Hi Tonia,

They were in Butler County, AL in 1860. We got lucky because the enumerator actually wrote out Julia's name, and the ages are right. Jno Kuykendall is probably a brother.

State: Alabama Year: 1860
County: Butler Roll: M653_3
Township: Precinct 14 Page: 32-33
11 June 1860, W. B.? Perryman Asst. Marshall
253/253
J. Kuykendall 46 M Farmer $500 $100 GA
R. Kuykendall 20 F No State given
Julia Kuykendall 1 F AL
254/254
Jno Kuykendall 35 M Farmer $0 $300 No State given
S. Kuykendall 25 F
J. Kuykendall 1 F
J. Merchant 12 M
W. Merchant 10 M [possibly Wm.]
M. Merchant 6 F

They are not among the Kuykendalls indexed in AL in 1870. I can't find the Merchants either. Hope someone else can find them for you.

Best of luck,
grace in VA

Tonia,

Jo(h)nathan H(amilton) b. 2/15/1862 is my ggrandfather. Records from my cousin (no documentation) show parents as A.J. (b. 1838) and Rebecca (Watkins) Kuykendall in Butler Co, AL as Grace stated. Isaac and Jesse and Abraham had property in Butler Co. Isaac and Jesse H. purchased adjoining property, about 40 acres each through land office in Greenville, Butler, cocument number 49187, Stat reference 3 stat.566, Nov 01, 1858. Going by birthplaces of Emma, Daniel and Martha, they may have been in LA in 1870. I am still searching. I also found marriage of Isaac J. Kuykendal and Rebecca E. Wadkins (Watkins) (b 1840) Jan 08, 1857, Butler, AL along with marriage of Julia Ann Kuykendall and Israel Pearce May 4, 1884 Columbia, AR. Isaac was 51 and Julia was 23. Johnathan m. Nancy Elizabeth Smith (b. Aug 4, 1866) Jan 13, 1884 in Columbia, AR, both buried in Liberty Cemetery, Buckner (suburb of Stamps). He died Oct 15, 1930, she died in St. Louis June 4, 1952. You may already have this info by this time. Sorry I can't offer more assistance, but if you will E me at Bonniesc@swbell.net, perhaps we can sort this out. Who is your line?

Hello! I am looking for information on Susan Elizabeth Melton Merchant Kuykendall. I am a descendant of hers from her first marriage. I can't find what happened to her and her sons after 1880. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here's what I have on the family.

Tonia, I'm sorry, I won't be much help. I haven't connected the lines yet. My grandfather Johnathan Hamilton Kuykendall was b 2/15/1863 Butler Co, AL and I believe you have him on the 1880 Columbia Co, AR census. The confusion comes in where my cousin shows that A. J. Kuykendall is his father. Every record I check leads me to believe Isaac J was Johnathan's father and we have Rebecca Watkins from GA as his mother. Perhaps Isaac went by Johnathan. I find a marriage of Jonathan Kerkendal to Nancy E Smith 01/13/1884 in Columbia Co, AR. I believe these are my ggrandparents. Because they turn up again in Columbia census with all my g-aunts and g-uncles in 1900, 1910, 1920.

Try this: I believe I saw Merchants in Louisiana when I was looking for Nancy E. Smith in Claiborn Co, LA. I am so sorry I didn't make a note of it. Also, I found marriage of Julia Ann Kuykendall to Isreal Pearce 05/04/1884 in Columbia, AR. He was 51 and she 23. Then I found marriage of J A Pearce to J N Jones in Sharp Co, AR in 1889. But that is in the northeast part of the state. My concern is the time period between the birth of Johathan H in 1862 and the twins Emma And Daniel A in 1874. What happened in between? Could Rebecca have married another Kuykendall? My Johnathan had a brother named Jesse and a sister named Jane (m. Peal). So I still don't know if I am on the right track. Hope this helps. If I run across the Merchants again, I will e-mail you. Happy hunting!

Daniel, I don't have extensive info on my early K's prior to my ggrandfather Johnathan, but what I have locates them in Columbia and Lafayette Co's in AR, and Claiborne Parish in LA. Some of my Dad's cousins moved to Muscogee, OK ca 1950's. Also some moved to Bakersfield, CA. Edgar and Momel are not familiar at this point. Do you have any other K names?
If I find anything helpful I will contact you.
Thank you for responding and good luck.
Bonnie

Tonia,

This is an old post of yours, so please do let me know if it's still valid. I'm helping a friend who is a descendant of the Kuykendalls of Butler County, Alabama, and I think they fit into one of the families you posted queries about, a long time ago. Their ancestor was A. J. (Jonathan Andrew) "Race" Kuykendall, who married Louvenia Little in 1883 in Butler County, and died in 1950.

His Alabama Death Certificate says his father was "John Kuykendall."

Name: Andrew John Kuykendall
Birth Date: abt 1863
Death Date: 10 May 1950
Death Place: Greenville, Butler, Alabama
Death Age: 87
Gender: Male
Father Name: John Kuykendall
FHL Film Number: 1908849

Glad to share research notes and see if we can help each other fill in a few blanks.
