William was the fourth of eleven children born to Colonel Daniel & Margaret (Hughes) Kennedy of VA, late of Greene Co TN.

He married:
1) Miss Miller, by whom he had 8 children.
2) Mary "Polly" Scott on 6 Jan 1818 in Knox Co TN, the daughter of Colonel James Scott. They had 3 children.

The Draper Manuscript Collection; Kings Mountain Papers, contain letters written by William's son, Daniel R Kennedy. These letters confirm his kinship to Colonel Daniel Kennedy (1750-1802) and the surname of his second wife.

Note: His wife was incorrectly thought to be Elizabeth Purcell, but as our William was only 15 years old at the time, her marriage is to another William Kennedy.
