Notes:

In ' "...a matter of history..." Old Times, Old People and Old Buildings: Newspaper Accounts of Nineteenth Century Life in Carmi and White County, Illinois' (The White County Historical Society, P.O. Box 121, Carmi, Illinois 62821: 1996). An article was reprinted from the White County Democrat Centennial Edition, published on July 30, 1914 by William D. Hay, it was noted that "Noah Kuykendall....had not inherited his father's love for moving and hunting a new and unsettled country, selected a location in the north edge of the Prarie and in 1809 built a log cabin about one hundred yards west of the present home of George G. Kuykendall, his grandson. He married and brought to his cabin home a Miss Jones, sister of Dan and John, prominent men in their day. The only descendant of the Jones family now living in the county so far as I know is our fellow townsman, John R.

In that cabin, one of the first to be built in that section or in the county, Alfred Kuykendall and other members of Noah's family were born. About 1825, Mr. Kuykendall built on the site of his little cabin a three-story log house. A large roomy, and for that day, an extra fine residence. Built of nicely hewn logs. Some of the logs of that house are still in use, being a part of the barn near where the the old house stood. They are still sound and you can scarely see an ax mark. This shows that the man who got out the logs for that house could hew the line. And that was considered quite an accomplishment at that day...I do not want to leave Mr. Kuykendall's home without saying more about the three story log house. The finishing lumber was all sawed with a whip saw. That is, a log was gotten into a scaffold, after being squared, high enough for one man to stand under it. Another man stood on top of the timber and with a whip saw (a kind of a rip saw made for the purpose) sawed it into the lumber faster than we would suppose. Though I have been told that making lumber that way was at least a first cousin to work. After the lumber came from the saw, it was planed, and the flooring tongue and grooved all by hand."

There is a Noah Kuykendall indexed in the 1818 White County, Illinois census.

Abraham Lincoln came to Carmi on September 1, 1840 in a political rally as part of his campaign for William Henry Harrison for President. Despite the rain, the rally was a great success. Lincoln stood before the huge throng and spoke for more than an hour. That night he lodged at the Ratliff Inn, where he visited with his many friends. Noah, age 53, and his family may well have been at the rally. (Source: Carmi Illinois 1816-1966 Sesquicentennial: Carmi Sesquicentennial Commission, Inc.).

Noah married Elizabeth "Betsy" Jones about 1814. Elizabeth was born about 1798; died after 1834. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
In the book by Kuykendall, George Benson "History of The Kuykendall Family Since Its Settlement in Dutch New York in 1646 With Genealogy,etc" (Portland, OR, 1919), E. G. Kuykendall cites eight sons of Noah Kuykendall: Henry, Peter, Alfred, Daniel, Samuel, James, Franklin, and Aaron (p 240). John Kuykendall cites Noah with only six sons, Alfred, Daniel, Peter, Samuel, Frank and Henry (p 241). (Note: Neither list a son John (1822-1842), shown by Velma Winn).

The daughters of the family are based on census and marriage records, and the list prepared by Velma Winn.

Keith McGuire lists one additional daughter, that I was unable to find on either census or marriage records of the county, Jane born ca 1832 who married a William Randolph. He could be confusing her with daughter Louisa, who married Andrew Rudolph.
