He was born in Breadalbane, Prince Edward Island, the son of Samuel Kennedy and Christy MacKinnon. In 1894, he married Margaret Davison Biggar. Kennedy was first elected to the provincial assembly in a 1906 by-election held after the death of George Simpson. He served in the province's Executive Council as Provincial Secretary-Treasurer and Commissioner of Agriculture.
