• Robert Underhill lists Thomas' parents as John Kendrick (1735-1802) and Amy Fox (1740 Surry Co., VA-?), m. 1760, but the dates don't add up since Thomas was supposedly born around 1736. According to Robert Underhill, Amy's parents are considered Col. Richard Fox of King William Co., VA and Hannah Williamson. John's parents are considered William Kendrick (1704 King William Co., VA-?) and Sarah Jones of Suffolk Co., VA, m. 1726. Robert Underhill lists a brother for Thomas named John (1764-1825) who married Martha Dinkins (1766-?) in 1785.

• The 1860 census calls him Isaac N. Some sources say he was born on the 14 instead of the 4. Findagrave.com says he was born on the 24th.
• Some sources call her Sallie Arba. Mary Harriet Henderson calls her Sarah Roberts. Mary Harriet Henderson's family book, Ruth Henderson's Birthdays book and the Ripley cemetery list call her Sallie Arva. The 1850 census calls her Sarah. DAR Genealogical Research Databases and Hattie K. Henderson's DAR application call her Sara Arva. The family book and the Murphy family say she was born 27 Mar 1839. The 1900 census for Union Co. listing her son-in-law's household says she was born in Georgia.
• The Murphy family says son Joseph was born in 1866. Findagrave.com says he died Oct 27.
• DAR Genealogical Research Databases calls son John John Postill.
• One source calls son Arthur D. Arthur. The family bible and Mary Harriet Henderson's family book call him Arthur Chamber Kendrick. The Ripley cemetery listing, Findagrave.com and his tombstone call him Arthur Chandler Kendrick. Ruth Henderson's Birthdays book lists an Uncle Arthur having a daughter named Emily Rebecca Kendrick born 20 Mar 1905. She married a Hal Weatherford. It's unclear whether this is the Uncle Arthur mentioned.
• Some sources call son Lee R. Lee Kendrick. The family bible and Mary Harriet Henderson's family book call him Lee Suggs Kendrick. Ruth Henderson's Birthdays book says an Uncle Lee had a son named John Burton Kendrick, called Jack, and born 22 Jun 1942. This Lee would have been in his 70s when this child was born, but at this point, I don't know who else Uncle Lee could be. Another child called John P. Kendrick is listed as "Lee's son" and was born 23 Aug 1924, also when Lee was an older man. There's also a daughter of "Uncle Lee" called Mary Elizabeth Kendrick born 12 Sep 1909. There's another called Lida Kendrick born 13 Oct 1914. Whatever Mary H. Wood was reading from in her recording with Ruth Henderson says he died in 1947.
