Hello, I am new to the list. I am researching the surname Kendall and it's connection to Westmoreland The Kendall family came from the town of Kendall on the river Kent, Westmoreland county, England. 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

Hi Scott If you look at parish records of Chelsfield in Kent the Kendle / Kendell family have been there since before 1590 and spread out to neighbouring parishes. My great great uncle married a daughter of a George Kendle in South Australia who came from that area of Kent, England. This Kendle family are all in the state of Western Australia now. The Western Australian births deaths and marriages are on line too.
