My family is, as far back as I can find, from England. There is much discussion in our family of a French connection or possibly Belgium. At any rate we arrived in the American colonies in 1640 with the arrival of Richard Hendee b.abt 1620. He was one of the first proprietors of Norwich, Conn.. The family, as it grew, began to spread Westward. Many family members moved to Rutland, Vermont where many still live today. Others moved into Dutchess County, New York and traveled up the Hudson river to Saratoga, NY and finally, with Zebulon Hendee, his wife Barbery and 10 children, settled in Webster, Monroe County, NY. in 1810. In those days the area was called Penfield, Ontario County, NY. Many of the family continued their pilgrimage Westward into Ohio. But, many stayed in Webster. Our family was one of those who stayed in Webster where I grew up and married the girl across the street. After 50 years of marriage we have retired in Florida, USA with our two children and two grandsons.
