Celia has composed several early Newport Pagnell families with the surnames Kendall, Mills, and Kendall als. Mylls. The primary source for them is the parish register but other records were also used. This covers up through the early 1600s in Newport Pagnell and they figure in to the 1605 will of Thomas Mylls als. Kendall. More Newport Pagnell families and others in parishes nearby may eventually be extracted as we try to expand on the family network of Thomas and Francis Kendall als. Miles.
