Sarah (White) Kendig... 1802-1892
Greetings...
I am needing some help in tracking down the family of:
Sarah WHITE
b. 18 Sept 1802
d. 01 Sept 1892
m. 1824 to KENDIG, Henry (b. 1800, d. 1881).
According to records we have seen or been told about, Sarah was the youngest of 11 children. She was born in Lancaster Co, PA.
'Mrs. Kendig was born on September18, 1802, in Lancaster county, Pa., of Pennsylvania German parents. She was married in 1824 to Henry Kendig, also a native of Lancaster county.'
'They raised a family of ten children, of whom nine, including our well-known fellow citizens, Eli and Daniel C., still survive.'
'Mrs. Kendig belonged to a historic family, and was the youngest of eleven children. Her eldest brother was a member of the Continental army, and many visits were paid her parents by the father of our country, George Washington, on general training day—a day well remembered by the older settlers of this county. Beside her immediate descendents, Mrs. Kendig leaves twenty one grandchildren and fifteen greatgrandchildren. Her husband preceded her to the other side, dying at a good age in 1881. '
'Mrs. Kendig, who would have been ninety years of age had she lived till the 18th of this month, came of a long lived family, one brother dying at the age of one hundred and four years, a sister lacking but fifteen days of one hundred years, and none of the family dying under eighty six years.
'
(Girard Cosmopolite Herald, 8 September 1892, Page 3)
If anyone can help figure out who her parents were, it would help us out tremendously.
Trying to go through the Censuses has been taking a while, but even then it'd be hard to find her family that way.
Thanks in advance
