Interested to see if anyone is researching the Kendall Family in Kentucky. I am interested in the counties of Gallatin, Franklin, Woodford, Scott, Carroll.... Still trying to trace my Duranda/Durenda/Durinda Kendall (born circa 1816) to one of the Kendall families in those counties.
Recently found a John Kendall married to a Nancy Ray on February 23, 1809 in Gallatin County, Kentucky. They had several children around the same age but no Duranda. However in 1815 they had a daughter named Malinda. This family ended up moving to Sangamon County, Illinois. The 1850 Census places them there.
Also found a Noah and Elizabeth Kendall in Gallatin who had children in the early 1820s. Don't know anything else regarding them at this time.
My mother found my deceased grandfather's genealogy he was working on. He had thought a Jeremiah Kendall was Duranda's father, however I can't really find one that fits the time frame. As the ones I've been researching would be a bit old to be her father or check out to be the same age.
If any Kendall researchers are researching the Kendall Family in the aforementioned counties (Gallatin, Franklin, Scott, Woodford, Carroll, Bourbon) please be in touch! I have been working on this mystery for years spinning my wheels.
