A comment appeared at this site re documentation of Mendenhalls. Suggest: Start at the Mendenhall Family Association at https://www.mendenhall.org/. Our last personal foray into ancestry (this is my husband's side; his grandmother was a Mendenhall) was decades ago at a reunion at the Mendenhall Inn, Brandywine Valley, Mendenhall, PA, and Kennett Square. The Kennet River runs through Mildenhall, Wiltshire, England; see Kennett Square, PA. Mendenhall land: The Mendenhall married a Wilson, land included at Toughkenamon, Chester County, PA. Understood that the Mendenhall family came over with or contemporaneous with William Penn, but I never went into documentation. Enjoy! Easy start, but verify, at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mildenhall-46:
- "JOHN MENDENHALL was born on 30 Oct 1659 in Marridge Hill, Wiltshire, England. He died on 19 Aug 1743 in Newark, New Castle, Delaware.
- "He was born with the last name of Mildenhall. When he and his brother Benjamin came to America the spelling was changed to Mendenhall. All their descendants used this spelling."
