john kennedy b. 1722 antrim, maybe kirkinriola

AntrimKirkinriola (Antrim)

Family history claims that John Kennedy was born in Antrim in 1722, married a Miss Murray about 1748 and sailed for America shortly thereafter ,landing in Baltimore. They were Scots-Irish.

Any information - leads - would be most welcome.

Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for your message. Unfortunately,it may be difficult to find information given the early dates you mention as the reality of finding documentation pertaining to births/baptisms/marriages/deaths in Ireland prior to 1800 ? particularly in rural areas ? is that they simply may not exist. It may be an idea to contact the Ulster Historical Foundation to see if they can be of assistance, however please note that a fee may apply. Here is their email:
