Help finding ancestors of Guy Kendall from Calif
I am the grandaughter of June Lavern Kendall, b. 6/27/1918 in Illinois, d. abt. 1999 Escondido, Calif. (San Diego County) Her father was Guy Emery Kendall (b. 2/22/1889, d. 5/26/1974 Escondido, Calif.), and her mother was Lillan Miller, (b. 1890 in Indiana and d. 1978 in Escondido, CA.)Her brother was Stanley, she married Cecil Albert Mead and had two daughters:Carol Ann and Mary Lou in LA, CA.
Guy's father (according to oral history) is Van Buren Kendall, b. 1862 Wapello, Iowa, d. 1930 Arkansas, married Sarah Elizabeth Bartlett (1861 Iowa - 1936 CA) about 1886 in Iowa.Several family trees on Ancestry.com list V.B.'s father as Abraham Kendall (1827-1892) and his mother as Janetta Owen (1833 Indiana - 1878).
Then all of the family lines seem to get mixed up with lots of Williams and Johns and Thomas' and Samuels.As far as I can tell, the line from Abe goes like this:
1)fa:WILLIAM Kendall (1786 - 1850/1) mo: Barbara Luther (1797 - 1838)
2)fa:Samuel Kendall or Kindle (1765 - 1825) mo: Celia Gray (1759 - 1824)
3)fa:William Kendall or Kindle ( 1725 or 1745 - 1829) mo: Sarah Elms (?)
4)fa:Samuel Kendall (various sp) (1680 - 1750) mo: Sarah Pittman (1684 - 1750), 2nd wife after either mary Cullens or Abigail Reeds (192 - 1735)
5)fa: Thomas Kendall (1638 England - 1719 Virginia)mo:Martha Abigail Gough (Goff).
6)fa:Thomas Kendall (1590 - 1627 England)mo:Frances Miles (1588-)
7)fa:Thomas Kendall (1454 Lancashire - 1597)mo: unk
8)fa:Thomas Kendall (1498 - 1544 Eng)mo:Sarah Brayne (1528 - 1549 Norfolk)
I have more, but I'm not sure if I'm even on the right track.There seems to be a LOT of contradictory information out there.
Can anybody help me verify this line or correct my errors?Any information would be most helpful and appreciated.
Grateful, Megan
