Mifflin Kenedy
Mifflin Kenedy (June 8, 1818 – March 14, 1895) was a South Texas businessman who was a partner in ranching and steamboating of Richard King of the large King Ranch. Kenedy County between Corpus Christi and Brownsville and the city of Kenedy in Karnes County, Texas, are named in his honor.
Background
The son of John Kenedy and the former Sarah Starr, Kenedy was born in the Downingtown borough of Chester County in southeastern Pennsylvania. He attended a Quaker boarding school and briefly taught school even before his sixteenth birthday. In the spring of 1834, he worked as a laborer on the vessel called The Star of Philadelphia, which was headed to Calcutta, India. In 1836, he again taught school in Chester County, this time in Coatesville.
After working for a time in a Pittsburgh brickyard, Kenedy began a six-year stint as an acting captain on steam vessels sailing the Ohio, Missouri, and Mississippi rivers. From 1842 to 1846, he was a clerk or substitute captain on The Champion, which sailed on the Apalachicola and Chattahoochie rivers. While in Florida, he first met his future business partner Richard King.
