Descendants of Matthew Kuykendall b: 1758
A reader has alerted me that this Matthew Kuykendall is often confused with his first cousin Matthew Kuykendall born October 24, 1758; both men served in American Revolutionary War. I have made corrections and additions to this page as of May 13, 1999. Thanks to Larry A. Rickert for calling this to my attention.
