Abt 1870 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	John Marcus Kennedy  [1]
  Born	Abt 1870	Monroe County, Tennessee   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Died	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	"It was stated in a book written by Genelle McDaniel that Mary Bell Dyer the young widow of John Marcus Kennedy was on the way to texas when a young man named Elbert McLemore (?) Metand (?)married Her so it looks like John Kennedy Died in Tennessee and Mary Bell Dyer Kennedy McLemore went on to texas " Source: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/k/e/n/Morris-J-Kennedy-ii/GENE3-0006.html This appears to be supported by the 1880 census, in which Bell Kennedy is listed as widowed, and living with Vola and Oley in the home of her in-laws in Monroe County, Tennessee. In 1900, she is remarried to Elbert McLemore and they are living in Fisher County, Texas, again with Vola and Oley. It is possible, however, that Bell and John Marcus Kennedy simply divorced, as some researchers believe this listing, shown on FindAGrave, could be attributable to John Marcus Kennedy. The dates are Oct 4, 1869 to 6 Jan 1899. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Kennedy&GSfn=John&GSmn=M&GSbyrel=all&GSdy=1899&GSdyrel=in&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=32637930&df=all& (Research):Said to be the son of William Marcus Kennedy II and Chelnessy Barnett of Tennessee.
