Do you know of Kendall Creek ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Kendall Creek. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Kendall Creek.<1>

Our sources for Kendall Creek (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Kendall Creek other than they indicate that Kendall Creek would be found somewhere in McKean County, Pennsylvania.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1841 and closed  in 1898.
