Hi, My Great-Grandfather, PHILO KENDALL, was born in Vermont in 1837. I am trying to find out his parents names, and I have reason to believe that the family lived in NEW YORK after PHILO was born. PHILO also lived in WISCONSIN, where he met and married his wife, MARY BOWDEN. They later lived in LAKE BENTON, MINNESOTA, where my Grandfather, VICTOR KENDALL was born in 1884. I would also like to find out which county in Vt. he was born (I'm on the VT mailing list but have had no luck there). PHILO brought a New York Times newspaper with him when he moved here (Kent, WA). He had saved the newspaper because it was the day after President Lincoln was shot. This and the fact that my cousins were confused about his birplace (VT or NEW YORK) is why I think he lived in NEW YORK. The 1870 Census of Minnesota lists his birthplace as Vermont. Any other Kendalls from New York? Mary (Kendall) Clouse mcwebber48@hotmail.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
