START: (Page 27): "JOHN WENDELL, fourth son of John and his wifeElizabeth (Quincy) Wendell, was born in Boston September 10, 1731. Hereceived the requisite preparation for Harvard College, entered thatinstitution at the age of fifteen, and was graduated thence in 1750.Shortly afterwards he removed to Portsmouth, in the Province of NewHampshire, where he established himself as a real estate lawyer adconveyancer, and became subsequently possessed of large landedinterests. He held professional and social relations with many ofthe leading citizens of the time, who were prominent during theRevolutionary period, among whom we note names of Hancock, Quincy,Otis, Laugdon, Livingston, Morris, Hamilton, Jay, and Ethan Allen,while he was the warm personal friend of Hon. Elbridge Gerry, Gen.Philip Schuyler, Gen. Peter Gansevoort, Gen, John Sullivan and ThomasDudley. He was a man of vigorous mind and energetic disposition, andit may be mostly said of him that he contributed freely from hismoderate fortune, as well as by his pen, towards sustaining the standearly taken in the province against the arbitrary exactions of theCrown. Although repeatedly solicited to occupy official station, hepersistently declined so doing, preferring to remain apart from publiclife, and unbiassed in his political opinions. He was a ready speakerand writer, and a man of considerable scholastic taste, in recognitionof which he received the degree of Master of Arts from Yale College in1768, and from Dartmouth in 1773. He died in Portsmouth, April 29,1808, in his seventy-seventh year. John Wendell married (June 20,1753) Sarah, eldest daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Frost)Wentworth, of Portsmouth, by whom he had issue of eleven children, towit:" See Listing.

?Destruction of the Tea in Boston Harbor
On the night of 16 December 1773, a party of marauding "Indians"boarded three vessels--Dartmouth, Eleanor, and Beaver--that weremoored at Griffin's Wharf in Boston, intending to destroy theircargoes of East India Company tea. This act was the culmination ofmany days of posturing, threats, and counter-threats among themerchants and government officials and the radical colonists. Incensedat the landing of three ships carrying East India Company tea in lateNovember, colonists had been blocking the unloading of the tea andconvening meetings of their local Committees of Correspondence, whichdemanded that the tea be returned to England without delay.?

?Earlier that day, a mass meeting at the Old South Church attractedthousands of people from Boston and the surrounding towns, includingpatriots Samuel Adams, James Warren, and Josiah Quincy, Jr. After aday of inflammatory discourse, Governor Thomas Hutchinson's refusal toallow the ships in port to leave without discharging their cargoes oftea was apparently the last straw. Samuel Adams rose, announcing thathe did not see what more the inhabitants could to do save theircountry. At this, war-whoops filled the hall, and between 30 and 60men, disguised as Indians, rushed out of the hall and into the streetsof Boston, heading for Griffin's Wharf and its three tea-laden ships.In all, 340 large wooden chests containing some 90,000 pounds of teawere dumped into Boston Harbor that night. To this day the identitiesof the participants in the "tea party" are shrouded in mystery, buthistorian Benjamin W. Labaree identifies members of the SONS OFLIBERTY, freemasons, and members of local Committees of Correspondenceas the most likely "Indians."

