NORTH CAROLINA CAPTAIN MILITIA REV WAR REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER

Burial: Greensburg Cemetery Greensburg St. Helena Parish Louisiana, USA

William Kendrick was a Captain in the North Carolina Militia, American Revolutionary War.

1755 - 1838 Capt. William Kendrick is buried in the Greensburg Cemetery. He was a member of the North Carolina Militia, and a prominent farmer in St. Helena Parish. The lot on which the St. Helena Parish courthouse now stands was donated by Kendrick for parochial purposes, in 1830. Street near courthouse was named Kendrick until approximately 1973 when changed to Hamberlin Street. The marker was placed by the Alexander Stirling Chapter DAR in 1976. (See Media)

Directions: South of Highway 10 about 3/4 miles east from Greensburg, La.. You will need a guide.

One neighbor stated that about 24 years ago the tombstones were all broken by vandals. Wm. Kendrick's remains had been moved to Greensburg, La. and re-interred in the William Lafayette Tillery burial plot. William Kendrick was a Rev. Soldier and has a military marker plus a bronze memorial.

There are a few depressions indicating where graves might have been; also an occasional brick here and there, and the person who showed us where the cemetery is stated that he remembered when a brick vault stood there and stated he knew for a fact the vault was torn away and used in house building. Perhaps if the whole area was raked and cleared away, a few pieces of markers could be found.

Ancestor Search Search for Revolutionary Era Ancestors New Search Reporting Errors This listing does not constitute proof of lineage. These databases contain DAR proprietary information that should under no circumstances be redistributed to others; assembled or collected for purposes other than DAR membership or for citation in genealogical scholarship; or reproduced, published or posted in any form whatsoever. The primary purpose for the creation of the Ancestor Database is to assist staff with the verification of membership applications and supplementals. As such, the DAR assigns a single standard surname that covers variant spellings of similar surnames. While the surname may appear incorrect, this does not mean it is in error. This spelling system ensures that patriots are not established under more than one spelling.
