You are looking for sources. I have two sources, they came from national genealogy data bases. I would like to add them, but there is a problem with one. One of them is a sealed military record. This record would link history, and change a recording in history.

History states that Patrick Kennedy Sr. died November 22, 1858. His son, and last child, P.J. Kennedy Jr., according to known history, was born January 14, 1858. The way history has this, the son, P.J. Kennedy Jr., was 10 months old at the time of his father's death.

I am opening this up for discussion.

What is the point of this information since the dates and ages obviously don't match up with the same Patrick Kennedy listed in this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.235.14.189 (talk) 17:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
