Col. Kendrick is a native of Tazewell county, Va., and the unworthy son of Rev. W. P. Kendrick, a Methodist minister, who has suffered in property and person for refusing to take the oath to support Lincoln’s Government.

The former home (ca. 1854) of Union Col. William P. Kindrick, Jr., 2nd Tennessee Mounted Infantry, stands across North High Street. Kindrick was captured near Corinth, Mississippi while organizing the 3rd West Tennessee Cavalry. Confined in Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia, he escaped with 108 other Federal officers in February 1864. He returned home to Waynesboro where he died the following month and was buried in the family garden behind the house."

.....

I have not been able to ID any unit he was associated with.

Various documents record his unit affiliation as:

1 Tenn. W. Cav.
2nd Tenn. Inf.
2nd Tennessee Mounted Infantry,
3rd W. Tennessee
3d Tennessee (Yankee) regiment
3rd West Tennessee Cavalry
