Its been a very long time, but I just saw this post. I'm the great granddaughter of Sarah Ellen Kirkendall b. Nov 27, 1859, Continental, Putnam, OH, d. Apr 27 1937 Continental, OH and her husband, Joseph Myers Shank (1839-1920). Sarah Ellen's father was Daniel Kirkendall b. Jun 1 1816 Columbiana, OH, d. Feb 25, 1892 Greenburgh, Putnam, OH (I have Sarah Ellen & Daniel's death certs.). He was married in 1854 to Elizabeth Crawford b. Jun 17, 1837 Columbiana, OH and d. Feb 19, 1879 Putnam, OH.

I curious as to why you state he was married aft. 1840 to Mary Welch, b. 1816 in VA?

I've been searching the Kirkendalls for a very long time and have hit a brick wall. Since you seem really knowledgeable I wonder if you can help me connect Daniel Kirkendall (1816-1892) with his father, Daniel (1765-1856) who married Elizabeth Van Aken (1778)-1850)?

Do you happen to know who his father was? Was it Benjamin who married Sarah Ann Jones? And if so, is his father Luur Kuykendall son of Cornelius?

Any help would be great appreciated. Many thanks for your help.
