Anne,
Thank you so much for the really speedy reply. I feel so lucky after all these years that someone can verify the Kirkendall line beyond Daniel & Elizabeth Crawford of Columbiana, OH. There is conflicting data on the Internet that Daniel, Sr.'s parents were Van Kirkendall, 1790-1895 Columbiana, OH who married Keziah Milbourn, 1791 VA - 1865 DeKalb, IN.
I'm thrilled that you cleared this up. Then, I am I correct that the father of Daniel Kirkendall, Jr. b. 1 Jun 1816 Columbiana, OH - d. 25 Feb 1892 Greenburgh, Putnam, OH who married Elizabeth Crawford (1837-1879) is the son of Daniel Kirkendall, Sr., b. 17 Dec 1765 Sussex, NJ - d. 1856 Columbiana, OH and married (bef. 1798 PA) Elizabeth (Van Aken?) b. 1778 MD - d. aft. 1850.
And Daniel Kirkendall, Sr.'s father was Benjamin Kirkendall, b. 9 May 1742 PA - d. 12 Aug 1802 PA and married 1762 in PA Sarah Ann Jones, b. 1742 PA - d. 1805 PA.
And Benjamin Kirkendall's father was Leur Kuykendall, b 27 Oct. 1706 Orange, NY - d. 13 June 1789 PA and married Helena Consalis Duk, b. 25 Oct 1713 Ulster, NY- d. 1751 NJ.
Also, am I correct that Leur Kuykendall's father was Cornelius Van Kuykendall (1686-1753) NY and Marretjen Westfall (1686-1753) NJ & PA. Then Cornelius was the son of Leur Jacobsen Van Kuykendall (1650-1720) NY and Grietje Aertze Tack (1663-1720) NY and the rest is well documented.
Please let me know if you concur with the above. I have the 1st 5 gens. from me and the 1st Kirkendalls to come from Netherlands, but it is the middle ones that are conflicting. Agaijn, thank you so much for your help.
