KENDALL is a family name of local derivation, borrowed probably from Kendal, a noted town in Westmoreland county, England, on the borders of the river Ken, and signi- fying the valley of the Ken; or, as it is thought by some, from Kent-dale, that is, a dale in the county of Kent. From one or the other of these sources the Kendalls in England and their descendants in Amer- ica derived their origin and their name.
(I) Francis Kendall, born in England, is sup- posed to have been the ancestor of all of his name in New England. He was in Charlestown in 1640, where he subscribed the "Town Orders" for Woburn in December of that year; and was taxed among the earliest inhabitants of Woburn, 1645. A family tra- dition, communicated many years ago by the Rev. Dr. Kendall, of Weston, is that in order to conceal from his parents his intention to emigrate to this country. he embarked in England under an assumed name, Miles. He died in 1708, when according to testimony given by him in court, 1700, he must have been eighty-eight years old. He was a gentleman of great respectability and influence in the place of his residence. He served the town at different times, eighteen years on the board of selectmen, and was often appointed on important committees, especially on one for distributing the common lands of the town, 1664; and on another respecting the erection of the second meeting house, 1672. In his will, dated May 9, 1706, when he was "stricken in years." (he writes) "and expecting daily his change," he styles himself a miller; and gives one half of his mill, with a proportionate interest in the streams, dams and utensils thereto belonging, to his son John, one quarter to Thomas, and one quarter to Samuel. This mill has ever since been in the possession of his posterity. He remembered, likewise, in his will the eight daughters of his brother Thomas, one of the first settlers of Reading. The record of his marriage reads thus : "Ffrances Kendall, alias Miles, and Mary Tedd [Tidd] Maryed 24th of 10 mo. [24 of De- cember] 1644." This lends support to the family tradition as to his feigned name. Mrs. Kendall died in 1705. Their children were: John, Thomas, Mary, Elizabeth, Hannah, Rebekah, Samuel, Jacob and Abigail. All the sons made Woburn their place of residence, where their descendants became very num- erous, though now but few remain. (Jacob and descendants receive mention in this article).
(II) John, eldest child of Francis and Mary (Tidd) Kendall, was born in Woburn, July 2, 1646. He married (first), January 29, 1668, Hannah, daughter of Thomas Bartlett. She died, and he mar- ried (second), March 29, 1681, Elizabeth Comey. She died December, 1701, and he married (third) Eunice, widow of Samuel Carter, and daughter of John Brooks. She was living in 1706. The children of
John Kendall by his first wife were: Mary, Lydia and Francis (died young) ; and by his second wife: Francis, John (died young), David, Elizabeth, Jon- athan, Rebekah, Nathaniel and John.
(III) Jonathan, fourth son and fifth child of John and Elizabeth (Comey) Kendall, was born in Woburn, November 28, 1690. A deed to his son, Jonathan, shows him to have been alive in 1770. He was by occupation a mason and settled in Lan- caster, as did others of his family, before 1726. He married Sarah White, of Charlestown, born 1692, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Rand) White. She joined the church of Charlestown, May 8, 1715, and there the three oldest children. Sarah, Jonathan, and Thomas, were baptized. The other children, Rebecca, Hannah, Mary, and Lydia, were baptized in Lancaster.
(IV) Jonathan (2), eldest son and second child of Jonathan (1) and Sarah (White) Kendall, born in Lancaster, and baptized in Charlestown, March 30 1718, died October 20, 1777. His will was exe- cuted October 8, 1777, and is signed with a mark, owing probably to illness. Samples of his writing are now in possession of his descendants. He lived in Lancaster, and he and his wife united with the First Church, June 16, 1745. He married in Lan- caster, intentions of marriage being published in 1743, Admonition Tucker, born in Lancaster, Feb- ruary 20, 1722, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Di- val) Tucker. She died May 24. 1789. Their children were: Sarah, Jonathan, William, Timothy (died young), Ephraim, Timothy.
