Some of the descendants of Cornelius who migrated to PA/OH comprise most, if not all, of the Kikendall/Kirkendall/Kirkendale branches. In the Anglicized, frontier environment to which they moved, meticulous records of marriages and baptisms were not kept as they had been in the Dutch Reform Church.
