    Notes 
    • After his parents died, Alfred headed up the family, as can be seen from the 1850 census, in which three of his younger siblings lived with he and his wife.

      This is confirmed in "...a matter of history..." Old Times, Old People and Old Buildings: Newspaper Accounts of Nineteenth Century Life in Carmi and White County, Illinois (The White County Historical Society, P.O. Box 121, Carmi, Illinois 62821: 1996). In an article reprinted from the White County Democrat Centennial Edition published on July 30, 1914 by William D. Hay, it is noted that "Alfred Kuykendall succeeded his father, Noah, and married a Miss Graham, daughter of George Graham, the cooper. To Alfred and his wife were born several children, none of whom grew to man or womanhood except George G., and I do not see much prospects of the family going any further, though you cannot tell---there is always room for hope.

      Mr. Kuykendall's home being the largest in the settlement was for many years the meeting place for all gatherings. Religious services were held there, and many of the more or less and some of powerful preachers held their hearers in fear and trembling while they explained the love and teachings of the Lowely Nazarene. Not forgetting to tell something of the other fellow, hence the fear and trembling. All of Alfred's children were born in the three-story log house described above and he continued to occupy it until 1862. He then moved into his new frame home where he spent his last days, rounding out a long, useful and blameless life."

    • In the book by Kuykendall, George Benson "History of The Kuykendall Family Since Its Settlement in Dutch New York in 1646 With Genealogy,etc" (Portland, OR, 1919), E. G. Kuykendall cites eight sons of Noah Kuykendall: Henry, Peter, Alfred, Daniel, Samuel, James, Franklin, and Aaron (p 240). John Kuykendall cites Noah with only six sons, Alfred, Daniel, Peter, Samuel, Frank and Henry (p 241). (Note: Neither list a son John (1822-1842), shown by Velma Winn).

      The daughters of the family are based on census and marriage records, and the list prepared by Velma Winn.

      Keith McGuire lists one additional daughter, that I was unable to find on either census or marriage records of the county, Jane born ca 1832 who married a William Randolph. He could be confusing her with daughter Louisa, who married Andrew Rudolph.
