Hi, all! My great aunt spent years researching, and was unable to find any trace of our ancestor, John Kennedy, for three years after being freed in Martinique. Her conclusion was, as essentially an escaped prisoner, he lived under the radar until later when he deemed it safe. We don't know where he spent the time between being freed in Martinique and appearing in Halifax County, VA three years later when he married.
