Eunice Kendrick was the daughter of Solomon Kendrick and Elizabeth Atkins of Harwich, Massachusetts^{[1] [2]}. Her birth date is estimated based on her place in the sequence of children listed in the Mayflower Descendant, after her brothers John, born 1740, and Benjamin (maybe 1742), and before Joseph, born 1746.
