Editor’s note: Second of a two-part series chronicling the history of Kendall County and its namesake, George Wilkins Kendall. Everything included in this story was taken from Bryden Moon’s March 5 presentation at the Patrick Heath Public Library.

Kendall County Historical Commission member Bryden Moon said in order to talk about George Wilkins Kendall, the namesake of Kendall County, the clock needs to be rolled back to 1809.

Kendall was born on August 22 of that year in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, and was the first of five children of Thaddeus and Abigail Wilkins Kendall.
