in reference to the William Kirkendoll search i found the following in Scioto county" 1870 census: William Kirkendoll. township of Rush. page 650. there are others listed, if your interested let me know.(this is the only one for William) there are several listings for this surname, with it being spelled KIRKENDALL. if you think this is a possibility you would be interested in checking out let me know. i know myself that many times i letter off can make a big difference. sometimes it a error in the spelling, or perhaps some family members changed the spelling for whatever reason. let me know. maggie Coughlan
