Thomas Surfleet Kendall was born in Marylebone, London in 1807, the third of nine children born to the Reverend Thomas Kendall and Jane Quickfall. His youth was one of adventure and discovery. He lived with his family for some time alongside the Maori people at the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. He then returned to England for a few years to train as a carpenter. By 1828, the 21-year-old Thomas Surfleet Kendall was running his fathers 500 acre Kiama property, which was known as Barroul. Thomas married Caroline Blake Rutter in 1830.
