HISTORY OF STONINGTON Ct, by Wheeler, page 532, 533.
Was first at Watertown MA, then at Sudbury MA, and came to WesterlyRI in 1669. He was in the early Colonial wars. He was admitted to theFirst Church of Stonington, CT, Nov 7, 1680.
His will is dated Feb. 9, 1702, but does not mention his son James,by the first wife, nor daughters Sarah or Patience by the second wife.They probably died young or without children.

BRIAN PENDLETON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1599-1910, Compiled by Everett HallPendleton, Privatley Printed MCMX, found in the DAR Library, Washington,DC. Page 1-77.
Capt. James Pendleton, was born in England about 1627, or 1628, ansindicated by the facts that he was admitted freeman at Watertown, Mass.,10 May 1548, and that on the 26th of July 1672, he testified atPortsmouth, NH, he was forty-four years of age.
On the 21st of Oct 1650, James Pendleton and Mary, his wife, ofWatertown, Mass., sold to George Parkhurst, "Same towne" five or sixacres known as "crocked meadow" (Middlesex Co., Mass., Deeds, I, 17).Shortly afterwards he removed to Sudbury, Mass., where he served on acoroner's jury in May, 1654.
In 1671, James began to dispose of the property he had accumulatedat Portsmouth and vicinity, with his wife, Hannah, he sold land andbuildings at Portsmouth to Thomas Thatcher.
On the 25th Jany. 1688, James Pendleton bought of Nathaniel Lynde1,000 acres on the sea-coast of Westerly, including Watch Hill. He sold asmall part of this land and the rest he willed to his sons, Joseph,Edmund, and Caleb.
His death occurred in Westerly on the 29 Nov, 1709. Like his fatherhe was active in public affairs until the time of his death and like hisfather too, wherever he went he became at once one of the leadingcitizens.
The will of James-2 Pendleton, names wife, Hannah, sons: Joseph,Edmund and Caleb, daughters Ann Borwn, Eleanor Pendleton and DorothyPendleton, "children by my present wife, Hannah," and daughters Mary andHannah "had by my former wife."
No reference is made by Capt. James Pendleton to his sons, James-3and Brian-3, named in his father's will in 1677, or to any heirs of thesesons, and as no mention of any such has elsewhere appeared, it would seemindisputable that James-3 and Brian-3 died without issue. James-3 haddied previous to 1698, but we have nothing to show what became ofBrian-3.

Went to Watertown, Mass., with parents from England. They moved toSudbury, and he was given 140 acres of land by his father. Moved toPortsmouth, N.H., where he was in business with his father. There he wasa selectman, 1663 to 1668; town clerk, 1663 and 1664; one of thecommissioners (local magistrates) to determine small actions from 1667 to1671, and captain of the Portsmouth military company from 1666 until1674, his last year in Portsmouth. He owned property on the Great Islandand continued in business after his father moved to Winter Harbor (Saco),Maine, in 1665.
He moved to Stonington, Conn., being granted land, and also had some700
acres of land given him by his father. Those 700 acres are in what is now
Westerly, Rhode Island, but both Connecticut and Rhode Island onceclaimed
the Westerly area. (The land was given him in trust, with instructions itbe
passed on to his children by his second wife.)
James, a staunch Puritan, favored Connecticut over the more liberalRhode
Island, but he eventually lost that fight. He continued his businessactivities and was affluent enough to be referred to as "Esquire" and"Gentleman."
He was a selectman in both Stonington and Westerly, sold intoxicants,
imported sugar from Barbados and had dealings with tobacco planters in
Maryland. Dealing in liquor was not considered reprehensible in thosedays, and a man could engage in that business, as well as in politics,and still be a community leader and a pillar of the church.
About the time he moved to Stonington, the King Philip's War brokeout, and Capt. James took part. He also may have participated in thegreat Narragansett fight. He was awarded land in Voluntown for hisservices during the war. He also obtained captive Indians whom he soldinto slavery.
Eventually, James obtained more property in Rhode Island, buying 1,000acres at Watch Hill in Westerly. His Watch Hill home still stands. It isunclear when he moved from Stonington to Westerly.

Three Hundred: Hannah Goodenow, born 28 Nov. 1639; married 29 April1656,
James Pendleton.
She was living in Westerly, R.I., in 1725. An Ancestral File Recordsays she
was born Nov. 28, 1639. But Sudbury, Mass., birth records put date as 25June
1640.

(Sudbury records cited).
[Vol. 17, p170, (again citing Sudbury records) says she was born 25June
1640. This appears to be an error in transcribing the records. In thebirth
record below, for Mary Goodnow, her cousin, the same birth date islisted.
Apparently the transcriber picked up this date for Hannah by mistake.]
Various sources say she the daughter of Jane Goodenow and HannahGoodenow as
well as of Ann(e) Barry. Latter cited most frequently. And one of thechildren
of Capt. James and Hannah (Goodenow) Pendleton was named Ann. None namedJane
or Hannah.

Name also spelled Goodenowe and Goodenough.
