Katherine "Kate" LaVinia / Lavinia Lester
or as Her Married name was
Katherine "Kate" Lester Kennedy
She may have also gone by "Kate Lester"
Lester as a Surname is a shortened version of the place name assumed Surname Leicester in Leicestershire England.
Possibly a French Norman Family may have came to Leicester during the time of William the Conqueror and may have assumed Leicester as their new Surname.
Leicester is a very very old town!!
It was formerly Ligoracester, a word which means (a (roman) fort by the river ligora).
It was one of the 5 boroughs established by the Vikings when they fought the Anglo-Saxons, and Leicester once was occupied by the Romans!
Lester Kennedy got the nickname Cy
like the famous ball player Cy Young
when Lester was a Pitcher for a
textile base ball club in Mississippi
possibly this ball club was for a textile mill and as such was likely sponsored by the mill
the club's name might have Coffeeville or Yalobusha somewhere in the name
speaking of Coffeeville, John Coffee founded the place in MS, and thus may be descended from an Irish Coffee / Coffey Family, as am I.
I (Peter Harris) descend from Coffey on my Grandfather on my Mother's side
Now, lets get back to Lester Kennedy.
He married Noma Elizabeth Chunn
and had 1 son, and 1 daughter
and I am sure this kennedy family of 4 was a loving family!
Lester also had 5 Kennedy sisters who let's say didn't live too long sadly...
at least two or more of them are listed below as his siblings
