Some of his propertywas at Long Point. He was elected surveyor of highways at Stonington, 18Dec 1760 ("Town Votes," ii, 218). Tradition says that William Pendleton owned a schooner and traded tothe coast of Maine, and the History of Islesboro [p.10] says he camethere in 1769, taking up 600 acres at the extreme southern end of theIsland, upon which he soon settled his family. William sold his lasttract of land and his house at Stonington to John Hillard, 11 Jan 1769.Previous to this he had sold to William Morgan for 612 pounds, 10s.,about 85 acres at Long Point, Stonington, 3 March 1767 (StoningtonDeeds).
