Sept. 4, 1725. John is supposed to have died circa 1792 in York Co., Pa. and Elizabeth was still alive in 1793.
I have nine children listed:
1. Tacy (m. John Hays) : b. ca. 1746?; d. ca 1830 possibly in Northampton Twp., Bucks Co., Pa.
2. Joseph (m. 1767 Mary Dillon) : b. ca. 1747? ; d. 1834 in York Co., Pa.

That's as far as I have on the descendants of Anthony Kennard and Elizabeth Townsend. I have other information that Anthony's older brother John Kennard married Elizabeth's aunt, Mary, sister of Stephen Townsend. I only have the names of their seven children: John (b. ca. 1726? ); Mary (b. circa 1728? ; Elizabeth (b. ca. 1730? ; Rachel (b. ca. 1732? in Bedminster Twp.?); Jane (b. circa 1734?); Hannah (b. ca. 1736?); and Sarah (b. ca. 1738?). They were probably all born in Bedminister Twp., Bucks Co., Pa.
where their father died about 1750."
