The last Challenge was a hard one, so let me give you another clue:
The question perhaps should have been phrased "What was Bob's family connection to the town?" Say, prior to 1977.

No time to research this one, but back in the early 1700s my Cook ancestors were part of the Kennett Monthly Meeting. Are there Quakers in Bob's tree?
You won't have to go that far back. Just to 1930.
Serious challenge, but I think I've got it. Sara Lownds, Dylan's first wife, was born Shirley Marlin Noznisky, whose father Isaac appears on the 1920 census for Kennett, living in his brother's home. Since Dylan and Sara were divorced in 1977, that technically would have been the end of the relationship to Kennett.Isaac was a scrap metal dealer in Wilmington, DE
That's the connection. Can you find Isaac in 1930?
Yep, just found him - Ancestry shows him as Isaac Nozvisky, aged 35 on West State Street, wife Bessie and son Julius. Fun challenge, especially since Chester County is one of the areas I research a lot.
And he was working as a mushroom solicitor. Too bad Bob didn't write a song about him.
