Overview
From Bodie 1957 fide Ghermann139],with minor reformating and editorial changes:
- Thomas Kendall came to Kent Island VA in 1631, moved to St. Marys in 1636, died abt 1646 and left a will dated 9 Nov 1646. "He gave personalty to the son of Roger Baxter of Kent Island and leaves a trust fund for his three children, not named, under the guardianship of Thomas Youell[Yewell] with John Sturman as a witness (Md Mag 28-181, 262) (Archives and Court Records).
- In 1652 Thomas Youell received a grant in Northumberland and is mentioned as deceased in that county in 1655. No doubt but that he brought the Kendall orphans with him same as the Butler orphans were brought by John Hallowes in 1650. Thomas Kendall with Thomas Goffe and John Willis bought 405 acres of land March 7, 1687/8 in Rappa Co which afterward fell in King George Co." (I am guessing this Thomas Kendall... is the orphan son of Thomas Kendall)--
- Hazel Kendall notes on pg 24: "Captain Wm. Claiborne brought from England 1631 in ship "Africa" to Kent Island in upper Chesapeake Bay, Thomas Kendall, 1610-1646, probably married late fall 1635 on Kent Island, Maryland by Rev. Richard Jeames to Mary Lucy (Lucie) 1615 England. The Lucy's also lived in the Jury (Jewry), London. Lucy's form a district in Neufchatel, Normandy; from medieval Latin Luciacus or Luciacam, `the estates of Lucius'."
- On pg 16, Hazel notes further: "On the ship `Africa', on May 28, 1631, William Claiborne of Kent Island set sail from Deal eight miles northeast of Dover on the coast and south of London, England. Deal is the reputed land place of Caesar 55 B.C. Claiborne had a cargo of goods and twenty men `servants' who paid for their passage by short terms of service, sometimes three years, but usually five years, a few of them being younger sons of good families. Of them were required allegiance to the King, fidelity to Proprietary, and obedience to the law.
- The `Africa' sailing vessel arrived two months later at Kecoughtan, Virginia. Clayborne had only a trader's license on which to base his claims to Kent Island. His London partners were Wm Cloberry, John Dela.Barre, David Morehead. Kent Island was reached July 1631. Thomas Kendall...imployed in the kitchin to dressd victualls, bread corn, and other worke in the howse.
- Thomas Kendall d.1646 St.Mary's Co., Md." And on pg 17: "Thomas Kendall left in the late summer or early fall 1635; his name no longer appears; he evidently became of age at 21; probably was born 1614. He must have married in the fall 1635 Mary Lucie born 1615 by the Minister Richard Jeames (James) in the trading post on Kent Island. Having been recruited by Capt. Wm Claiborne up in northern England and known by the family as a younger son and was given inside work on the post, Thomas Kendall profited enough by this close relationship to leave a will made Nov. 9, 1646 leaving `to eldest son of Roger Baxter of Kent Island my personalty, Thomas Youell in trust for my three children' (Maryland Will Bk)."
- Hazel also notes pg 17: "Sept 1, 1653 Col. Wm Clayborne, Secretary of State now, brought those who had been at one time on the Isle of Kent to a 5,000-acre tract in Virginia in Bald Eagle's neck: THOMAS KENDALL, William Cooke, John Butler (a mariner or trader; brother Thomas), Roger Backster, Thomas Youall, Originall Browne, John Morgan, John Ashew (Askew), Thomas White."
- On pg 18: "Early as 1644 a band of white men were living among the Chicacoan Tribe of indians on Coan River in present Northumberland across the Potomac River from Saint Mary's--all were protestants and former residents of Kent Island. Among these evidently was THOMAS KENDALL with friends. ...Col.Giles Brent (a Catholic) crossed the Potomac River to settle at the conflex of Aquia Creek [see Notes for William Kendall, s/o this Thomas for more on Aquia Creek] with the Potomac River called Brent's Point; he was a first citizen of Stafford County, Virginia and called his new home `Peace'.
- His two unmarried sisters, Mary 1601-1658 and Margaret 1601-1671, [were the] first women suffragists in America. Margaret lived around where Alexandria and Fredericksburg now are. [Adam Crump, father of John Bushrod Crump and James Crump, both of whom migrated to Montgomery Co., NC in the 1770's, also lived and owned land in the Alexandria/Fredericksburg area. It is now part of Ft. Belvoir, VA] . "Mary brought MARY, CHARLES, AND WILLIAM KENDALL with her [in] 1653 on Aquia Creek on Austin Run in Stafford County, Virginia."
- However, on pg 21 Hazel notes that the person who brought Mary, Charles and William Kendall in 1653 was "Indian Mary Brent", an Indian Princess, daughter of the Chief of the Piscataway Tribe, named Kitomaqund called Mary who married Col.Giles Brent.""--
- Nancy Culver noted in 6 Dec 97, "Thomas Kendall I b.1610 in Germany. " She descends thru Walter T Kendall b.1834/Martha Dillard had dau Leonora Kendall b.19 Dec 1860 d. 29 Jan 1931 m. James Harvey Hull." The validity of this claim has not been researched.
