Patrick Kennedy was the son of a prosperous farmer from County
Wexford, Ireland. He emmigrated to America at the age of 26 to improve
his fortunes. He left a country in the middle of a devastating famine
and arrived in an immigrant ghetto where thousands of his countrymen
had fled to escape near certain death. On board he had met Bridget
Murphy, also from County Wexford and soon married her. He worked as a
cooper and died of consumption in 1858. He only survived 9 years in
this country.
