Notes

from ai

Victoria Lipe Foreman (b. August 12, 1883) and James Stephenson Kennedy had at least two children: Ada Foreman Kennedy and James Foreman Kennedy.

Here’s what we know about them:

👶 Children of Victoria Lipe Foreman and James S. Kennedy

• Ada Foreman Kennedy

• Likely named after her grandmother, Ada McClellan Foreman.

• Appears in family genealogies but with limited public records.

• May have married and changed her surname, making her harder to trace in later records.

• James Foreman Kennedy

• Carried both family names, reflecting the Foreman lineage.

• Some records suggest he may have lived in Oklahoma or Arkansas, but further details are sparse.

Victoria herself was a graduate of the Cherokee Female Seminary in 1903 and came from a prominent Cherokee family. Her father, Taylor Foreman, was a Cherokee leader and Presbyterian minister, and her siblings included military officers and educators.

If you’re building out a family tree or exhibit panel, I can help you trace descendants or locate census and cemetery records to confirm more about Ada and James’s lives.
