Due to a couple of inquiries on this forum, let me post what I have on the family of Peter Kuykendall, Jr., son of Peter and Mary (Hampton) Kuykendall. First I must say that I am not as knowledgeable about this line of Kuykendalls as is Marshall Kuykendall and Eugene Kuykendall but may be this will help.
Peter Kuykendall Jr. was born 1760 in Anson Co. NC (which also included at that time, part of York Co. SC where it has been stated he was born). He died ca 1826 in Cooper Co. MO By his first wife, her name not known who died before 1810 in White Co. Illinois. By her he had: (1) Noah (1787-1842 White Co. IL) (2) James lived in Ill 1836 died in IND. (3) Benjamin died in Ark (4) Hannah lived in Howard Co. MO; (5) Jesse lived IL in 1826; (6) Polly lived Hopkins Co. KY; (7) Catherine lived in ARK; (8) Moses lived Howard Co. MO; (9) Sarah lived ARK. In "History of Kuykendall Family" there is a letter written in the 1910-1918 era, from E. G. Kuykendall, a Veterinary Doctor of Carmi, ILL in which he writes that "My great-grandfather Peter came to this County from near Bowling Green KY in 1807 or 1808. He stayed here a few years and went to Northern Missouri. His two sons James and Noah stayed here and later James moved to Indiana where some of his descendants still live, etc."
