Where did the Scottish MacKendrick family come from? What is the Scottish MacKendrick family crest and coat of arms? When did the MacKendrick family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the MacKendrick family history? The chronicle of the name MacKendrick begins with a family in the Pictish clans of ancient Scotland. The name is derived from the personal name Henry.When the first dictionaries were invented in the last few hundred years, spelling gradually became standardized. Before that time, scribes spelled according to sound. Names were often recorded under different spelling variations every time they were written. MacKendrick has been written Hendry, Hendrie, MacHendry, MacHendrick, MacKendrick and many more. First found in Fife, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

The crossing to North America did not seem so great in comparison with the hardships many Scots endured at home. It was long, expensive, and cramped, but also rewarding. North America offered land and the chance for settlers to prove themselves in a new place. And many did prove themselves as they fought to forge a new nation in the American War of Independence. The ancestors of those Scots can now experience much of their once-lost heritage through the Clan societies and highland games that have sprung up across North America in the last century. A search of immigration and passenger lists revealed many important, early immigrants to North America bearing the name of MacKendrick: Daniel and James Hendrie arrived in Philadelphia in 1858; Joe Hendry settled in Virginia in 1635; Thomas Hendry settled in Barbados in 1669; Robert Hendry settled in New Hampshire in 1719.
