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.
