Surnames: KENDLE (KINDLE) AUMAN (ORMAN) CAGLE LUTHER & Hill, Richards, Kragle, Rodgers, Newman, Ellis.
Query: I found from the cemetery lookup response you can see below that pg 737 of "Smokies" wasn't a cemetery reference, but a compilation of RW patriots from other sources. So, I thought I should summarize what I know of Wm Kendle to see if anyone has more info on him. He's an interesting guy in my opinion. WILLIAM KENDLE: b.21 Aug 1752 Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England d.18 Nov 1834 Sevier Co TN. In England he was an apprenticed blacksmith, in 1777 he was pressed into the British Army & taken to America where he first fought against us but at Charleston in Oct 1780 he deserted & joined up with General Francis Marion The Swampfox & fought in several historic engagements in the Carolinas until discharged Dec 1782. He went to live in Moore Co NC & 1810 US Census there shows he & wife aged 45+ w/ son 16-25 & dau 10-15, living next door to JACOB CAGLE & ANDREW AUMAN w/ several LUTHER families nearby on same census page. 1820 census shows just he & wife. Apparently she died aft1820 & he came to Sevier Co and married 1827 Elizabeth ___? the JP was Keith ___? Men of his neighborhood Mar 1833 Sevier Co who vouched for him in his pension papers were: ISAAC HILL, ISAAC RICHARDS, HENRY KRAGLE, WILLIAM KRAGLE, JESSE RODGERS; appeared before Justice RANDLE HILL. His widow Elizabeth Kendle is in the 1840 census Sevier Co living alone next door to WILLIAM NEWMAN & JAMES W ELLIS. My theory is that his son is WILLIAM KINDLE b.1786 NC m. BARBARA LUTHER b.1797 Randolph Co NC went to IN & IA; other researchers' family trees show several marriages among KINDLE, AUMAN(ORMAN), CAGLE, LUTHER in both descendants & ancestors who came from PA to MD before NC. ANYONE HAVE MORE INFO ON THIS REVOLUTIONARY WAR PATRIOT? Where did he live in Sevier Co? What was his wife's maiden name? Why isn't he in 1830 census of Sevier Co? I see some Kendle-Kindle in adjacent Haywood Co NC--are they related here? Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. Fred in Folsom CA
