Thomas Benton Kendrick

FROM: Arkansas, Northwestern Counties History, 1889 Thomas B. Kendrick is a native of Benton County Ark., born in 1842, and is a son of Martin and Nancy (Phillips) Kendrick. He has always followed the occupation of farming, and owns a farm of eighty acres, a portion of which he inherited from his father's estate, and the rest he purchased. In 1861 he enlisted in the Confederate Army in Company F, Fifteenth Arkansas Infantry, and was a participant in the following battles: Corinth, Big Black, Port Hudson and the siege and surrender of Vicksburg. He started home after the battle of Vicksburg, but was taken ill on the way, and it was over a year before he was able to reach his destination. He then resumed the occupation of farming, and has continued the same with fair success up to the present time. He was married, in 1873, to Miss Susan Phillips, of Benton County, and five children have blessed their union: Bettie A.L. (Annalee), Ben W., Nettie B., Mary J. and Nancy E. Mr. Kendrick and wife are members of the Baptist Church.
