HISTORY OF WATERBURY.
KENDRICK.
JOHN, the grandfather of Green Kendrick, was a Virginian, supposed to be of the second or third generation from the original ancestor from Massachusetts. He was a tobacco planter, and had four sons,-John, William, James and Benjamin, and four or five daughters. He was born about the year 1735, and died in 1810. John, his eldest son, the father of Green, removed to North Carolina about the year 1786, and was a tobacco planter, until the invention of the cotton gin, by Whit- ney, when he became a cotton planter. He was a man of ability, integ. rity, and eminent usefulness in all matters pertaining to the church, the State and society. He was a deacon of the Baptist church, was born in 1764, and d. 1823.
The wife of the above John Kendrick was Martha Dinkins, dau. of John Dinkins, a wealthy planter, believed to have been of Welch de- scent. She was b. in 1765, and d. in 1825 ; was a woman of many virtues, fulfilling the duties of life with a scrupulous regard to the pre- cepts of the Bible. She was the mother of eleven children, nine of whom became heads of families. There were eight sons, and three daus. Green was the seventh child, and is the only survivor.
GREEN KENDRICK was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, April 1, 1798. From seven to ten years of age, he attended a common country school, to and from which he walked more than three miles, night and morning. From ten to nineteen, he labored on the planta- tion, attending school at such brief intervals as his duties on the planta- tion would allow. For two years during the latter part of the time, he enjoyed somewhat better educational advantages than was common for the sons of planters at that time. He was very ambitious, both in his labors in the field and in his studies, and thus accomplished more than most others with whom he was associated. His father taught him in- dustry and necessity made him frugal. At the age of nineteen, after teaching a common school nine months, he obtained a place in a country store, where he remained about a year, when he procured a more desir- able position as salesman in a store in Charlotte, the County town. In a little more than a year he purchased the stock of goods of his employer on a credit, and commenced business on his own account. In 1823, he married Anna Maria, dau. of Mark Leavenworth of Water- bury. The death of his father, which occurred about this time, put him in possession of additional means. IIe continued the mercantile business at Charlotte until the spring of 1829, when he closed it and

removed to Waterbury, where he engaged in the manufacture of clocks, under the name of Mark Leavenworth & Co., and in that of gilt buttons, under the name of Leavenworth & Kendrick. Since then he has con- tinued to be interested to some extent in the manufacture of the various articles for which Waterbury is somewhat distinguished.
In 1845, 1847 and 1848, Mr. Kendrick was a member of the House of Representatives of Connecticut. In 1846, he was elected to the Senate, and was chosen Lieut. Governor in 1851. In 1854, he was again a member of the House, and speaker after the resignation of L. F. S. Foster, who was elected to the United States Senate. Through- out the session of 1856, he was the speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives.
LEAVENWORTH .*
1. THOMAS LEAVENWORTHI settled in Woodbury, prior to 1682. Whence he came, I am not informed. He died Aug. 3, 1683, at which date the inventory of his estate was exhibited to the Court of Probate, of Fairfield Co., and his estate was ordered to be distributed to his widow, one third to his eldest son, a double portion to his second child, a daughter, and to his third child, a son, a single portion-names not given. In the settlement of John Leavenworth's estate, the names of the two sons are found to have been, Thomas and John. Thomas set- tled in Stratford and is the progenitor of the Waterbury and Wood- bury Leavenworths. Of John, I have no definite information, but am led to believe he had no male issue.
2. JOHN, brother of Thomas, (1,) also settled in Woodbury, and d. previous to Nov. 7, 1702, when Thomas Leavenworth of Stratford was appointed administrator of his estate, Feb. 28, 1704. The court order- ed the estate to be distributed to Thomas, the administrator, and to John, brother of the latter.
3. THOMAS, son of Thomas, (1,) settled in Stratford, Ripton parish, where he had land recorded, Jan. 1702, " near Mill River." He d. in 1748 ; his widow, Mary, in 1758. The following are mentioned as his children, May 5, 1734. (In his will, dated July 6, 1748, and in the will of Mary his widow, dated May 11, 1758, Edmund and Ebenezer are
* I am aware that my account of the genealogy of this family will not agree with the genealogical tree belonging to the family, which was published a few years since ; neither will it correspond with the sketch found in Woodbury His., p. 614, especially the first paragraph in that work, as the first part of that sketch was taken from that tree by the special request of members of the family. The genealogy here given, has been drawn from various records, with the utmost care, and may be relied upon as fact. The investigations I have given the public records, convince me that the tree was drawn from that untruthful story-teller, tradition.
