Kendalls Closely Allied In Cottonville History
Mrs. Hugh Kimrey, Correspondant
COTTONVILLE - The name Kendall is a very familiar name in Stanly and Anson Counties and especially here in Cottonville. While reminiscing with Mrs. J. W. Kendall, Sr., and Joe Kendall, who is in his eighties, the other day, I learned the first Kendalls in this section
drifted down this way from Virginia in the early 1800's. Moses Kendall's will, in King George County, Virginia, is dated January 7, 1793. Names wife, Amy, and sons, John, Samuel and William and other children - the last two named Executors. Probated September 5, 1793. ESTATE SETTLED In 1819 the wife, Amy, and children, James, George, Thornton, Amy Kendall and Sally Spillman and Elizabeth Carver are in Montgomery County as James Kendall, an attorney, represented them in their share out of the estate of Samuel Kendall, deceased, of Essex County, Virginia, stating that he, his mother, brothers and sisters lived in Montgomery County, North Carolina. This was a distribution of their share of Moses Kendall's estate which Samuel Kendall had charge of. Moses' sons, William and Samuel, had remained in Virginia, Benjamin Kendall and John S. Kendall owed this estate money. This is dated 28th of May, 1821. James Kendall, of Forks, Montgomery County, N.C., in 1819, deeds to his brothers, George and Thorton, Mother Amy, and sisters, Sally Spillman
and Amy Kendall. This was before Stanly County had been formed from Montgomery County in 1841. The Forks mentioned is the same Forks Community we know now below Norwood. UGLY CREEK About 1831, James Kendall left North Carolina and went to Paris, Tennessee, then to Mississippi, taking with him his mother and sisters. A deed in Yalobusha County, Mississippi, shows where descendants sold 362 acres on David's Creek in Stanly County, North Carolina. These descendants in Mississippi say George Washington Kendall died before the 1840 census in Stanly County and lived near Norwood or Center as it was then known, and where he is probably buried. Thorton remained in Stanly County and a survey map of his 200 acres, April 10, 1819, "in Montgomery County, southwest side of Pee Dee River and both sides of Ugly Creek," places his land near Cottonville. Thorton Kendall was Joe Kendall's great-grandfather. He was a well-to-do slave and land owner. Reuben Kendall had a land grant from the King of England for several thousand acres of land that reached from Jack's Branch south of Cottonville in the lower end of Tyson township to Rehobeth Church and on over the Cedar Grove United Methodist Church. He had around 300 slaves. PREACHERS Descendants in Mississippi say that George Washington and Thorton Kendall were Methodist preachers. Benjamin Kendall, who along with George, deeded land to the Norwood Methodist Church was reported to be a Methodist minister.
From these original Kendalls have descended all the other Kendalls in
Stanly and Anson Counties. One of the first Kendalls settled over in the Cedar Hill section of Anson County and is the ancestor of the Wadesboro Kendalls. Another Kendall settled up around the New London and Kendall Church Communities. KENDALL'S STORE History says that another Stagestop on the King's Highway, after leaving Colson's Ordinary, in what is now known as the Forks section, was Kendall's Store and Ordinary, famed for food, drinks and genuine Southern hospitality.
This was near the plantation home of David Kendall, the first postmaster. This was in the vacinity of what is now New London; After the Civil War, the
fame of Kendall's store and Post Office faded. Mr. Joe Kendall's great-grandfather was Thorton Kendall. His grandfather's name was John. He was killed in the Civil War. Henry Kendall was Mr. Joe's father. There are many other noteworthy members of the Kendall family, past and present. When the first Kendalls came to Cottonville it was then a thriving and prosperous settlement. It bids for the title of the oldest settlement in what is now Stanly County. It has a history that reaches back to the period when the town of Albermarle was unheard of. There were six stores in Crossroads. One was a grogg shop or as we call it today, a liquor store. There was a cottongin, wheat and corn mill, and saw mill all powered by a large steam engine owned by Bill Whitterger, Bob Thompson and Bill Crump. There was also a blacksmith shop. W. R. McSwain, a merchant, was Mr. Joe's mother's father. He served as the only postmaster from the time the post office was established in 1884 until it was discontinued in 1909. There was so much cotton grown and ginned at Crossroads until when a name was sought for the post office, Mrs. W. F. Crump suggested Cottonville as the name and cottonville it has been ever since. I wouls like to thank Mr. Joe Kendall, Mrs. J.W. Kendall, Sr., and Mrs. Kermit Young for information they gave to me in writing this story. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
