Other Family Information

Family from Historical Southern Families, Vol. I: ^[10]

“Jones (4) Kendrick, (James - 3, William - 2, John - 1)

“Jones (4) Kendrick, youngest son of James and Susannah (Robertson) Kendrick, was born Dec. 16, 1778 in Chatham Co., N.C. and died Feb. 21, 1845 in Wilkes Co., Ga. He married (1) about 1798 (their first child was b. 1799-1800) Susan Vail Bull (b. 1781 in Maryland, d. Sept. 30, 1829 in Wilkes Co., Ga.); and after her death, he married (2) Aug. 26, 1830 in Wilkes Co., Ga., Mrs. Nancy M. Powell, nee Nancy Marshall Williams (b. Nov. 12, 1791, d. Dec. 26, 1855), who had previously been married to John R. Anderson and later to Nelson Powell, both of Wilkes Co. The dates above are taken from the tombstones of Jones Kendrick and his two wives in the family burying ground on his plantation in Wilkes Co. The statement that the first wife, Susan Vail Bull, was born in Maryland comes from two of her sons, William Bull and Jones Jackson Kendrick, the information being given in the Census of 1880.” (snip)

“The first wife, Susan Vail Bull, was almost certainly the daughter of Jacob Bull and wife Rennes of Warren and Columbia Cos., Ga.” (snip)

“That he was the father of Susan (Bull) Kendrick is indicated by the fact that she named her eldest son Jacob Bull Kendrick and two other sons had the middle name, Bull; as well as by the fact that her husband, Jones (4) Kendrick, in a note in 1816 concerning his administration of the estate of James Willis, Sr. in Wilkes Co. says: ‘In the spring of 1815, while I was in the service of the U.S. (i.e., in the War of 1812), Mr. Jacob Bull received for me from sundry persons the sum of $331.75.’”
