Admitted freeman at Westerly, 4 May 1731, and his long life wasspent in that town as one of the most prominent citizens.
In 1742 he was one of the Council of the First Church of Stoningtonappointed to form a church at Westerly. The records of this church statethat on the 8th of April, 1752, "Decaon William Pendleton desired tocommune with us which was granted." March 22, 1752, "The Revd. Mr. Parkbeing returned from Boston, at the desire of Deacon Pendleton preachedfrom Jeremiah ye 8-2."
In June 1746, he was appointed a Justice of the Peace at Westerlyand served as such for several years thereafter. On the 11th of Nov.,1746, he was directed by the Rhode Island Assembly to repair at cost ofcolony the government's part of the Pawcatuck Bridge; his appointmentrefers to him as "Captain." In 1747 he was a Deputy from Westerly to theAssembly and in May of that year was appointed Major in the thirdregiment of the King's County Militia.
The following year he was re-elected to the Assembly and in June wasappointed Lieutenant Colonel of his regiment. He continued as such during1749 and in 1750 became Colonel of the regiment, as office which he heldfor ten years. In 1757, during the French and Indian War, he wasappointed muster Master, and in 1758, the Assembly voted to pay Col.Pendleton 71 Pounds, 4 shillings for expenses in raising his regiment in1756 (RI Col. Rec.). Among various items in the Westerly records relatingto him we find that on "February 9, 1787, Col. Wm. Pendleton Col. of theRegiment of King's Country Appeared before this Council & pray allowanceof 12 pounds for Numbering the Inhabitants of this town accd to act ofassembly, had an order" (West C & P Rec., iii. 509). It also appears thaton the 30th of August, 1762, it was "Voted that Col. Wm. Pendleton havean order to the town treasurer for the sum of 55 pounds, 1s. old tendorfor his expenses the Last Inferior Court he being Imployed in behalf ofthe town: (West. C & P Rec., iv. 12).
Col. Pendleton was one of the wealthiest men in Westerly. The taxlist for the town in 1757 shows that he was assessed 2,P, 12s-a greatersum than that paid by all the other Pendletons there combined-and theRhode Island census of 1774 says that he owned a slave. There is also atradition to the effect that during the Revolution he fitted out twoprivateers which were captured by the British. However that may be, itcannot be denied he served his country faithfully in that struggle whileacting as President of the Westerly Town Council.
This office Col. Pendleton held continuously from 1762 to 1731, andwhile the war was in progress, the councillors, besides their usualduties raised soldiers for the army, furnished them with clothing, andhad charge of all matters relating to the local defense.
Col. Pendleton further showed his patrictism by subscribing 40P tothe Continental Loan Office in 1779, and 4P more at a later date to helpmake up the deficency at Westerly ("Town Meeting," iv. 131,5). In July,1780, the Rhode Island Assembly appointed his to receive recruits atWesterly. (R.I. Col. Rec., ix, 126).
Another tradition relating to Col. William Pendleton says that hewas a good deal of a sportsman spending much of his time in hunting,accompanied by a negro slave, "Jack," and two dogs, "Prince" and"Granger." He carried two horns of powder with him, which he considered aday's sport to employ. There is much likelihood that there is more than agrain of truth in this tradition, as the Colonel's great-grandson, HadlaiF. Pendleton, of Norwich, NY, who is the authority for this anecdote, aswell as many others relating to the early Pendletons, has Col. William'sold powede-horns, and we have seen that the Rhode Island Census showedthat he was the woner of a slave. We have, however, found no records tothe dogs.
Col. William Pendleton's will, dated at Westerly, RI, 18 August 1785(See Appendix VIII), was probated 30 October 1786.
William-4 Pendleton married (1), at Stonington, Conn., 10 March1725/6, Lydia Burrows, daughter of John, Jr. and Lydia (Hubbard) Burrows.She was born at Groton, Conn., 19 April 1703, and died Westerly, RI 18August 1750. On the 27th of July, 1752, Col. William Pendleton requestedthe Town Council of Westerly to appoint him guardian of his children byhis former wife, so that he could receive the legacies given said wife byher father, John Burrows, late of Groton, dec. (C & P Rec. iii, 323).
William married (2), at Stonington, Conn, 4 April 1751, (25 April inFirst Ch. Stonington Rec.), Mrs. Mary Chesebrough, widow of ZebulonChesebrough, Sr., and daughter of John and Lucia (Stanton) McDowell.(History of Stonington).