(V) William, second son and third child of Jonathan (2) and Admonition (Tucker) Kendall, was born November 14, 1749, in Lancaster. The Revolutionary rolls show a considerable service on his part during that struggle. The first record shows that William Kendall, of Lancaster, was a fifer in Captain Ephraim Richardson's company of Colonel Asa Whitcomb's regiment. The return of this service is dated Prospect Hill, October 6, 1775. The rolls also show that he was a member of Captain Solomon Stuart's company, Colonel Josiah Whitney's regiment, and marched August 21, 1777, on an alarm at Bennington, service last- ing five days. There is a roll testified to in Wor- cester county, showing that a William Kendall was a sergeant in command of a regiment of militia in Colonel John Moseley's regiment, enlisting July 12, 1777, and discharged on the twenty-ninth of the same month. They marched from West Springfield to Stillwater to reinforce the Continental army, and served under Colonel Bently, guarding stores. It is doubtful whether this is the same William Ken- dall. The same rolls also show that William Ken- dall, of Lancaster, was a member of Captain For- tunatus Eager's company in Lieutenant Colonel Ephraim Sawyer's regiment which marched Octo- ber 2, 1777, to reinforce the northern army, and was in service twenty-five days, including eight days (one hundred and sixty miles) of travel homeward. There is also a record of William Kendall as ser- geant in command of an attachment, July 17, 1778,

serving three months and eight days in guarding Continental stores at Concord. In the possession of one of his descendants is his commission as sec- ond lieutenant, issued by the council of the Com- monwealth, June 17, 1779. He was a member of the first company, Captain Daniel Rugg, Junior, of the second Worcester regiment under Colonel Jos- iah Whitney, Esquire. This commission is coun- tersigned by all the members of the council, name- ly: Joseph Powell, Artemus Ward, Walter Spoon- er, T. Cushing, Jabas Fisher, F. Whitney, I. Dan- ielson, A. Fuller, Samuel Niles, Joseph Simpson, Aaron Wood, Thomas Durfee, Increase Pitts, Ed- ward Cutter, and one other whose writing can not be deciphered. William Kendall was commissioned as collector of Lancaster, April 25, 1778, by Henry Gardner, state treasurer and receiver general. Deeds which are still preserved show that Lieu- tenant Kendall purchased, December 6, 1782, at Lancaster, for thirty pounds sterling, the interest of his brother Timothy in lands inherited from their father in Ackworth, New Hampshire. At the some time he also purchased the interest of other heirs. For thirty pounds he purchased the share in his mother's estate of his brother Ephraim. In 1780 he purchased for eighty pounds lands in Walpole, New Hampshire. In 1799 he bought twenty-eight acres in Westmoreland, and in 1791 he purchased other lands in the same town. A. diligent search of the records fails to show where he died. It is probable that he lived in Westmoreland or Wal- pole. He married, in 1777, Mary Brooks, born September 15, 1754, in Bolton, Massachusetts, daughter of Isaac and Mary (Bathrick) Brooks.
(VI) Cephas, son of William Kendall, resided for a time at Kirby Center, Vermont, and died about 1859, in Stanstead, province of Quebec, Can- ada. He was a tailor by trade and followed that occupation most of his life. He had seven sons in- cluding: Curtis, Dustin, Merrill, William, Zelotes and Henderson.
(VII) Zelotes, son of Cephas Kendall, was born March 2, 1823, in Cavendish, Vermont, where he passed his life, and died October 31, 1864. He grew up there and received a fair common school education. He learned the trade of shoemaker, . but was engaged chiefly in farming at Derby Line, Vermont. He was a man of fine physique, stand- ing six feet in height without his shoes. He en- listed October 20, 1862, in Company K, Fourteenth Vermont Regiment, for a period of nine months' service in the Civil war, and was mustered out July 3, 1863. On November 30 of the same year he en- listed in Company F, One Hundred and Eleventh Regiment of the Eleventh Heavy Artillery. He was one of those who gave up their lives for the cause of liberty. At the battle of Cold Harbor, June 1, 1864, he received a gun shot wound, from the effect of which he died October 31 following. He lay on the battle- field all day and probably exposure was a contrib- utory cause of the fatal result of his wound. He married, in Vermont, Sarah Louise Stone, born March 9, 1829, in Craftsbury, Vermont, daughter of
Jeduthan and Eliza H. (Pierce) Stone, and cousin of President Pierce. She was a devoted member of the Baptist Church, and at the time of her death, June 4, 1886, was connected with the Baptist Church of Concord, in which city she passed her last years at the home of her son. There were five children, accounted for as follows : Hattie Adela, became the wife of Augustus C. Fisher, of Man- chester, in 1886, and died in Concord. Hamilton Adelbert, mentioned in the succeeding paragraph. Willie Conant, a farmer residing in Ackworth. Carrie Eliza, wife of Charles W. Wilcox, resides in Milford, Massachusetts. Mary Clotilda, youngest, died aged about one year.
