Brief summary
MCKENDRICK, MICHAEL: born about 1796 in PEI and died 15 December 1870 most likely in the Red Bank area. He married 1st Louisa Estey on 2 November 1820 in No Co, NB. The daughter of Daniel Estey and Louisa Crowe, she was born in South Esk Parish and died about 1846. He married 2nd Mary White on 13 December 1848 in No Co, NB. She was born about 1803 in County Down, Ireland and died 5 February 1874 in Red Bank Area. Michael was very active in the community, holding a number of parish offices.<br /> <br /> He was a successful lumberman and during the 1840’s he acquired most of the assets of the former lumber business of John Cuppage at Red Bank. He was Red Bank’s first postmaster, serving in that position from 5 January 1854 until 1870 when he died. It is believed he is buried in St. Stephen’s United (former Presbyterian) Cemetery, Red Bank, NB as there are records of him calling for tenders in July 1853, to finish the gallery of the new Presbyterian Church that was being built in Red Bank. All the children listed below are children of Michael and Louisa.<br /> <br /> Submitted by: Loran & Barb McKay
