I am trying to find some solid information pertaining to the 1st member of the Kendall family in Virginia or Maryland. My father wants to join Founders and Patriots and I need to prove the Kendalls before 1657 in America. I descend from Jeremiah Kendall (1758 - 1843), who would be my patriot, but I can not find any concrete information pertaining to his Great Grandfather, the Thomas Kendall in question. I have seen many diffent studies online that question wheather a Thomas Kendall b. abt. 1636 or 1638 had any definite offspring, particularly a son William b. 1673/74. Does anyone knwo the answer to that question? Thank You.