(VIII) Hamilton Adelbert, eldest son and sec- ond child of Zelotes and Sarah L. (Stone) Ken- dall, was born October 21, 1853, in Compton, prov- ince of Quebec. When he was six years old his parents moved to Derby Line, Vermont, and he re- ceived most of his education there in the common schools. From the time he was ten years old he supported himself by doing farm chores and such labors as he was competent to handle, and at the age of fourteen his visits to the school room ceased. He continued on the farm at Derby Line until he was seventeen years old, and in 1871 went to Man- chester, New Hampshire, where he learned the trade of plumber. This was his line of employment for the succeeding eight years, and in 1880 he went to Attleboro Falls, Massachusetts, and there learned the trade of jeweler. For seven years he worked continuously for one firm, and in 1887 removed to Concord, New Hampshire, where he has since been engaged in business upon his own account as an undertaker. For the first two years he was alone, and then for a period of seven years was a part- ner of Joseph H. Lane. For a time he continued business alone and then sold out, but after two years purchased a one-half interest in the under- taking business of Frank A. Dame. They contin- ued under the title of Kendall & Dame for five years, until the firm was dissolved by the death of Mr. Dame in 1905. In January, 1906, Carlos H. Foster became a partner in the business and it has since been conducted under the title of Kendall & Foster. Mr. Kendall takes an active interest in the progressive and uplifting influences for which Concord is well known, and is a member of the Baker Memorial Methodist Church. He is a Scottish Rite Mason, affiliating with Blazing Star Lodge, No. II: Trinity Royal Arch Chapter, No. 2; Horace Council No. 4, and Mt. Horeb Command- ery, Knights Templar, of Concord. He is also a member of Bektash Temple Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and of Rumford Lodge, No. 46, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of Con- cord, of which he is a past grand. He is a member of Thomas B. Leaver Camp, No. 2, of the Sons of Veterans. He is a director and vice-president of the Concord Building & Loan Association. In politics he is an independent Republican.
Mr. Kendall married, October 10, 1876, Mary Alice Jackson, born October 7, 1855, in Portsmouth,

(III) Nathan, eighth son and tenth child of Jacob (1) and sixth child of his second wife, Alice (Hassell) Kendall, was born 1704, in Woburn, and settled in Litchfield, New Hampshire, in 1734. He was an early pioneer of the town, and one of those who petitioned the Provincial legislature for a town charter whereby they could legally tax and be taxed for the support of the gospel and education. He had two sons, Nathan and Timothy. Nathan moved to Amherst, New Hampshire, and was the ancestor of the Amherst family of Kendalls.
(IV) Timothy, son of Nathan Kendall, was born in 1740, and died in ISII, aged seventy-one. He mar- ried (first) Sally Walker, daughter of James Walker, (2) of Bedford, and had one daughter. Married (second) a Miss Lund, of Litchfield, by whom he had a large family.
(V) Nathan (2), son of Timothy and (Lund) Kendall, was born December 6, 1780, and died August 25, 1861, aged eighty-one.

They had five sons and one daughter: Nathan, Oliver Lund, Eliza, Thomas Franklin, Charles Henry, and James Thompson, whose sketch follows.
(VI) James Thompson, youngest child of Na- than (2) and Elizabeth (Thompson) Kendall, was born in Nashua, August 25, 1821, and died May 20, .877, aged fifty-six. In early manhood he was a shoemaker in the employ of his brothers who manu- factured shoes which they sold on the market. La- ter he engaged in general merchandising and lumber. He was a man of good judgment and upright char- acter, and stood high in civil and church circles. He was an active member of the Presbyterian Church. He was collector of taxes and a member of the board of selectmen. He married, June 19, 1851, Mary Jane McAllaster, born in Bedford, Sep- tember 4, 1824, and died January 1, 1898, aged sev- enty-four years. She was a daughter of Captain John and Jane (Aiken) McAllaster, and grand- daughter of William McAllaster, a Revolutionary soldier, who fought in the battle of Bunker Hill. Richard McAllaster. the father of William, was a Scotch-Irishman and came to Londonderry from Ireland in the winter of 1738-39. The children of James T. and Mary (McAllaster) Kendall were : John Edward, died young; Willis Byron, the sub- ject of the next paragraph; George M., who lives in Buffalo, New York; and Elmer E., who resides in Chicago.
(VII) Willis Byron, second son of James T. and Mary Jane (McAllaster) Kendall, was born in Bedford. March 12, 1857. Ile was educated in the public schools of Bedford and at Phillips Andover
Academy. He taught school for a time, and in 1875, he accepted the position of messenger in the Amos- keag National Bank of Manchester, where he has ever since been employed. In course of time he was promoted to teller, and in 1905 was elected cashier. Mr. Kendall has been connected with this bank from the time he was eighteen years old till the present time ( 1907), a period of thirty-two years, and in that time it has grown from a small insti- tution to one of the leading financial concerns of the state. He is a person of keen perceptions and excellent judgment, straightforward and conserva- tive, one whose opinions are seldom given until asked for and then respected. In political matters he affiliates with the Republican party, but he has never entertained the idea of a political office. He is an attendant of the Franklin Street Church. In 1883 he was made a Mason and is now a member of Washington Lodge, No. 61, Free and Accepted Ma- sons ; Mt. Horeb Royal Arch Chapter, No. 1I, of which he is a past high priest, and now holds the office of treasurer; Adoniram Council, No. 3. Royal and Select Masters; and Trinity Commandery, Knights Templar.

(II) Jacob, fourth son and eighth child of Fran- cis and Mary (Tidd) Kendall, was born January 25, 1661, in Woburn, Massachusetts. He was liv- ing in that town in 1712, and it is probable that he removed to Dunstable, where his sons John, Eben- ezer and Abraham had settled.
