Madison Kennedy(3/4/1815-12/6/1891) PICTURE.
was one of the first settlers on New River.  Madison is the son of Old Martin
Kennedy Sr (1790-1849) and his first wife who came from NC, and settled on
Beech Fork Creek about 1824. This is proven in the civil war disability record
of Madisons half brother, Sterling Kennedy.
Old Martin and his 3rd wife Rachel Ward Tackett Thompson is buried in Carroll-
Adkins Cemetery, near Beech Fork Church, Campbell CO TN.

FOLKLORE:  Three Kennedy brothers from North Carolina settled in the
mountains of New River, one brother left and went to Georgia.  If this is true
then the brother who left was Logan, according to and old land deed recorded
in 1838, Madison stated Logan was beyond the reach of the State.  This deed
was written in 1835.
(7) BENJAMIN WARD TO DREW CARROLL (Anderson Co TN 1838)DEED.
According to a writing by Viola Hembree, Madison had a 1/2  brother Goldman,
also a brother named Jackson who lived in Bradley County, Cleveland Tenn.

Madison rode a mule with a leather strap that went all the way around the mule,
under its tail and across the breast to keep the saddle  from sliding, when
going up or down steep grades,  he called it a crupper.

According to tradition when the first settler Grand Mikel Lowe arrived and
claimed Smokey Creek, a Cherokee Indian and his Squaw were living there;
Lowe killed the Indian, the Squaw remained in the white settlement and had
several 1/2 breed children;  One of her daughters, Sarah Carroll(1808-1862)
was first wife of Madison Kennedy.  Madison and Sarah made their home on top
of Bootjack Mountain, in the old mountain footpath from Shea to Smokey Creek.

When the Civil War broke out in 1861 the Confederates were patroling the New
River Area and forcing men to Join or go to prison, several joined but later
deserted and joined the Union Army.  Men who lived in the New River Area
traveled in large groups to Kentucky to join the Union Army,  the group leaders
were called pilots.

11/27/1861;  Madison Kennedy and his sons, William Jackson, Wesley and
Madison Jr., mustered in at Camp Dick Robinson, London, Kentucky and were put
in Co H and G 2nd Regiment, Union army.  Six weeks later, 1/19; and 1/20/1862,
they fight the battle of Mill Springs(Logans Cross Rds)(Battle of Fishing Creek),
the Union Army won this battle.

1/25/1862,  the Union Army marched from Mill Springs to Cumberland Ford,Ky,
the weather was bad, William Jackson Kennedy became sick from exposure, his
mother Sarah came and nursed him at Cumberland Ford Ky.,  and became sick
from exposure also,  they both died and believed to be buried there.  About a
year later a Confederate Patrol passed through Lowe Gap and killed Wesley
Kennedy when he was home on a furlough.

11/6/1873;  About 500 of the 2nd TN Infantry was captured at Rogersville,
TN., by the Confederate 4th Ky Calvery and taken to Belle Isle VA;  and to the
horrible Andersonville Georgia Confederate Prison Camp, where the survivors
spent the winter of 1863-64, by digging holes in the ground to sleep. Prisoners
were put in a large pasture field with no shelter and little food, in places there
was no fence, guards were placed on the dead mans line several yards apart,
anyone who stepped across the line was shot.  Starved and exposued to the
weather hundreds died every day and were buried in long trenches.  When new
prisoners arrived they were robbed of everything by starving fellowmen.

11/29/1864, Madison escaped;  Madison and a group of men from Pennsylvania
who were believed to be musical talented were put to work gathering firewood
and helping the cooks.  Madison gave his shoes to another to take his place
gathering wood, and while foraging for wood they slipped away;  The dogs
caught some of the men.  Madison walked to Tennessee barefoot, taking 21 days
to reach the Union lines; The dogs chewed Madisons legs up badly, because of
this he hated and killed dogs the rest of his life, even though he was an
ordained preacher, active in church and performed many marriages.

Thomas and Profanie White Marlow lived close to Madison at the start of the
Civil War;  Old Thomas Marlow and his sons also traveled to Kentucky and
joined the Union Army;  Old Thomas got sick, died and buried  in Nickolsville
Ky;  Later his widow Profanie, married Madison Kennedy.  Madison and 2nd wife
Profanie(Fanie) White Marlow Kennedy and some family members are buried in
Marlow Cemetery, located beside the Beech fork Road, near Beech Fork Church,
New River Area of District 6, Campbell County Tennessee.
