• Notes

  BRIAN PENDLETON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1599-1910, Compiled by Everett Hall,page 64. 24. Rebecca-4 Pendleton (Edmund-3), was born probably at Westerly,RI; her date of death is unknown. She married, 30 Aug 1741, OliverSteward (Stewart), (First Church, Stonington, rec.), born 12 Feb 1719,son of William and Sarah (Church) Steward (History of Stonington, page603). For some years after their marriage they lived at Westerly, whereOliver bought land of Joshua Rathbun on the 9th day of the 5th month,1746 (W.I.F., vii, 365). Prior to 1756 they removed to Stonington, asthey called themselves of that town in the deed they made to JonathanFoster of their Westerlyt property on the 13th of January in that year(Ibid., ix, 205) What became of this family afterwards is unknown, as none of theirnames appear later upon the Westerly, Stonington, or New London records.It is possible that they may have removed to Voluntown, Conn., whereOliver received a tract of land by his father's will -- dated 30 Oct 1753(New London Probate rec., Book F, p. 569). The church records ofVoluntown, however, do not refer to him. We have accordingly been unableto determine wehther or not Oliver and Rebecca had other children besidesthe following three given in the Westerly records. That they may have had other children seems not unlikely, and Mr.Edwin Vincent of New York City states he has somewhere come across arecord which indicates Oliver and Rebecca had additional children,Oliver, Jr., and Dorothy. NOTE -- A possible clue to this family may be given in the US Censusof 1790, in which the names of Oliver and Daniel Steward appear asresidents of Cornwall, Conn., the latter, however, evidently being aminor. The Litchfield District Probate Records do not refer to them.
