Ballard/Kendall Connection
Thomas Ballard of Stafford Co., Virginia (died c. 1720-30)left land to one Benjamin Kendall (his godson) of St. Mary Magdalen Parish, Bermondsey, England, as recorded in Hugh Mercer's land book preserved at the Library of Virginia.Does anyone have information on this link, or worked out the descent of the Kendalls residing in this parish?The registers have been preserved at the Public Record Office in London, and the period from 1585 to 1607 was published serially in The Genealogist, but the copy at our Library of Congress misses all but one installment.Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
