Hello Scott,   Westmoreland is a long way from Kent! Cheers, John B.

The emigrants to this country were Francis and Deacon Thomas Kendall, who sailed from England under the alias of Myles, again taking the name of Kendall upon reaching this country. Their father, John Kendall, lived in Cambridge, England, in 1646, where he died in 1660. We hope to find connections between the American Kendall families and our English roots.  We are conducting a Kendall DNA Project to help supplement our conventional genealogy.  If you would like to share your family history or learn more about our project please contact me at [email protected] Thank you Scott ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

John, Thanks that is what we get when we listen to family "lore". I have always been a skeptic and feel there were many unrelated Kendall families.
