Seeking info on 4th g-grandfather Daniel Wendell (b. abt 1770?) of Massachusetts
GWJ
I believe Daniel Wendell, to be the father of my 3rd g-grandfather Benjamin Wendell, b. Nov 1799, d. 8 July 1866, in Truro, Barnstable County, Massachusetts.(Only info I have on Daniel is his possible birth date. No wife or locations other than Massachusetts), Benjamin was married to Anna Elizabeth Brewer, b. abt 1799, d. 21 Nov 1839 in Truro. They had at least seven children, Elizabeth Betsy Knowles Wendell, Nancy Atkins Wendell, 2 sons named John Brewer Wendell, Benjamin Franklin Wendell, Mary Wendell, and my 2nd great-grandfather Rueben Brewer Wendell 1830-1907. Reuben married Eunice H. Knight, 1830-1901, of Pownal, Cumberland County, Maine. She died in Wakefield, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. They had five children, Benjamin Edgar Wendell, Betsy Wendell, Walter True Wendell, Harriet Ann Wendell, and my great-grandmother Annie Estelle Wendell. Annie married William George Clayton Horton. I possess more information, and some photographs of several of these individuals. If anyone can assist me it would be deeply appreciated. Thank you, GWJ P.S. Other related family surnames of interest attached.

Thank you for the information and your time & effort. Catherine is a clue I did not have. Have you discovered anything relative to Catherine's husband being Daniel Wendell?
Respectfully,
GWJ
noggin on 2013-09-28 05:27:46I COULD NOT FIND A MARRIAGE FOR A DANIEL WENDELL TO A CATHERINE ..........
NOR COULD I FIND A BIRTH / CHRISTENING FOR BENJAMIN WITH A MOTHER CATHERINE.
ONE POSSIBILITY IS CATHERINE WAS NOT MARRIED.
DO YOU KNOW OF ANY SIBLINGS FOR BENJAMIN ?
GWJ on 2013-09-29 09:20:19To noggin,
I know of one, alleged, older brother named Nathaniel born about 1792.
The following has yet to be proved:
Nathaniel WENDELL Sex: M
Marriage(s):
Spouse: Sophronia WISE
Marriage: 30 Mar 1829
Civil, Sandwich, Barnstable, Massachusetts
The following is possibly, I believe, the same Nathaniel Wendell's son Daniel:
