About
Jump to
Captain George Kendall (c. 1570 – December 1, 1608) was a member of the first council appointed at Jamestown in the Colony of Virginia. Kendall arrived with the founding fleet, and was sworn to the council on May 13, 1607. After landfall was made at Jamestown Island, Kendall was apparently instrumental in the construction of the first fortification. He was still a member of the council on June 22, 1607, when the first report was written and sent to the council in London. He was removed from the council, stripped of his arms, and imprisoned aboard a ship sometime between July and September 1607.
