       Was first at Watertown MA, then at Sudbury MA, and came to Westerly RI in 1669. He was in the early Colonial wars. He was admitted to the First Church of Stonington, CT, Nov 7, 1680.
       His will is dated Feb. 9, 1702, but does not mention his son James, by the first wife, nor daughters Sarah or Patience by the second wife. They probably died young or without children.

   BRIAN PENDLETON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1599-1910, Compiled by Everett Hall Pendleton, Privatley Printed MCMX, found in the DAR Library, Washington, DC. Page 1-77.
       Capt. James Pendleton, was born in England about 1627, or 1628, ans indicated by the facts that he was admitted freeman at Watertown, Mass., 10 May 1548, and that on the 26th of July 1672, he testified at Portsmouth, NH, he was forty-four years of age.
       On the 21st of Oct 1650, James Pendleton and Mary, his wife, of Watertown, Mass., sold to George Parkhurst, "Same towne" five or six acres known as "crocked meadow" (Middlesex Co., Mass., Deeds, I, 17). Shortly afterwards he removed to Sudbury, Mass., where he served on a coroner's jury in May, 1654.
       In 1671, James began to dispose of the property he had accumulated at Portsmouth and vicinity, with his wife, Hannah, he sold land and buildings at Portsmouth to Thomas Thatcher.
       On the 25th Jany. 1688, James Pendleton bought of Nathaniel Lynde 1,000 acres on the sea-coast of Westerly, including Watch Hill. He sold a small part of this land and the rest he willed to his sons, Joseph, Edmund, and Caleb.
       His death occurred in Westerly on the 29 Nov, 1709. Like his father he was active in public affairs until the time of his death and like his father too, wherever he went he became at once one of the leading citizens.
       The will of James-2 Pendleton, names wife, Hannah, sons: Joseph, Edmund and Caleb, daughters Ann Borwn, Eleanor Pendleton and Dorothy Pendleton, "children by my present wife, Hannah," and daughters Mary and Hannah "had by my former wife."
       No reference is made by Capt. James Pendleton to his sons, James-3 and Brian-3, named in his father's will in 1677, or to any heirs of these sons, and as no mention of any such has elsewhere appeared, it would seem indisputable that James-3 and Brian-3 died without issue. James-3 had died previous to 1698, but we have nothing to show what became of Brian-3.

     Went to Watertown, Mass., with parents from England. They moved to Sudbury, and he was given 140 acres of land by his father. Moved to Portsmouth, N.H., where he was in business with his father. There he was a selectman, 1663 to 1668; town clerk, 1663 and 1664; one of the commissioners (local magistrates) to determine small actions from 1667 to 1671, and captain of the Portsmouth military company from 1666 until 1674, his last year in Portsmouth. He owned property on the Great Island and continued in business after his father moved to Winter Harbor (Saco), Maine, in 1665.
     He moved to Stonington, Conn., being granted land, and also had some 700
   acres of land given him by his father. Those 700 acres are in what is now
   Westerly, Rhode Island, but both Connecticut and Rhode Island once claimed
   the Westerly area. (The land was given him in trust, with instructions it be
   passed on to his children by his second wife.)
     James, a staunch Puritan, favored Connecticut over the more liberal Rhode
   Island, but he eventually lost that fight. He continued his business activities and was affluent enough to be referred to as "Esquire" and "Gentleman."
     He was a selectman in both Stonington and Westerly, sold intoxicants,
   imported sugar from Barbados and had dealings with tobacco planters in
   Maryland. Dealing in liquor was not considered reprehensible in those days, and a man could engage in that business, as well as in politics, and still be a community leader and a pillar of the church.
     About the time he moved to Stonington, the King Philip's War broke out, and Capt. James took part. He also may have participated in the great Narragansett fight. He was awarded land in Voluntown for his services during the war. He also obtained captive Indians whom he sold into slavery.
     Eventually, James obtained more property in Rhode Island, buying 1,000 acres at Watch Hill in Westerly. His Watch Hill home still stands. It is unclear when he moved from Stonington to Westerly.
     There is a great deal more information in Early New England Pendletons.

