Carroll Kendrick

William Downen died in December 1839 and his estate was admitted to probate Jan. 5, 1840 in the Chancery Court of Pontotoc Co., in cause #79. His brother-in-law, James Ticer who married Harriet Kendrick, was appointed administrator. Nancy Downen was granted a widow's allowance of 5500 pounds. of cotton, certain household items, and a few head of livestock. In an inventory of the estate, it was stated that one of her sons had run away with a horse, which horse was counted against the widow's allowance.

Among the assets of the estate was a note made by Mary Kendrick, co-signed by A. Kendrick in the amount of $10.00. Mary Kendrick was also listed as buying a cow and calf at the sale of personal property of the deceased. She cannot be identified, but was probably either mother or sister of Nancy Kendrick Downen. A. Kendrick is thought to be her brother, Allen, who later settled near Corinth, Ms. By family tradition, another brother, Carrol Kendrick, went to Calif. during the Gold Rush and later became a medical missionary.
