All I know about the KUYKENDALL family is that Lydia ADAMS (formerly married to a COLLIE and a WEST) married James Moore KUKENDALL on 02/25/1858 in Johnson County. James' parents were Joseph KUYKENDALL and Mary TAYLOR. James' brother, Andrew, was a major in the Civil War and a member of Congress. James' first wife was Lydia COOPER. The family came to Illinois Territory before statehood. This isn't much, I know, but maybe it will click with something for you.
