• Notes

  BRIAN PENDLETON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1599-1910, Compiled by Everett HallPendleton, Privatley Printed MCMX, found in the DAR Library, Washington,DC. Page 1-77. Eleanor was admitted to the Stonington church, 24th Oct 1702, andmade "public confession" on the 14th of June 1706. (Church Rec.). The date of her marriage is not of recorfd but is must have occuredbetween the 14th April 1709, when she was named as Eleanor Pendleton inher father's deed of that date, and the 6th of June 1710, when with herhusband William Walker, she signed an agreement concerning the divisionof Capt. James Pendleton's farm (W.E.E., ii, 90). William Walker did not long survive his wife, as on the 13th ofApril, 1713, the Town Council of Westerly appointed Nicholas Cottrell,Jr., administrator of the estate of William Walker, deceased, and orderedCottrell to pay to "widow Hannah Pendleton, grandmother of WilliamWalker's only child Sarah, the some of 7 pounds, 10s, annually until saidchild was seven years old, provided the grandmother does not refuse totake the child". In this event Cottrell was directed to hire some oneelse to take the child, or else do it himself. It is quite evident fromthis that Eleanor had died before her husband.
