Misc. Notes
Ann Hewitt gave me this name as Mary Rezy Kenady. The Essex County Marriages at the Essex County GenWeb site list her as Mavid Kenady. Jos. Peck gives her as Maria Raisey.
Both Raisey and Kenada families appear in 1880 census, as well as the more recognized spelling of Kennedy. Irish would have prounounced it ken-a-day. It’s entirely possible or likely that Kenada was a previous marriage.
Headstone says Maria wife of Adoniram Peck d. 8-7-1891 Ae. 67 yrs.
261 There are other Kennedys in the cemetery. She gave her age as 59 in the 1880 census, which would mean b. app. 1821.
In 1870, she was living in Jay with her husband Adoniram. She was 45, had real estate worth $200 and personal estate worth $300, and was listed as blind.
29 I’m wondering if Lucretia could be her sister:
