Thorndike "T" Endicott

In some US Census documents the name is spelled Endecott and the birth year is given as 1895 or 1897.  He was born in Illinois, as were his father, Samuel J. Endicott (born 1871) , and mother, Mary J. Endicott (1876 - June 23, 1955).  His grandparent were William. H. Endicott (born in Indiana, birth years variously listed as “about 1821, “about 1828,” ) and Jane Cassander Cox and they were married in 1868.  His great-grandfather was Joseph Nation Endicott (see above in War of 1812 chapter), born in Kentucky and his occupation was listed as “merchant.”   At the time of the 1850 Census, William H. and his family were living next door to Joseph Nation Endicott.  This connects Burtis to a significant Endicott lineage.
