year at Dartmouth, Kendall's belief in Congregationalist theology began to waver. During a trip to Vermont to see relatives in September 1809, he worshiped at a Christian Church and was amazed to see that their religious services not only involved women but were emotionally charged. While living in Groton in the fall of 1811, he rejected Roman Catholicism and Unitarianism but was strongly attracted to the revivalist preaching of Congregational minister Edward Dodge Griffin. While living in Lexington, he attended some Methodist churches, but found them too loud and bombastic. Kendall later said that he converted to the Baptist faith shortly after establishing himself in Kentucky, although he did not formally join a Baptist congregation until 1865. Legacy Kendall County, Illinois, and Kendall, New York, are named in Kendall's honor. He is the namesake of Kendallville, Indiana. References Bibliography Adams, John Quincy.
