Thanks but unfortunately this is all secondary source material=2C but I am =
always interested to review any primary source=2C contemporary references t=
o native O'Kennedys in Donegal or elsewhere in Ulster. I keep an open mind =
on the possibility that they existed but in the meantime=2C there is a Fian=
t pardon record for Teige Duffe O'Kennedy dated 26 Feb 1603. Interestingly =
he is one of the few for whom a townland is not noted but all the others ar=
e from Munster. Their association with Donegal men is entirely to be expect=
ed given their activities at the time. These are described by Dermot Gleeso=
n in 'Last lords of Ormond'=2C ch. 3 'The Ormond chiefs and the Tyrone Rebe=
llion' and the sources he used were all extracted and published in Brian Pa=
trick Kennedy's book on the Irish O'Kennedys.=20
