- 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.

- Descendants of these four brothers, who made Woburn their place of permanent residence, were formerly very numerous. Individuals of the name and connection still remain in the town, but have much dwindled of late in respect to the numbers. But multitudes of Kendalls have gone forth from Woburn, to replenish other towns of the Commonwealth. Tewksbury and Sherborn, in Middlesex County, and Athol, Lancaster, Leominster and Sterling in Worcester County, have all been more or less indebted to Woburn for her many sons and daughters, Kendalls by name or birth, whom she has contributed to help settle those towns, or when settled already, to increase their number of inhabitants. And no family of Kendalls in Woburn has done more to swell the tide of emigration towards the towns above mentioned than that of Samuel Kendall, grandson of Francis, and son of 'Thomas and Ruth Kendall', born in Woburn October 29, 1682. He was a carpenter by trade; and formerly known far and wide beyond his native place as Lieutenant Kendall, from having received a Lieutenant's commission from Governor Belcher, Oct 5, 1732. He was a very active, enterprising, public spirited man, often employed in town

- business, and much engaged in promoting both the civil and the religious prosperity of Woburn. He was an original proprietor of Northtown (or, Townsend) and as such became involved in a controversy with the heirs of Major Hathorne of Salem, who claimed a portion of the lands in that town, under a prior grant from the General Court.
- He was also a principle settlet of Paguaige, (or, Athol) in the settlement of which he and several of his sons suffered much from floods, and from the depradations of the Indians during the French wars between 1744 and 1760. By his wife, Elizabeth, Lieut. Kendall had fifteen children as follows: . . . .