Dear sir

Philadelphia 11th June 1776
?I recd. your Favours of the 21st & 27th May & Am obliged to You forthe Intelligence therein contained; (2) It will afford me Pleasure tocontinue the Correspondence proposed, & from being apprized of thepolitical Movements in your Colony as well as the principlesproductive of the same, I doubt not that Opportunities will frequentlyoffer of touching upon some thing that will add Harmony to the commonCause.
I agree with You with Respect to some Inconveniences that will arisefrom opening our Ports & am persuaded that had they continued openthro the Winter & been closed in the Spring a much larger Supply ofArms & Ammunition would have been introduced into the Colonies & lessAdvantages have been derived to the Enemy by Captures; but as it hashappened the matter has been veiwed in a different light, & theRestrictions on Trade have been so pressingly felt by the Merchants &Farmers in the southern Colonies that it became necessary to adoptthis Measure of opening the ports to quiet.?
Pg. 188 cont?d their Minds: notwithstanding which I believe littleTrade will be carried on, unless in armed Vessels, untill it shall bebetter protected. With Respect to the French Nation their Interestseems to be connected with that of the Colonies under the presentSituation of the latter, for if France can avail herself of theirtrade it will greatly add to her resources while G. Britain's areproportionably weakened, & if she ever expects to rise superior to thelatter there cannot be a more favourable Opportunity for effecting itthan is furnished by the present contest. Great Care is certainly tobe taken by the Colonies in forming such an Alliance, but so long asit is confined to Commerce & they grant only their Trade for aprotection thereof, there cannot be Danger arising from theConnection, but, as it appears to me, there will be all theprobability of immediately engaging France in a Rupture wth Britain,by which Means a Diversion will be made to her Arms in Europe & such aWar carried on as will be most for the Interest of the Colonies.
I have attended to your Desire relative to the [ . . . ] (3) It mustbe by your Brother Mr Wendell who is the present Agent in the Colony.In Massachusetts Bay the [ . . . ,] but whether any provision is madein New Hampshire You can best determine; if not & the [ . . . ] isunder the Direction of the Agent, Mr. Wendell. It must be [ . . . ]for the Congress have in most of the Colonies Agents of their ownappointment, who were nominated agreable to order by the MarineCommittee, but Mr. Langdon having been nominated for Portsmouth & anobjection made on Account of his being a Member of Congress, the placeis not yet filled from the Want of Oppertunity, & I think ofConsequence Mr. Wendell continues their Agent untill a new appointmenttakes place. I see no objection to his Reappointment.
Our Affairs in Canada are at present unfortunate. I have never likedtheir appearance since my Arrival here & hope that a favourable Changewill take place, but however it may happen We must use Misfortune as aStimulus to new & greater Exertions.
I observe you have begun to Speculate in the papers & think You havemade a good Exordium: I hope You will go on & successfully finish theTheme. The paper will undoubtedly prove a good one but the printers inour own Colony & this City generally furnish Us with One or two a Daywhich are as many as We can well peruse.
I observe what You hint relative to my Brother J.G.(4) & shall attendthereto.
Pray inform Doctor Jackson that in April last I sent him by MrTileston of Boston 130 Dollars granted by Congress & shall be glad toknow whether he has received it.

History
The area that today is Rockingham County was first settled byEuropeans moving north from the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts asearly as 1623. The government was linked tightly with Massachusettsuntil New Hampshire became a separate colony in 1679, but Countiesweren't introduced until 1769.
Rockingham was identified in 1769 as one of five original counties forthe colony. It is named for Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess ofRockingham, who had been Prime Minister in 1765-1766. The county wasorganized in 1771, with its County Seat at Exeter. In 1844 its areawas reduced by the formation of Belknap County to the northwest. In1997 the county court facilities were moved to the current county seatat Brentwood.

START: (Page 28): "JACOB WENDELL, the sixth child of John by hissecond wife, Dorothy (Sherburne) Wendell, was born in Portsmouth,N.H., December 10, 1788. Educated in his native town, he enteredbusiness life on leaving school, and acquired, within a comparativelyshort period, such thorough mercantile training and familiarity withcommercial matters, as enabled him, a few years later, to become amerchant and importer on his own account, in the Russian and WestIndia trade. In this pursuit he was remunerated by abundant returns,and with judicious and conservative management, he rapidly accumulatedwhat was for those days a handsome property, becoming a prominent andrespected citizen.
The responsibilities of affairs unquestionably tend, in a greater orless degree, towards absorption of the social and domestic tastes.Too often is the man of business, engrossed in watchful scrutiny ofhis interests, and (Page 29) wrapped in contemplation of fresh plansfor added influence and profit, inclined to subordinate to anindifferent place those cheering and brightening associations of homeand its surroundings, which do so much to render life desirable andhappy. This could not be said of Mr. Wendell. He possessed strongpoints of character. He was energetic, clear-headed and prudent, ofsterling integrity and honor; devoted to his business, and unceasinglyfaithful to its demands upon him; but he did not allow it to mar orlessen the force of social ties. He was a loving and affectionatehusband and father, a generous brother and indulgent friend, and itwas in the congenial domestic circle that he sought and found hisrespite from the care and bustle of business life.
It was in 1815 that he embarked with his brother Isaac Wendell andothers in the enterprise of establishing and operating some of theearlier mills founded in New Hampshire for the manufacture of cottoncloth. The industry of weaving textile fabrics was then in itsinfancy upon this side the Atlantic, very little being known here atthat period of the improved machinery patented in Great Britain, whichwas prohibited by the government from exportation abroad. The embryomanufacturers purchased, through Daniel Webster, then resident inPortsmouth, several fine water privileges, the first acquisition beingthe estate in Dover, known as the Waldron farm, upon which theyerected successively several structures. In the fall of 1821, thefirst mill was ready to commence operations, and its machinery wasstarted in control of a skillful superintendent, under such favorableauspices, and with such satisfactory results, that two years lateranother mill was built upon the Salmon Falls river, upon a sitepurchased of Mr. Gershom Horn, which was the pioneer factory of theGreat Falls corporation.
For some time everything went prosperously. The mills earned ahandsome profit upon the capital invested, the stock advanced to apremium, and all seemed to augur well for the future, when the notablecommercial (Page 30) panic of 1827-28 swept the country, and onemercantile crash succeeded another. The destruction of all confidencein business credit and financial strength was rapid and wide-spread,involving on all sides extended commercial ruin, among which was thefailure of the Great Falls Manufacturing Company, and the consequentprecipitation of heavy losses upon Jacob Wendell, with others, whichwere terribly severe. The shock of this calamity, though it veryseriously and almost hopelessly crippled him financially, did not,however, cause him utter discouragement. While overwhelmed by thesudden and terrible revulsion of fortune, his spirit was not crushed,and accepting the unwelcome circumstances in which he was placed, hedevoted his energies, for the long years which were to come, towardsthe amelioration of the catastrophe.
He held firm and pronounced religious convictions, being from earlyyears connected with the well known South Parish society ofPortsmouth. He united with its church membership during the memorablepastorate of the Rev. Dr. Nathan Parker, between whom and himselfexisted the most cordial friendship, while the active interest heevinced in all relating to the welfare and prosperity of the ancientparish in which he was brought up, continued to the time of hisdecease. He had marked taste for historical and antiquarian matters,and was a corresponding member of the New England HistoricGenealogical Society from 1847. He was married (Aug. 15, 1816) toMehetabel Rindge, only daughter of Mark and Susanna Rogers, (Page 31)of Portsmouth, with whom he lived most happily for a long period ofyears, only terminated by her death, which occurred April 30, 1859.They were blest with a family of eight children, six of whom theylived to see grow to years of maturity, and occupy reputable anduseful relations in society.

