Notes
Residence
The U.S.A. began to keep consistent records of passenger arrival and immigration from 1820 onwards. I can't find Kennedy Duff or his wife Mary (née Blackwood) in any of the standard sources including the "Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500 - 1900" (Gale Cengage).I don't know whether they were married in Ireland or America. Their first two sons were born in the U.S.A. in 1832 and 1835, and their younger four children were born in England between 1837 and 1844.
They were in Ireland by 1849, and back in the U.S.A. by about September 1864.
