She and Edward Warren lived after
1865; lived in Birmingham when it was a small place and they were prosperous.514
Her two sons won many prizes as sportsmen, the rewards were put into diamonds
and given to her, she kept them in a small bag, carried in her hand which
she was forever losing. The children of the families she visited-her
relatives-remembered her by her requests that they find the bag !
Finally she left it in her carriage, it was never found, her husband
would make no effort, it was a relief to him !515
Children of Lydia Vernon23 Kennedy and Edward
Warren both b.Birmingham,
Jefferson Co., AL, were as follows:
"lived over ninety-two years dying in February 1941; he went
into the Confederate Army when he was in his teens and for years took a
leading part in the affairs of the United Confederate Veterans, being Commander
in Alabama, known as "General" Kennedy and was the last Commander of the
Army of the Mississippi; when he died he was the oldest living Alumnus
of the University of Alabama and the oldest living member of the Kappa
Alpha Fraternity. For some years toward the end of his life he visited
my mother here in Florence; he said he liked to sit in the porch and look
at the very large oak trees in the park, he stood beside his father when
he planted them in 1852 and then look across the park at the Federal Building
his son designed. On the last visit in June 1940 he asked to have his photograph
made on the new bridge over the Tennessee River as he thought he was the
only person who remembered the three former bridges; the second was burned
by the Confederate forces to try to keep the Yankees from crossing, and
he stood on the south bank and watched the steel curl like ribbons. He
practiced law in Tuscaloosa and was a cotton planter. He married Joanna
McLester of a prominent family there; they had six children: Richard McLester
died young; John Robie, Jr. an architect for the Government many years;
Mary Semonters, married first L.C.Lane and had two daughters, Margaret
and Mary McLester; Ethel Veda, an accomplished musician in Tuscaloosa and
widow of Benj. Cabell by whom she had a son Benjamin; Louise, the first
wife of Benj. Cabell died in 1918 leaving a son John who flew the first
B-36 across the Atlantic; and Orlando Palmer, married Pearl Heath, lived
in Baton Rouge and retired after thirty-six years of successful business.
John Robie and his family who have died are buried in Tuscaloosa,
tombstone reads b. 9 June 1848; d. 14 Feb 1941.
"He entered the Cumberland University at Lebanon, Tennessee
and was graduated in the law dept. in 1870. Kennedy did not pursue his
practice of law preferring the more active life of farming and other interests.
He devoted his energies to a plantation along Warrior River, served as
Secretery and Treasurer of the Tuscaloosa Land and Loan Co. Also of the
Tuscaloosa Coal, Iron and Land Company. Was elected one of its directors.522
He "on last visit to Florence, he asked to have his photograph made on
the new bridge over the Tennessee River as he thought he was the only person
who remembered the three former bridges in Jun 1940.523
"This appeared in Methodist Christian Advocate:
General John R. Kennedy one of the few remaining confederate
veterans, died on the 14 of February at the age of 93 at the home of his
daughter Mrs. W.L. Reid in Auburn. He was a native of Florence, Alabama
and was a graduate of the University of Alabama. He made his home for many
years in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He was a steward in The First Methodist Church
there for sixty years.
The Tuscaloosa News writing his obituary, justly called him
"one
of the real stalwarts who brought this section of Alabama through Reconstruction
days and later periods of crisis." The Methodist Church of Tuscaloosa
remembers him best for his service in music, though there are few among
its membership who can recall the power and gust with which his fine base
voice rang out during the twenty years in which he was a member and director
of the choir, 1880-1900 on 20 Feb 1941.524

lessons. She was a charter member of Tuscaloosa Music Study Club. Until
her death, in 1952, at the age of 93, she was a loyal and valued member
of the Womens Society. Mr. Perkins was also very active in the church.
All through the last years of the nineteenth century and well into the

