Subject: RE: The Gypsie Laddies 500th Anniversary ??
Sorry folk I ommitted the word Ireland in my previous post.
-- they cross over to Gallowa in 1452 from Ireland.----
David Kennedy,not then 1st Earl of Cassillis would be an aged man
at the
time of his marriage in 1507. The young lady being a niece of
King James 111.
Question;---was the young lady pregnant & in urgent need of a
husband, John Fall not being allowed to marry her? Kennedy for a
good bribe[an Earldom]proving amenable.
The Kennedys lost Cassillis in 2009 after a period of 700 years
or so.
