Joseph married Mary Amelia Benton on 22 Jan 1882 in Osage City, Osage County, Kansas. Mary was born on 29 Sep 1860 in Missouri; died on 28 Jan 1947. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
At the time of the 1910 census, Joseph's mother-in-law, 72 year old Mary BENTON, was living with the family. Amelia was shown as being the mother of 5 children in total, all still living. Only Ruth and Esther were still living at home. As of 1920, Mary BENTON was no longer in the household, presumably deceased. Both Ruth and Esther still were living with their parents. Ruth was working as a teacher. There was no occupation listed for Esther.

Notes:

In the HISTORY OF THE KUYKENDALL FAMILY book, Lee Kuykendall is quoted as saying: "My father's father, my grandfather's name was FRANKLIN KUYKENDALL; his wife's name was MARY JANE ELLIOTT....FRANKLIN KUYKENDALL, my father was born October 17, 1834."

Lee Kuykendall apparently was misquoted, as he was the son of Franklin and Mary Jane (Elliott) Kuykendall, not grandson..

In another section of the HISTORY OF THE KUYKENDALL FAMILY, both E.G. Kuykendall of Carmi, Illinois (p 240) and John Kuykendall (p 241) list Franklin as the son of NOAH KUYKENDALL.

At the time of the 1850 White County, Illinois census, Franklin had been orphaned and was living with his older brother, Alfred. In 1860, he was married and living with his wife and children, and 67 year old Lucinda Bradshaw from Kentucky. They were living next door to another Bradshaw family.

The relationship of Lucinda Bradshaw to Franklin and Mary Jane is not known. Note at the time of the 1840 census that Lucinda was living in between Benj. Elliott and John Elliott. Perhaps the three of them were siblings?
