My Piper Family connection to JFK?

(Jody Gray) Is JFK my  27th cousin 2x removed? If he is related to the Stewart's of Scotland's Monarchy, then, yes. However, it appears that there is no verifiable records of his ancestry prior to his immigrant ancestors, Patrick Kennedy and Bridget Murphy who emigrated from Ireland in 1848 and settled in Boston, Massachusetts. The only information in regard to Patrick's "origins" comes from US Census records that state he was born in 1823, in Ireland. there are no civil records or church records to identify his parentscorroborative paperwork, or even gravestones, have yet to surface
  I spent WEEKS researching the possibility, see, *Media: Piper relationship to President John F. Kennedy -this lineage comes from the Dowling Family Tree; the names, titles, birth dates are from this tree. The Dowling Tree lacks validation and I found some missing links, which are noted as *missing link.
  I broke the project into groups. The Stewart-Kennedy connection. Media: House of Stewart and the Albany Stewarts: Marjorie Bruce (1297-1316), the daughter of Robert I, the Bruce, King of Scots, she married Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland (1296-1327). Robert II, King of Scots (1316-1390). Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany (1340-1420). Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany (1362-1425). Walter Stewart (1395-1425). Media: Descendants of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany: Walter Stewart (1424-1488). Alexander Stewart (1440-1489). Andrew Stewart, Lord van Avandale (1470-1513). *missing link, Andrew Stewart, 1st Lord Ochiltree (1490-1548). Andrew Stewart, Lord Ochiltree (1521-1591). Andrew Stewart (1540-1578). Jean aka Janet Stewart (1566-?) married Gilbert Kennedy, 7th Laird of Bargany (1576-1601). Media: Piper Family connection to JFK, “Next Group”: Gilbert Kennedy (1593-1627). Thomas Kennedy (1618-1716). Thomas Kennedy (1648-?). Thomas Kennedy (1690-?) John Kennedy (1715-?). Media: Piper Family connection to JFK, “Final Group”:
*missing link, John Kennedy (1740-1803). Patrick Kennedy (1760-1824). Patrick Kennedy 1785-1824). Patrick Kennedy (1823-1858). Patrick Joseph Kennedy 1858-1929. Joseph Patrick Kennedy (1888-1969). John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963).
Related Media: Media: Lineage to JFK from John Kennedy b. 1325 Scotland. *Source, Dowling Family Genealogy. Media: Origins, Kennedy’s of Scotland vs Kennedy’s of Ireland. Media: Fergus as progenitor of the Stewart Kings of Scotland.
(Jody Gray) Considering the lack of evidence, regarding JFK’s family origins prior to his immigrant ancestors, I would not claim a connection to him. However, I am not going to delete the Kennedy people from my tree because the research that I did may help others. And, I am related to the Monarchs of Scotland and the Carrick Kennedy’s of Scotland; verifiable up to Thomas Kennedy (1618-1716).
