KENDALL.
I. JONATHAN1 KENDALL, 3d, as he was known in Lancaster, Mass., is the first ancestor of the Sullivan Kendalls that we can directly trace. The name of Jonathan Kendall is so common in the Lancaster records that the tracing of the family is troublesome and confusing. This Jonathan Kendall, 3d, d. in S., at the house of his son Jonathan, Jr., at 144, Sept. 18, 1809, in his 81st year, hav- ing, therefore, been b. in 1728 or 1729, but we have not learned where, nor can we trace his parentage and ancestry. He m., Dec. 3, 1761, Patience Frost of Groton, Mass., b. there, Apr. 23, 1734; dau. of John and Ruth Frost. We have not ascertained the place and date of her death. Among their children were Ebenezer2, 1, b. in Leominster, Mass., Nov. 13, 1762; Jonathan,2 Jr., 2, b. probably in that part of Lancaster that is now Sterling (or perhaps in Leomin- ster), in 1764; and Patience2, who m. Enos Bailey (or Bayley), q. v. Ebenezer and Jonathan were both baptized on Oct. 14, 1764, in the "Chocksett," now Sterling, church, which is to-day the old Unitarian church of that town. Patience was baptized in the same church, Nov. 29, 1767, which is doubtless the year of her birth.
1. EBENEZER2 KENDALL, son of Jonathan1, 3d, of Lancaster, Mass., b. in Leominster, Mass., Nov. 13, 1762; d. in S., at 145, Sept. 8, 1849, which date corrects the S. records as returned to the Vital Records office at Concord, N. H. He was an early settler of S. His home, a portion of which is still standing, is one of the oldest in the town. He was a farmer and substantial citizen. He and his wife were members of the First Cong. Ch. of the town. He m., June 7, 1796, in Worcester, Mass., by the Rev. Samuel Austin, to Esther Barker, b. in Concord, Mass., June 24, 1759; d. in S., at 145, Apr. 26, 1848 ; dau. of William and Martha (Shepard) Barker. She was a twin, the name of her mate being Francis. The inscriptions upon the headstones of Mr. and Mrs. Kendall are not accurate. These dates are all correct and carefully verified, although differing from certain family records. They had no ch. Harrison Rugg and Sophia Beverstock, who eventually became husband and wife, were taken, as children, into their home and reared in it. See under the family of Harrison Rugg.
2. JONATHAN2 KENDALL, JR., son of Jonathan1, 3d, of Lancaster, Mass., lived in S. at 143 and 144. After the death of his wife and the departure from the town of all his living ch., he lived in the family of John Dunn, at 151 (the old Kemp house), where he d., May 18, 1845, in his 8Ist year. IIe m., March 13, 1791, in Lancaster, Mass., by Rev. Timothy Harrington, to Mary (called Polly) Clark. She d. in S., at 144, June 27, 1827, in her 58th year, and was undoubtedly b. in 1769. In her obituary in the N. H. Sentinel, she is said to have been a native of Lancaster, Mass., but we cannot discover her parentage. Mr. Kendall settled a farm next north of that of his brother Ebenezer. Both farms were on a side road, always called the Kendall Lane. They had six ch. : I. Sparhawk3, 3, b. in in S., at 143, Apr. 20, 1792 ; 2. Joel3, b. in S., at 143, Mar. 14, 1794; d. there, June 3, 1795 ; 3. Joel3 (2d of name), 4, b. in S., at 143,
