While recently researching the rumored marriage of a Scots-Irish Immigrant by the name of David Kennedy, Sr. to a Native American woman in colonial Pennsylvania in the early-1700s, I uncovered a dark secret that remained hidden in my wife's family for nearly three hundred years. This revelation was so shocking to my wife, who was raised north of the Mason-Dixon Line, that she initially viewed my findings with disbelief — now she views them with sorrow.
