Mailing List No. 032

SEPTEMBER 2014

Welcome to this issue of the Mountainy Kennedys mailing list. We cover many aspects of the history of the Kennedys of North Tipperary and particularly the Kennedys who went into the mountain areas following the Cromwellian dispossessions of the 1650s.

With the recent inauguration of the first Irish Kennedy chief for hundreds of years we now have Chief Rody Kennedy of Rearcross, Tipperary, for Kennedys and their relatives to rally around.

Many people are now becoming aware of the proud history of the Kennedys and of their fortitude and perseverance which serve as an inspiration for us all.

We have had quite a number of new mailing list members. We bid you all welcome. If this message is passed on to you by a member and you would like your own copy to be sent to you directly please contact me at: mountainykennedys@gmail.com

OCTOBER 2014

After over 350 years the memories of the Mountainy Kennedys of their descent from “The Lords of Ormond” had faded. The lines of descent of the Kennedys who went into the mountains rather than transplant to Connacht have now provided historical reference points. Through the contributions of many individuals to gathering and sharing information, the story of the Mountainy Kennedys is emerging from the obscurity of hundreds of years.
