Thomas Kennedy lived in the Georgetown neighborhood and served as a delegate from Washington County in the Maryland State legislature. He published Poems (1816) and Songs of Love and Liberty (1817). He is remembered by the Speaker’s Society of the Maryland House of Delegates, who present an annual Thomas Kennedy Award to recognize a former House member for “personal courage and dedication to the principle of liberty and freedom.” The Thomas Kennedy Center, in Hagerstown, MD, created a park and sculpture in his honor in 2018.