       One distinctly useful addition to the genealogical literature is the inclusion here of facsimile of William Palmer's unprobated will. Although this genealogy does not say so, the original (and a framed tyuped coyp) of this will are found among the treasures of the Tuck Memorial Museum operated by the Hampton Historical Society. A photo-reproduction of the original will, and a transcription of it, are in cluded here. Unknown except to a few of us descendants of William Palmer, this will is now fortunately preserved in the literature.
       Of considerable interest in its own right, the will proves that Mr. Palmer had a daughter Mary, who must be the Mary Palmer of Watertown, Massachusetts, who married in Sudbury, on 22 October 1647, Captain James-2 (Brian-1) Pendleton of that place.
       William Palmer had earlier been of Watertown, and his older daughter, Martha, was married to John Sherman and lived there. The will was signed by Mr. Palmer's mark, which resembles a zero, and was witnessed by "Timothie Dalton Seniour" and "John Shearman". It is not known why this will was never submitted for probate, but fortunately it was preserved over the centuries and found its way to a relavively safe place.

They had the following children:

   James PENDLETON Jr. was born 5 Nov 1650 in Watertown, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts. He died before 1698.

   BRIAN PENDLETON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1599-1910, Compiled by Everett Hall Pendleton, Privatley Printed MCMX, found in the DAR Library, Washington, DC. Page 1-77.
       He was mentioned in the will of his grandfather, Major Brian Pendleton, in 1677, but in 1698 his half-brother, Joseph Pendleton, sold to Nicholas Morey, land on the Grand Island at Portsmouth, NH, "one acre of which was given to my brother, James Pendleton." (Rock, Co., NH, Deeds, ix, 321.) It would appear from this that James-3 died unmarried prior to 1698.

       While he is mentioned in his grandfather Pendleton's will in 1677, no further reference to him has anywhere been found, and as in the case of his half-brother, James-3, Jr. he undoubtedly died without issue and probably unmarried.

9. Caleb PENDLETON (Brian ) was born about 1630 in Sudbury, Middlesex, England. He died before 9 Aug 1677 in Westerly, Kings Co., Rhode Island.

   BRIAN PENDLETON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1599-1910, Compiled by Everett Hall Pendleton, Privatley Printed MCMX, found in the DAR Library, Washington, DC. Page 1-77.
       That Brian Pendleton had at least one other son besides Capt. James seems evident from the Middlesex Co., Mass., deed already referred to in which Brian refers to James as his "eldest sonne." That Caleb Pendleton was brother to James seems resonable certain.
       In the list of landholders at Portsmouth, NY, in 1657, Caleb is set down as the owner of 19 acres of land, and his name occurs immediately after those of Brian and James. In 1661 the town allotted an acre of land to Capt. James Pendleton which was bounded on Caleb's property. Tje following year Caleb was at Boston, and we have no further record of him until in the list of inhabitants at Westerly, RI, 1689, it is stated that "Lot 41 originally granted to Caleb Pendleton is given to George Landfeare." [Lanphere]. Caleb, son of James-2, was but ten years of age in this year, and so would hardly have had any grants of land made him.
      

Caleb married Judith.

       Mary Pendleton, only known daughter of Major Brian Pendleton, married Rev. Seth Fletcher, probably before 1655. He may have been son of William Fletcher of Concord, Mass., who died 3 Apr 1677, age 85 years. As early as 1655 Mr. Fletcher became the minister at Wells, Me., but owing to certain unorthodox views of his, was dismissed in October 1660. From this time until the outbreak of the Indian war in 1675 he resided in Saco supplying the pulpit except for short intervals from year to year.

Mary married Rev. Seth FLETCHER before 1655.

They had the following children:
