In ancient Anglo-Saxon England, the ancestors of the Bendall surname lived in the county of Salop (Shropshire), where the Bendall family took their name from the parish of Benthall, near Much Wenlock. References to the family name in this area date back to the 12th century. Benthall Hall is a 16th century English country house is located there, a few miles from the historic Ironbridge Gorge. The Hall was built around 1580, on the site of an earlier 12th century medieval manor and manor house. It proudly retains much of its fine oak interior, and an elaborate 17th century staircase. Moreover, it is still occupied by the Benthall family, but has been owned by the National Trust since 1958. Alternatively, the name could have been derived from Benthall, a village in Northumberland about 6 kilometers south east of Bamburgh.It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Bendall are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Bendall include: Bendall, Bendell, Bendal, Bendel, Bendle, Bentall, Benthall and many more.

Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Bendall or a variant listed above: Bendall Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
