James Kennedy & Mary Stuart
Ed Teer
I joined the list a few days ago and this is my first post. I'm looking
for the descendants of James Kennedy and Mary Stuart, daughter of Robert
III. I believe she was married to George Douglas, first. Your help would
be greatly appreciated. Also do you know of a book I could buy with this
Kennedy line in it? Thanks.....Twylla

You shouldn't call her Mary Stuart (should be Stewart), the French
spelling was adopted much later by members of the Stewart of Lennox
line about the time Mary, Queen of Scots, went to France.
