Up to the time Peleg Pendleton was fifty years old he made his homeat Westerly, RI. In 1757 he paid a tax there of 4s 7d. Early in life hebegan going to sea, and on the 4th of Oct. 1762, he bought with JamesBabcock for 6000 pounds "old tenor" (present value about $1.25 a pound),the 36-ton schooner, "Dalphin." In this vessel Peleg had a quarter shareand Babcock the balance (Westerly Records, x, 485).
During the smallpox epidemic in Westerly in 1774, it was voted bythe Town Council on the 28th of March of that year, "That Capt. PelegPendleton have an order on the town treasurer for 3 pounds, 12s, 8 1/2d,for his services in sending the nurses and getting the necessaries forthe people in the smallpox [hospital]". (C.& P. Rec., iv. 237).
On the first of May, 1775, Peleg was given a deed to 250 acres ofland in the township of Frankfort, Hancock Co., Province of Maine andstate of Massachusetts. Not long afterwards he made a clearing there andleft his son, Peleg, Jr., in charge of the property while he returned toRhode Island for the rest of his family. In the meantime the battle ofBunker Hill and the siege of Boston had shown the colonist that thedifference between them and the mother country could only be settled byprolonged war, and Peleg, believing that his family would be safest inWesterly, decided to remain there until the struggle was ended.
He had early opportunity to show his allegiance to the newgovernment the colonies had formed, subscribing his name as thesixty-fouth signer to the "Test Act" circulated at Westerly in 1776. Onthe 3rd of June, 1777, he was elected Lieutenant of Capt. James Babcock'sWesterly Train of Artillery. Between Nov. 6 and Dec. 6, 1777, he servedas a private in Capt. Edward Bliven's detachment from Col. Joseph Noyes'regt. militia (RI Military Returns). No futher record of him appears atWesterly save that on the 17th of Sept. 1781, he witnessed the will ofhis old associate, James Babcock.
Upon the colse of the Revolutionary War, Peleg Pendleton with allhis family, except the oldest daughter, removed to Maine and settled uponthe estate he had bought eight years before. He found that the log-househe had built there had fallen to pieces, and no trace of his son, Peleg,Jr., was to be found. What became of him has always remained a mystery.
Lient. Pendleton spent the rest of his life upon this farm. On the16 May 1789, he was a petitioner with his son, William and others, fromthe plantation of Frankfort, asking that the Mass. Legislatureincorporate that plantation into a township to be called Knoxburgh. Theirnames also appear in the later petition, 20 Nov 1789, praying forincorporation into a township to be known as Knoxbury. On 24 Feb 1794,Peleg's property came within the bounds of the township of Prospect,organized on that day, and a still later division, 13 Feb 1845, broughtit into the present town of Searsport. In the meantime, Maine, which hadbeen a District, or Province of Mass. ever since Brian Pendleton's time,was set off as a separate state in 1820, and Hancock Co., was divided 7Feb 1827, the western portion, in which lay Frankfort, forming part ofthe new county of Waldo. The reader should keep in mind these variousdivisions and changes when noting hereafter the birth-places, etc., ofPeleg's descendants, for to save repeating these facts so many times weshall generally refer to all of these events as having occurred atSearsport, Maine.

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).
