The Life Of Allen Kendrick
Allen Kendrick was born in Lauderdale County, Alabama March 11, 1811. He grew up on Cypress Creek, and was a boyhood friend of Tolbert Fanning. The Christian movement came to the Shoals area under the influence of the Lynn and Chisholm family who had brought the concept of New Testament Christianity to the area from their Kentucky home around the time of Kendrick's birth. In the fall of 1826, both Allen and Tolbert were converted to Christ under the preachings of B.F. Hall and James E. Matthews. It was not long before both were preaching in the area. Allen would later move to Kentucky and increase his relationship with the movement initiated by Barton W. Stone. He was married to Nancy Hughes Rose. To their union was born four children: three sons and one daughter. They were: Mansel, born March 12, 1846; Allen Rose, born July 27, 1849; Carroll, born May 24, 1852; and Pauline, born April 9, 1854. All three of their sons in turn became gospel preachers. The Kendrick family was highly esteemed and influential in the Christian movement. They influenced and baptized thousands of people. Allen and Nancy Kendrick lived many years in the community they settled on the northeastern Mississippi and Tennessee border. Alcorn County, Mississippi is where they planted the old Oak Hill Christian Church. Allen preached there, live and dead in the area. He passed from this life, December 1, 1859 and is buried in the Oak Hill Christian Church Cemetery. Nancy survived her husband nearly forty years, and died October 3, 1898. She was buried by the side of her husband. Allen Kendrick, fifth child of Jessie and Mary Parker, was a minister of the gospel, a co-laborer with Alexander Campbell, in the great "Restoration of the 19th Century." He died in Hamburg, Tennessee. He married Nancy Hughes Rose, b. 1821, d. 1889. They were married in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1845.
