- Francis Kendall, son of John, and brother of Thomas, deposed in December, 1658, that his age was about 38 years, making him born in 1620. In 1662 he made affidavit that his age was about 48 years which would place the date of his birth at 1614. He settled first in Charlestown, but soon after removed to Woburn, where with 31 others he signed the town orders 18 December, 1640. In the old registry of the town of Woburn reads the entry:
- "Francis Kendall, alias Miles, and Mary Tedd (Tidd) maryed 24th of 10th mo. (24 Dec. D-S) 1644."
- Mary Tidd was a daughter of John Tidd. It is claimed that Francis left England against the wishes of his family, using the name of Miles. until he was settled in this country. Francis was admitted freeman 10 May, 1648. He served the town as selectman, held numerous other offices and was looked upon as "a gentleman of great respectability and influence." He owned and operated a corn mill in Woburn, being a miller by trade. The mill now on the old Kendall homestead was built by Samuel Kendall in 1700 and is near the location of the first mill built by Francis.

- Francis Kendall died in the year 1708 at the age of 89. His wife Mary Tidd died in 1705. The will of Francis, dated 9 May, 1706, named his sons, Thomas and John, as executors. The son Thomas had a son Samuel who was a very active, public spirited man, engaged in promoting the civil and religious prosperity of Woburn. In 1732 he received a commission as Lieutenant from Governor Belcher and was widely known as Lieutenant Kendall.
- A physical peculiarity has characterized the Kendall family for many centuries, — that is, an occasional excess in the number of the extremities, hands and feet, an extra finger or an extra toe. An old English medical book says that from "as long as the 14th century this mark has been traced, sometimes almost disappearing, and then coming forth again in full vigor."

- KENDALL.
- Kendall is a family name of local derivation, borrowed from Kent-dale, that is, a dale in the County of Kent, England; or, as may be thought by some, from Kendal, a noted town in Westmoreland County, on the borders of the river Ken. From one or the other of these sources, the Kendal(s) or Kendall(s) in England prob. derived their origin and their name.
- KENDALL.
- Francis Kendall, born in England, is supposed to have been the common ancestor of all of his name in New England. He was in Charlestown, 1640, where he subscribed the "Town Orders" for Woburn in December of that year; and was taxed among the earliest inhabitants of Woburn, 1645. The record of his marriage there reads thus: "ffrancis Kendall, alias Miles and Mary Tedd (Tidd) maryed 24th of *10th month [24 *Dec.] 1644;" which lends support to a family tradition, communicated many years ago by Rev. Dr. Kendall of Weston, that in order to conceal from his parents his intentions to emigrate to this country, he embarked in England under a feigned name. His children by his wife Mary were (1) John b. July 2, 1646. (2) Thomas b. Jan 10, 1648/9. (3) Mary b. Jan 20, 1650/1; m. Israel Reed about 1669. '(4) Elizabeth b. Jan 15, 1652/3 m. James Peirce'. (5) Hannah b. Jan 26, 1654/5 m. William Green, Jun'r as his 2nd wife. (6) Rebekah b. Mar 2, 1657; m. Joshua Eaton; deceased in 1706. (7) Samuel b. Mar 8, 1659. (8) Jacob b. Jan 25, 1660/1. (9) Abigail b. April 6, 1666; m. William "Read," May 24, 1686.
- Mary, his wife, died in 1705. "Francis Kendall, Sen'r died 1708," when, according to a testimony given by him in Court, 1700, he must have been 88 years old. He was a gentleman of great respectability and influence in the place of his residence. He served the town at different times, 18 years on the Board of Selectmen; and was often appointed on important committees, especially on one for distributing the common lands of the town, 1664 and on another, respecting the erection of the second meeting-house, 1672.
- In his Will dated May 9, 1706, when he was "stricken in years," (he writes), "and expecting daily his change," he styles himself a miller; and gives one half of his mill, with a proportionate interest in the streams, dams and untensils thereto belonging, to his son, John; one-quarter to Thomas, and one-quarter to Samuel. This mill has ever since been in the possession of his posterity. Its present owner and occupant, Mr. Joseph R. Kendall, a descendant from Thomas, second son of Francis, is of the 6th generation from its original proprietor.
