1. Dr. Joseph Kennedy, who married the widow Mrs. Mary Dick - Hinson, was not the son of William Crawford Kennedy and Mary Ann Kennedy. This is a myth that has continued to propagate throughout the Internet. There are many published sources that have incorrect information such as this.
2. Mary's name was not Mary Josie Kennedy, another false bit of data that has continued to spread.
3. Dr. Kennedy's middle name is not Pulaski. There is no documentary evidence to support this. Pulaski was his son's middle name Joseph Pulaski Kennedy (1781-1825), most likely in tribute to Casimir Puluski, the Polish cavalryman who distinguished himself in SC during the Revolutionary War.
4. My brother is a direct descendant, proven by DNA.
