Notes:

Both John Wendell's Sr. & Jr. were well established in New Hampsireand in Boston, Massachusetts, owning properties and businesses in thetwo areas. They are believed to be linked to John Adam's, but as yetthere is no proof other than by association they were listed withc.1773, John Adams on the Sons of Liberty Listing, and all that can beoffered at the present time is that, John Adam's grandson was namedJohn Quincy Adams and that John Sr. Wendell was married to ElizabethQuincy.
It is known that the Wendell's were related also to: Probably the 3rdcousin of John Sr. Wendell was named Oliver Wendell Holmes, the greatwriter. More research is needed on Oliver Wendell Holmes as yet, butit should be interesting. [SLJuhl, compiler]

START: (Page 25): "JOHN WENDELL, eldest son of Abraham and his wifeKatarina (De Key) Wendell, was born in New York in 1703, and baptizedin the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church there, May 2 of that year. Hewas educated in that province, remaining there for some years, butsubsequently removed to Boston, Mass., where he entered upon business. He was a merchant and importer, doing an extensive traffic withforeign parts, being associated in copartnership with his uncle, Hon.Jacob Wendell, the firm having a large wholesale warehouse located in1754 upon Merchants Row, then the commercial centre of the West Indiatrade, situated at that time upon the edge of tide-water. The firm ofJacob Wendell & Co. was, however, a great sufferer by the destructivefire which visited Boston on March 20, 1760, sustaining, in commonwith numerous others (Griffen's as well), heavy losses from which itnever fully recovered. John Wendell was a citizen of high standingand respectability, and the contemporary in mercantile circles ofWilliam Phillips, Benjamin Greene, Josiah Quincy, John Erving, ThomasHancock and others, and while he does not appear to have been calledto public station, took, notwithstanding, great interest in theadvancement of colonial affairs. He was repeatedly commissioned inthe military establishment of the province, and ranked as a fieldofficer at the time of his death. He was identified with the Ancientand Honorable Artillery Company from 1733, was Ensign of that corps in1735, and its commander in 1740. His mansion stood in 1760, upon thecorner of Queen (the present Court) and Trea-mount (now Tremont)Streets, facing in that day upon the latter. (Page 26) The buildingnow
standing upon the site, at present occupied by lawyers' offices, andthe store of Messrs. S.S. Pierce & Co., is the identical structure,although it has since undergone very material alterations. A tabletinserted in the Court Street end commemorates the fact of itsoccupation by Washington upon the occasion of his visit to Boston in1789. (So, John Wendell Sr. & Jr. knew George Washington fairly wellthen to have had him as a guest in their home/mansion.) John Wendellmarried (November 10, 1724) Elizabeth, second daughter of Hon. Edmundand his wife Dorothy (Flynt) Quincy, of Braintree, by whom he hadissue of fifteen children, to wit:" See Listings. (Page 27) "JohnWendell upon the death of his first wife Elizabeth, was again married(1751) to Mercy Skinner, of Marblehead, but we find no record of hishaving had issue by her. He died Dec. 15, 1762."
