I got away from genealogy a couple of weeks this month, spending my time on other pursuits (reading and scrapbooking, namely).

How did I do toward my goals?

  • Write 10 blog posts – completed 7
  • Abstract (or update previously-done abstractions, if necessary) 20 census pages and update the citations.  I haven’t located all these census pages yet, so some research will be in order.  Specifically work on the pages that include:  Robert West 1840, 1830, 1820, 1810, 1800;  Anna Mariah Cook 1840, 1830, 1820, 1810; Wyatt Lankford 1870, 1840, 1830, 1820, 1810; Morning Tabitha Bruer 1860, 1840, 1830, 1820; Abner Lankford – any (I just learned about him this week). – Oh, not good.  I couldn’t find any of the above census records and moreover, I only completed abstracting one that I did find – Frances (Rudd) Kendrick and Thomas Kendrick 1840.  I’ll probably get one more finished this afternoon.
  • Index 30 names on FamilySearch – batting zero here.
  • Scan 5 photos & process 5 headstone photos. Done and done.  Finally, something to check off.
  • Look for (online) source records to verify facts referenced in pp. 11-15 of Butler Ahnentafel report. – another zero.

Oh well.  A new month starts tomorrow, along with an opportunity to start fresh.  Check back on Tuesday for February’s to-do list.

Kendrick is my own surname.  It’s a challenging line to research, as I have found little documentation prior to the mid-1800’s.  I have yet to discover an immigrant ancestor in this line, but expect to find him coming from Great Britain.

Francis Taylor Kendrick (1876 – 1966) was my paternal grandfather’s father.  He had dark hair and blue eyes. 1   He was married twice and had three children with his first wife 2 and four with his second wife, Lizzie West (my line).3  As far as I know, France lived his entire life in Murray County, GA.  He was a farmer 4 and also owned and operated a general store.5

His father, Francis Marion Kendrick (1844 – 1932) served in both the Confederate 6 and U. S. 7 armies during the Civil War.  He and his wife,8 Barbara Baxter, had 11 children.  He was a farmer for many years; in 1910, he was a mail route carrier employed by the federal government.9

F. M.’s father was Thomas S. Kendrick (1821 – 1882).  Thomas is the Kendrick who migrated to Georgia.  He was born in Tennessee, but I don’t know what part.10  From 1830 to 1850, he lived in the southeast corner of the state in McMinn/Polk counties.  By 1860, he had crossed the state line into Murray County, GA.  His wife was Mahala Lawson; they had nine children.11

Robert Kendrick (1747 – 1828) is the earliest known ancestor in this line.  I have little documentation on Robert and no primary sources at this time.  He probably was married to Frances Rudd, who was presumably the inspiration for Francis as a given name later in the line.12

Kendrick migration route:

Possibly Hanover, VA -> Blount County, TN -> McMinn County, TN -> Polk County, TN -> Murray County, GA.

According to World Names Profiler, the heaviest concentration of Kendricks today is in the U. K, specifically in the West Midlands and Northwest areas of England.  This gives me a clue for researching my immigrant ancestor.
