Note: Phoebe's middle name was possibly Emeline and short Emily? I have my DNA on Family Tree DNA and I have matched 3 descendants of theWaldrop family.
All 4 of us match on the same spot on our 7th chromosome showing that weall 4 share a
common ancester. So this make it more likely that Joseph Waldrop is ourPhoebe's father.
It is a good possibility that Joseph Waldrop is the father ofPhoebe(Kennedy). Joseph
Waldrop was born about 1745 in Hanover County, Virginia. He died about1818 in Probably
Crawford County, Illinois. He was having kids in Granville County, NorthCarolina in the
1770s, and Phoebe was born in 1773 in NC. (this coming from the 1850Franklin Co. Il.
Census) The Waldrop's family then was living in Laurens Co. SC and Josephhad 4 daughters
on the 1790 census.

2 males > 16, 2 males < 16, 5 females, 2 slaves.
Then on the 1800 Laurens SC census Joseph had a daughter who was 26-44.Phoebe being born
in 1773 would have been 26 or 27 years old.

Then the Waldrop family moved to Christian Co. KY in about 1802. Phoebeand James Kennedy was
married about 1802-1803. Phoebe was about 29-30 when she got married. Onthe 1810 census for
Christian Co. KY James Kennedy was living a few houses down from theWaldrop's family.

Here is something else I found. Joseph Waldrop's land in Christian Countykentucky was next to
James Kennedy's land. This makes it more likely that this is the rightfamily. Also look at the
date (17 May 1803) almost exactly 9 months before Nancy Ann Kennedy'sbirth. Marty Restivo
Christian County, Kentucky, Land Surveys, Book 2, page 200, not dated butprobably 17 May 1803,
Surveyed for Joseph Waldrop 145 acres of land in Christian County on theWaters of Pond River by
Virtue of a Certificate granted to him by the County Court of Christian#___[missing] Beginning

S20E102 poles to a post oak, thence S85E264 poles to a Beech, thenceN10E102 poles to the Beginning.

Then in 1811-12 James Kennedy and his family moved to Crawford Co. Il.and the same time the
Waldrop family moved to Crawford County illinois. Also with all of thisit looks like this is
a good possibility.

This blockhouse or fort had been erected here about the commencement ofthe war of 1812, and the
rangers quartered in it were under the command of Capt Pierce Andrew, afrontier officer. Mr Cullom
