Kuykendall - Texas 1850
In Refugio Co. 1850 there is a William Qurkendaul family.In family records this is spelled Kuykendall.I have been told that William's wife, Jane (listed in the census at age 36) was the daughter of Thomas Carothers and that Eugenia Carothers (listed in the Kuykendall family at age 19) was her sister.I think the age span is too great as there is an M. Carothers, age 50, also listed with Eugenia in this household and that is likely Eugenia's mother. (By 1850 Thomas Carothers was dead.)
Another researcher tells me that the Thomas Carothers who was supposed to be the father of Jane, wife of William Kuykendall, also married an Eliza Kuykendall.I just can't make the dates match up.
Any help on this Texas branch of Kuykendalls would be appreciated.I believe this William Kuykendall stayed in the Refugio and Victoria Co. areas.
Thanks.