In a letter from Marie Ann Wiley in Dec 1855.659:
"Dear Aunt:- I have got another little sister, she is eight months old
and we think that she is a very smart baby of her age and her name is Lura
Leland, she looks very much like father only she has got blue eyes . .
. . . . . I do not like the place where we are living now as well as the
place where we lived in Momenco. It would not be so bad if it were not
for the bugs." She was living in Zeno, Ohio when
General John Morgan made his raid through Ohio during the Civil War. Morgan's
raiders were hotly pursued by the Union forces and as their horses played
out they seized others. When they came to the Stevens place, the two girls,
Eliza and Virginia were at school, some distance away and had there horses
with them. Aunt Judith told Morgan that she grew up in Virginia and sympathized
with the South and asked him not to take the girls' horses when they passed
the schoolhouse. The General promptly sent a detail and escorted the young
ladies home in style. Charles Wood Eberlein, Kiamath Falls, Oregon, told
me in June, 1942 " that this chivalrous action on the part of General
Morgan did not prevent their taking all the horses when they left.
I don't believe Aunt Judith was ever fully reconstructed, and my father
said she made a Rebel out of Uncle Lige, though he by descent was a Connecticut
Yankee."660

In a letter to her sister Judith Stevens she recounts their hardships of
the previous winter. They were running a custom tailoring shop and had
not made enough to pay the rent, $8.00 oer mo. There was too much ready
made clothing on the market. The house was cold and wood was $5.00 per
cord and coal $10.00 per ton. Mr. Wiley, who was not well, was at their
farm 16 miles from North Kingston, and 8 miles south of Belvidore, Boone
Co., Ill. They had a cement house on the farm but it had fallen down and

to his liking, he came to Ohio in 1844 and engaged in the General Merchandise
business at Kieth's and Sharon, Noble County, Ohio, after 1861.723
Items from Madge Leland Cochran's letters indicate that Baldwin M. Leland,
Jr. was a southern sympathizer during the war, as were many other residents
of southeastern Ohio who had come from Virginia. This was a stonghold of
the Knights of the Golden Circle, headed by Clement L. Vallandigham. The
object of this organization was to help Rebel prisoners escape, or get
them exchanged, and to destroy Government property. In the basement of
B.M. Leland's store, the Hoskinville Rebellion was planned. Some of the
leaders were prosecuted but B.M. was crafty enough so they did not get
him. Hoskinville is between Sharon and Cumberland.724

Jr., b. June 19, 1725. The ceremony was performed by Rev. John Leland.

Children of Elisabeth (Betsy) Fauntleroy23 Leland
and William F. Stevens all b. OH were as follows:
She worked at clerical positions and was with the government
in Washington a long time.737
She never married, she took care of her mother for many years.
J.A.C. Leland was about 5 ft. 10in. in height, very square
shoulders, brown curly hair and brown eyes, weight 150 lbs. He had a loud
voice. On one occasion he told the hired man to go to Cool's store one
mile away and get some nails. When the man arrived the clerk handed him
the nails. Though only a lad when brought from Virginia, he never lost
his Virginia accent. He would go to the foot of the stairs of a morning
and call to the youngest son, Hamer, "Hamah! Get up. My Lawd Amighty, its
fo' o'clock." He supported the Union in the Civil War. I heard him say,
"Ah can nevah fo'give the Democratic Pahty of Ohio fo' nominating Clement
L. Vallandigham fo' Gove'nah, when this country was bleeding." Vallandigham
was a Southern sympathizer and head of the Knights of the Golden Circle.
He came to our place when I was about five years old and gave each of my
sisters a silver dollar and me a five dollar gold piece. I thought it was
a cent and set up a howl that I wanted one like the girls had. Mother rescued
the five dollar gold piece that I had thrown on the floor, as Grandfather
readily agreed to give me a dollar for it. It was customary in that part
of Ohio to give a namesake his first suit. I wore kilts 'till I was six.
How he stayed out of the Civil War is unknown to the writer. Maybe he hired
a substitute. In the 60's he went to McLean, McLean Co., Illinois, and
engaged in the mercantile business with Thornton Cotton. In 1902, the name"
Leland & Cotton" was still legible on the building. He returned to
Ohio in 1867 and bought the farm
near Bristol. He added to it until it comprised 400 acres and was one of
the best in the County. 745
