    Hi, I just found your blog and am very interested to see the page on the Kennedy family. The younger John Pitt Kennedy, soldier, engineer and educator, worked with Sir Charles Napier, long before he was knighthed. Napier was Resident (job title) in the Ionian island of Cephalonia (spelling varied through the generations, it was also spelt Cefalonia in the 19th century and is now Kefalonia) from 1822 to 1831. Napier and JPK planned and executed the majority of the road network of the island along with many public buildings, sadly destroyed in the 1953 earthquake which razed most buildings on the island to the ground. JPK was possibly Napier’s closest friend from that time on and was sole executor of Napier’s last will and testament. They wrote many letters to each other and I have transcribed some of JPK’s to Napier. There are Napier Papers collections in the British Library and the Bodleian Library. Another member of Napier’s team on Cephalonia was my 2x great grandfather Edward Curling who was related to Napier’s first wife, Elizabeth. Edward too kept in touch with JPK and even worked with him for a while before taking over as Land Agent to the Earl of Devon’s Irish estate in Newcastle West, Co. Limerick.
