=====
SPECIAL NOTE ON NEBRASKA RECORDS: The Kendall family is generally listed in census records for Fillmore Co., Nebraska, although their post office is often listed as Sutton, Clay Co., Nebraska. They obviously lived near a county line, but I have not had an opportunity to determine upon which side of the line they resided.
