Hi Mel,
I am descended from Kendel Eskridges son David.We are pretty much stuck at Kendel's generation.The Eskridge Family Association has an old book that was compiled before 1937 that listed the children of Kendel and said that his father's name was George and that he lived on the water.It also says that he had a sister named Mathilda.So this has been our beginning.We do not know if it is really true, however, Kendel did go to Pickaway County from Delaware where he was born and lived very near, according to 1830 Census records, a George Eskridge who was between 50 & 60 years old so we have assumed a close connection. Kendel then went to Putnam and Henry counties and recently we found him in Fulton.Kendel fathered 23 children.David left during the Civil War period and came West.
Some records that I have show that he signed his name Kendel L. Eskridg.
