1. Benjamin was in the Battle of Kings Mountain and was killed by Creek Indians in his own yard near Bledsoe's Lick.
2. Betty Kuykendall Price gives source as List of Early Tennesse Settlers, Vol. 1, No. 1 Apr 1985 Tennessee Ancestors', a publication of the East Tennesse Historical Society.3. She further reports that in "Stirpes" a quarterly publication of Texs State Genealogical Society, Vol. 33 Number 2 June 1993, pages 24-27 "Kuykendall Folklore and Facts" by Bonnie Kuykendall, discusses a lette4r by her Aunt Eugenia Kuykendall Stiles dated March 10, 1910 from Nacogdoches Co. Tx mentions that Benjamin Kuykendall was killed by Indians in Sumner Co. TN near Desha's Creek (Kuykendall's homestead) between Whites' Station and Col. Saunder's Fort. She said that according to Sumner Co., records, he left a wife Jane, and sons John, Benjamin, Jesse, Jonathan, James, Lewis, and Robert.
(Her Aunt Eugenia said there were 10 children, 9 boys and 1 girl (Sally).4. (Note BKP - there are only seven boys listed. Jenny married Reubin Martin but needs further research as if Sally is the 1 girl, Jenny would make it two. This needs further clarification)
5. According to John Carr's "Early Times in Middle Tennessee" which was published in 1857, mentions the death of Benjamin Kuykendall, killed y Indians May 16, 1791, near White's Station and Col. Saunders's Fort. In another paragraph, "near White's Station on the waters of Desha Creek, a for of Bledsoe's Creek". Questions by BKP: Were there two Benjamin Kuykendalls killed by indians in 1791 or did one of the two sources of information wrtie an incorret date? If so, what is the correct date?
6. Alternate date of death: 29 Jun 1791.
