Kendall Family

We have just found information on William Barnett Kendall's parents and other ancestors. We will add them as soon as possible. William B. KENDALL moved to western Kentucky (the Jackson Purchase) about 1830. He either bought or received as a grant a farm near New Hope Church, in Hickman Co, KY. His wife Catherine was the widow of Robert GUYN.

Another unconfirmed account says that his father operated a powder mill in Tennessee and was killed in an explosion of the plant.
