- From Genealogical and Historical Notes on Culpeper Co., VA:
HENRY PENDLETON, eldest son of Philip Pendleton, the emigrant, and Isabella Hart or Hurt, was born in 1683. He m. in 1701, Mary Taylor, dau. of James Taylor, of Carlisle, Eng.. and his 2nd. wife Mary Gregory. Henry was 18 and Mary 13 years of age. He died in 1721, the same year his youngest son, Edmund, was born. His wife m. 2nd. Ed. Watkyns and died 1770. Of his five sons, the oldest, James, and the third, Nathaniel, were for many years Clerks of the Vestry and Lay readers at the small chapels of St. Mark's Parish; and Philip, the son of James, was Clerk in 1782, when the Vestry books closed. His two daughters married brothers, James and William Henry Gaines. His youngest son, Edmund, though without a father's care, made for himself a name which will be known and remembered as long as Virginia's sons read her history. By his large circle of nephews and nieces, many of them his own age, he was loved and revered, and the tradition of his kindness and ever ready help is handed down through nearly every branch of the family. Almost all the Pendletons of Virginia trace their descent to Henry Pendleton and Mary Taylor.
From Yesterday's Roots, Today's Branches by Pauline Pendleton Wall:
Henry, the eldest child, was born ca 1683, in Virginia. He married first Mary Taylor, daughter of James Taylor of Carlisle, England in 1701, in Caroline County, Virginia. He was only 18 years old at the time and she was 13. After Mary's death, he married Mary Gregory. As a coincidence, he died in the year 1721, the same year as his father, Philip, death and year his youngest son, Edmund, was born. His widow married second Ed Watkins. Then Mary Gregory Pendleton Watkins died in 1770. A number of his offspring, as well as some children of his brothers and sisters, were quite prestigious in life and the history of our country. The great majority of Pendleton in Virginia trace their ancestry through him and his first wife, Mary Taylor. The first and third sons, James and Nathaniel, were for many years clerks of the vestry and lay readers at the small chapels of St. Marks Parish of Virginia. James was still clerk in 1782 when the vestry books were closed. His youngest son, Edmund, without his father's care, made for himself a name which is known and will be remembered as long as Virginia's inhabitants read her history.
