Thomas Kendall

Thomas Kendall was born between 1640-1650 in either Lancaster, Northumberland or Old Rappahannock County, Virginia or possibly the Norhwest Lake District of England near Lancashire. Thomas died between 1717 and 1721 in Richmond County, VA. His parentage HAS NOT been documented. The claimed connection to Thomas Kendall of Kent County, Maryland is not proven and appears unlikely based on Thomas Kendall's 1646 will

He married Martha Goffe prior to 19 Aug 1670 probably in Old Rappahannock Virginia. Martha was the daughter of William Goffe and Martha Baxter. She was born about 1648 in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia and died sometime between 1695 and 1717.

"From Executive Journal of the Council of Virginia 1699-1705 Vo l 2 April 25, 1704 The Nansiatico Indians complain that one Thomas Kendall of Esse x Co., hath broke down their fences and turned them out of thei r land and the other part of their land is claimed by Dr. Lomax . Present at the hearing were: Benjamin Harrison, John Custice , Henry Duke, Robert Orm, John Smith, Esquire."

Sources:

On 3 Jan 1692/3, John COOMBES of Richmond, planter, sold to Thomas KENDALL, also of Richmond, land (acreage not listed) adjacent to both COOMBES and "Anne his wife," and John WILLIS. This deed, recorded 20 Dec 1693, is the only record found of Anne thus far (Richmond Co, Records, 1692-1704, p. 99). Thomas KENDALL and his wife, Martha GOFF, were the parents of William KENDALL who later married John Combs' daughter, Elizabeth.

On the same date, John WILLIS of Richmond also sold a tract to Thomas KENDALL described as "being between the land of INDREIN [sic] and Joseph MASON." (ibid., p. 97) "INDREIN" is believed to refer to Edward "Indian Ned" Gunstocker." This land is further described in a land patent dated 13 Mar 1696/7 by John Combs of Richmond for 200 acres adjacent the land of William YARETT now Mr. TANKARD'S, UNDERWOOD'S line, near "Indian Needs old field." (North Neck Pat Bk 2:263)
