The family of Kendall in KENDALL England derives their sur- name from the town of Ken- dall, county Westmoreland. The town's name was doubtless derived from that of the river Ken on which it is located. The fan- ily in England is very large and widely dis-

tributed, many of the branches bearing arms and having distinguished members. The name is common in counties Bedford, Essex, Lancaster, Derby, Devon and Hertford. In 1575 a branch of the family settled in Thorp- thules, Durham, a younger son of the Ken- dall family of Ripon, Yorkshire, where the family lived at an early date. Among the early Kendalls who were prominent was John Kendall, sheriff of Nottingham, killed in the battle of Bosworth in 1485, fighting in the army of Richard III. It is said that the Westmoreland family of Kendall has sent more representatives to the British senate than any other in the United Kingdom. This family bears arms: Argent a chevron three dolphins naiant embowed sable. Crest : A lion passant gules. Motto, Virtus de pressa resurget.
(I) John Kendall, progenitor of the Amer- ican family, lived in the county of Cambridge, England, in 1646, died there in 1660. Two of his sons came to America: I. Francis, mentioned below. 2. Deacon Thomas, pro- prietor of Reading, Massachusetts, in 1644; admitted freeman May 10, 1648; had ten daughters and one son, leaving no descend- ants bearing his name.
(II) Francis, son of John Kendall, was the immigrant ancestor, and was born in Eng- land about 1620. He was in Charlestown, Massachusetts, before December, 1640, when with thirty-one others he signed the town orders of Woburn. His name was on the tax list of Woburn in 1645. He was admitted a freeman May 26, 1647. The town records of his marriage, May 26, 1647, to Mary Tidd, daughter of John Tidd, call him Francis Kendall alias Miles. His brother Thomas had no such alias and the tradition is that he assumed the name of Miles in order to con- ceal his intentions about emigrating, at a time when the restrictions were obnoxious to those seeking homes in America. Sewall says in his History of Woburn: "He was a gentleman of great respectabilty and influ- ence in the place of his residence. He served the town at different times eighteen years in the board of selectmen and was often on im- portant committees to distribute land and erect meeting houses." In 1678 he was tyth- ingman, but later he differed with the church as to infant baptism and was fined for neglecting to attend public worship. He was attending the meetings of the Anabaptists. His will was dated May 9, 1706. He was a miller by trade and he left his corn mill to
his sons Thomas and Samuel. It remained in the family by inheritance in direct line six generations, the present structure being built by Samuel Kendall (2), about 1700. He died in 1708, aged eighty-eight years. His wife died in 1705. Children : I. John, born May or July 2, 1646. 2. Thomas, born January 10, 1648-49. 3. Mary, born January 20, 1650- 51. 4. Elizabeth, born January 15, 1652-53. 5. Hannah, born January 26, 1654-55. 6. Rebecca, born March 21, 1657-58. 7. Sam- uel, born March 8, 1659-60. 8. Jacob, born January 25, 1660-61, mentioned below. 9. Abigail, born April 6, 1666.

He married (second) January 10, 1694-95, Alice Temple. Some records give him credit for twenty or more children, but the younger six may belong to his son Jacob who settled in Billerica.

He inher- ited a tall clock that is still an heirloom in this family. He was a founder of the social li- brary, February 17, 1800. He was also one of the founders of the Universalist church, January 21, 1811, and at one time clerk of the society. From 1831 to 1843 he was clerk of

(VII) Madison, son of Temple (2) Ken- dall, was born in Dunstable, Massachusetts, July 30, 1810, and was educated there in the public schools. During his youth he worked on his father's farm. At the age of nineteen he left home and located in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, entering the employ of N. P. Ames. When the shops of Mr. Ames were moved to the other village a few years later he went with the concern. He followed the trade of blacksmith until within a few years of his death. When the Ames Company be- gan to manufacture sword blades for the United States government, there were no me- chanics in the shops who could do the tem- pering satisfactorily. Mr. Kendall experi- mented for some time in a quiet way and was fortunate enough to discover the right pro- cess. He was successful in keeping it secret, and while the shops were making swords, he had all the work he could do, sometimes fin- ishing three hundred blades in a day. He bought the Cabot House of Chester W. Chapin in 1850 and carried on that hotel and a livery stable in connection with if for many years. He also owned the stage route be- tween Springfield and South Hadley and the mails for the north were carried over this line. He built a brick block on Market square and also an Exchange street block that still bears his name. He lived for many years in the house on Center street in which he died, May IO, 1891. He was never active in public or social life, and amassed his property by great industry and application during the sixty-two years in which he lived in Chicopee. At the time of his death he was one of the larget taxpayers in the city and one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens. In fe- ligion he was a Universalist, in politics a Dem- ocrat. In many respects his career was

unique. He made his fortune by his own hands and his superlative skill as an artisan. He dignified the trade that he followed and demonstrated the possibilities of his calling. He married, in 1833, Armena Phillips, who died 1864. He married (second) in 1866, Harriet Prime Carson, of Chicopee, born No- vember 27, 1839, daughter of James and Rachel (Prime) Carson. She survives him. Children, born at Chicopee: I. Hattie M., born April 4, 1868, married George D. El- dredge, of Chicago. 2. Charles, born Novem- ber 12, 1870. 3. Anne, born February 19, 1876. 4.

Ac- cording to the census of 1790 his father had one son and two females in his family at Dal- ton at that time, so that his birth place may have been Dalton, though none of the chil- dren are recorded there.

to practice in Sturgis, Michigan, about the time he came of age, and he practiced in that town for several years. He then moved to Coldwater, Michigan, and for a number of years practiced there in summer and at Phoe- nix, Arizona, in winter. He invested in real estate in Phoenix and aided largely in the de- velopment and upbuilding of that city. He was the owner of the first brick building of the town and took an active part in building up the business section. The increase in value of his property brought him much wealth in later years. He was also active in developing the city of Guthrie, Oklahoma, and owned valuable real estate at Coldwater.