Notes:

NOTE: In the research that this compiler has done on this family itbecame apparent that this "Wendel" family is the only one in the areasdiscussed. Albeit, that each family had multiple children and largefamilies in general, so that the family grew tremendously and quicklywith many, many branches. However, the genealogy portion of the malemembers with just the surname Wendel-Wendell who are direct lines ofthis immediate family were not too numerous, and thusly in the censusrecords were able to be discerned as to who was who in the early yearsof settlement along with source # 2 below.

1). SOURCE: In following the Federal Census records back to 1840,it was possible to place Daniel D. Wendell as a white gentleman of20-30 years old with a 20-30 year old white female (wife-Harrietprobably) together living in Portsmouth, Rockingham County, NewHampshire. Living in the same county was 50-60 year old Abram(Abhm-Abraham) Wendell with his family. Along with them was Edward S.Wendell and A.Q. Wendell probably brothers or near relatives. ADaniel W. Wendell and Jacob Wendell also lived near them, and are nodoubt near relatives. More research is required on the family;However, it is surmised that since the ages in the census records domatch, and they are all living so closely near each other, that it ishighly probable that Abraham Wendell, son of John Wendell is no doubtDaniel D. Wendell's father and John Wendell is Daniel's grandfather.John Wendell is also in the Federal Census records for 1790 inPortsmouth, Rockingham County, New Hampshire. He is also the onlyWendell listed for the 1790 Census in the Portsmouth area. In the1840 and 1850 census Jacob Wendell is living in Portsmouth also and isvery prominent in business and socially. I refer you to his notes.He did not have a son named Daniel.

BY JAMESRINDGE STANWOOD, OF BOSTON; COPYRIGHT, 1882, pages 17-34 & 47. Theentire book is 51 pages in length.
www.neflin.org/srrl; Heritage Quest Online
The genealogy lineage was obtained beginning with the ancestor fromthe Netherlands to America and the subsequent generations listed inthe book to c.1882 A.D. Even though the book is well over a hundredyears old and the copyright laws are now somewhat laxed with it'susage, only excerpts were noted in this work. The full lineage forthose that are interested is available on the Internet site listedabove.
[Obtained: 05 January 2007, SLJuhl, compiler]
In this book is the genealogy from the first ancestor from theNetherlands to America onward to c.1882 A.D. After careful study ofthe family line, Daniel D. Wendell could only be the son of twogentlemen who were sons of John Wendell. (1). George WentworthWendell, b. 22 Mar 1771, d. 22 Jun 1836; or (2). Abraham Wendell, b.18 Mar 1785, d. 27 Mar 1865. All of the daughters were ruled out,all of the males who were single, and all of the males who died beforethe year 1812 of Daniel's birth. That left only the two gentlemenmentioned. However, Abraham was the only one living in Portsmouth,Rockingham, N.H. near Daniel D. Wendell in 1840 that was old enoughto be his father. Until further research is completed, Abraham willbe listed as Daniel's father. I must also comment that Jacob Wendellwas in the same census of 1840 in Portsmouth, but in the book'sgenealogy Jacob's son Daniel died in 1807. Jacob is probably NOT thefather of Daniel D. Wendell for that reason. Jacob would probably beDaniel's uncle.
