  BRIAN PENDLETON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1599-1910, Compiled by Everett Hall, page 60. 21. Edmund-4 Pendleton, Jr. (Edmund-3), was born probably atWesterly, RI, and died early in 1789, at Stratford, Conn. He was admittedfreeman at Westerly, RI, 7 Jun 1732 ("Town Meetings," Book 1, page 52),and was an inn-keeper there for a number of years, as the Town Counciland Probate records show he was licensed annually to sett "strong liquor"between 1744 and 1752. On the 28th of Sept. 1747, Edmund Pendleton, Jr., was made bondsmanfor Lieut. John Garner, "Late of Stonington, now Cohabiting in this town"(C & P rec., iii, 126), and in 1750 he was administrator of his father'sestate. On the 25th of Mar 1754, it was voted by the Town Council ofWesterly, "That the Clerk of this Council Gave a Certificate to yeSelectmen of Stratford that We do own Edmund Pendleton his wife andfamily to be inhabitants of this Town & as Such Will Receive them fromthat town When required" (C. & P. rec., iii, 298). Edmund-4 Pendleton probably removed to Stratford shortly afterreceiving this certificate, and the rest of his life was undoubtedlypassed in that town. Both Edmund and his wife were living in 1786, asshown by the will of their son, Solomon (Appendix VII), which reads: "Inconsideration of the care and tenderness of my dear parents to me in myinfancy I do give and bequeath unto my brother Daniel five hundred poundssterling the value thereof in landed property, . . . on considerationthat my said brother Daniel do support and maintain them in a comfortablemanner during their lifetime." On the 29th of January, 1789, William Pendleton was appointedadministrator on Estate of Edmund Pendleton, late of Stratford, deceased(Strantford Conn. Probate rec., ii, 19). The inventory taken thefollowing day and submitted 3 Feb 1789, including only furniture andwearing apparel to the total of 15.13.9 Pounds. (Ibid., ii, 20). On the 26th May 1792, administrator's account against estate ofEdmund Pendleton was allowed. 6.10.6 pounds (Ibid, iii, 82). Edmund-4 Pendleton's marriage evidently did not occur until he was amiddle-aged man. Five of his sons took active parts in the Rebolutionarywar, and the record of their services shows them to have formed anexceedingly patriotic family. Edmund-4 married at Stonington, Conn, 9 Apr 1738, Susannah King(Stonington Church Records). Sources: Early New England Pendletons; Brian Pendleton and HisDescendants. Early: Edmund Pendleton, baptized 23 Nov. 1735, Second Church ofStonington, along with siblings Daniel, "Dorotha," and Rebecca.
