward married Miss Fannie H. Humphries, who is a woman of intelligence and is in every sense of the word a helpmeet. Dr. Kennedy owns a fine farm, comprising 265 acres of fertile and well cultivated land in the Fourth District of Williamson County, and he may truly be said to be a leading citizen. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
