Some Famous People called John Kendrick
John Kendrick (American sea captain)
John Kendrick (1740–1794) was an American sea captain during the American Revolutionary War, and was involved in the exploration and maritime fur trading of the Pacific Northwest alongside his subordinate Robert Gray. He was the leader of the first US expedition to the Pacific Northwest. He is known for his role in the 1789 Nootka Crisis, having been present at Nootka Sound when the Spanish naval officer José Esteban Martínez seized several British ships belonging to a commercial enterprise owned by a partnership of companies under John Meares and Richard Cadman Etches. This incident nearly led to war between Britain and Spain and became the subject of lengthy investigations and diplomatic inquiries.
Kendrick was the first American to try to open trade with Japan. He began the Hawaiian sandalwood trade. He was killed during an exchange of cannon salutes with the ship Jackal when one of the cannons was loaded, purportedly by accident. John Kendrick was instrumental in pioneering trade in the Pacific Northwest, the Hawaiian Islands, and China, as well as helping the young United States establish itself as global trade power.

John Kendrick (May 27, 1825 – May 27, 1877) was an American politician.
Kendrick, the only son of the Hon. Green Kendrick (Lieutenant-Governor of Connecticut in 1851) and Anna M. (Leavenworth) Kendrick, was born in Charlotte, N. C., May 27, 1825. In 1829 his father removed from Charlotte to Waterbury, Conn.
He graduated from Yale College in 1843. After a short business experience in New York City, he studied law for a year with Norton J. Buel, Esq., of Waterbury, and for the next year at (1846-7) at the Yale Law School He did not, however, practice his profession with any regularity until a few years before his death. His residence continued in Waterbury, with the exception of a brief period (about 1859) during which he was an assistant editor of the Daily Register in New Haven. He represented Waterbury several times in the Connecticut Legislature, was for three terms Mayor of the city, and through his life an active democratic politician. In 1870 he was nominated for US Congress, but was not elected.
He died in Waterbury, May 27, 1877, being on that day 52 years of age. He had been confined to his house for several weeks by rheumatism, which so seriously affected the bones of one leg that an operation was performed and some pieces of the bone removed. Afterwards an artery in the leg burst, and he lived but a few hours.
In October, 1849, he was married to Miss Marian Mair, of Waterbury, who survived him with two of their three children. One son graduated Yale in 1872.
His residence, the John Kendrick House, is now a historical site.
