Life History

Notes

• -------------------
  Reuben Kendall lived next door to John Smith in 1810, and by 1830 John Smith, Jr. lived next door. It is presumed that Sallie was a daughter of the elder John, and establishes a long relationship between the Smiths and the Kendalls. I have not researched these Smiths further, but the name certainly appears in other Kendall families of the period.
  
  Reuben Kendall was in the NC House of Commons for Montgomery County from 1828-1835 and was in the Senate for NC for Stanly Co. in 1848. There had been Kendalls in the Legislature there off-and-on since 1784, beginning with William in 1784. John Kendall was in the Senate in 1818 & 1819. Of my Crump ancestors, John Crump was in the House of Commons from 1813-1816. Anyway, this is my Kendall/Crump ancestry from Montgomery/Stanly, and the reason for my interest.
