Notes:

Martha Ellington Motley
Gave up her life for her country
Martha was the wife of Captain Joseph Motley of Amelia and Pittsylvania Counties, Virginia, and was murdered during the Revolution. She refused to divulge to a Tory raiding party the hiding place of supplies which Captain Motley had for the Continental Army, or the whereabouts of her husband.

Martha was alone in the "Old Place" except for servants and the little children at home. She was recuperating in bed from the recent birth of her eleventh child, Elizabeth. She was served by Rachel, a very extraordinary servant who is purported to have been an African Princess. This servant was kidnapped from the rice fields of her homeland by slave traders. The record also states that she spoke a different language from the other servants and wore beautiful flowers tattooed on her breasts. This servant later raised the children who were left orphaned when Martha was murdered.

Present that fateful day were four little girls, daughters of Martha and Joseph. Obedience was eight, Prudence was six, Sally was four and Delilah was two. They were under foot when the party of men on horseback arrived at the front gate to be greeted by Rachel. The spokesman of the group asked to see Captain Motley. When told he was not at home, they demanded to talk to Mrs Motley. Although informed by Rachel that Mrs Motley was ill in bed and could not be disturbed, on the insistence of one of the men, the servant allowed them into the house. Later Rachel disclosed that she recognized one of the men as a neighbor of the Motleys. The party of men hurried past Rachel and the little girls and barged up the stairs to Martha's room. In the excitement of a child's fancy, Obedience ran to see what this was all about, and was present when the neighbor and 'friend' demanded to know where her father and brothers were and where the provisions were kept. She heard her mother refuse to give them any information and saw them take the arm of her mother and (despite Martha's struggles and cries) pierce her arm with a knife and leave her faint and unconscious.

Of the little girls there that day, the baby-in-arms, Elizabeth, lived to adulthood and married Floyd Tanner. Delilah married Benjamin Terry; Sally married Francis Anderson; Prudence married Joshua Stone. They all lived in Pittsylvania County. Obedience married John Morehead of Rockingham County, North Carolina in 1790.

In 1716 Joseph Jr of Gloucester VA married Elizabeth Forrest and they had nine children. Joseph acquired land in 1737, 1741, 1745, and by 1763 he owned 3750 acres in Amelia County. The property was situated on Route 616, known as Genito Rd. Today the Amelia and Nottoway County line divides the property. Joseph Jr lived in Amelia County VA until sometime before 1785 when he moved to Pittsylvania County Virginia. He was a surveyor who, with his son Joel, was part owner of Motley/Mottley and Baldwin Surveyors Co.



The family of Joseph Motley of Amelia County married into the Tanner, Vaughan, and Fowlkes families. In 1737 Joseph bought 400 acres on Little Creek of Flat Creek from Matthew Mayes. His wife was Elizabeth Forrest, the daughter of Abraham Forrest and Judith his wife. Abraham Forrest of Gloucester County arrived in Amelia County by 17 May 1750 when he bought 400 acres on the south side of Deep Creek from Robert Moody. He died in Amelia County (will dated 10 June 1757, recorded 22 Feb. 1759).
On 10 July 1745, Joseph obtained a patent for 1,083 acres in Amelia County on both sides of Flat Creek and he got 390 acres of neighboring land on 20 March 1745/6. On 25 June 1747, Joseph renewed his 1,083-acre patent and acquired 300 more acres that belonged to Thomas Tanner in 1742. Motley's land was partly in Nottoway County when they created it and the ancestral home fell just south of the county line. The Motley family occupied the home from 1737 until 1908.
Joseph and Elizabeth were the parents of the ten children. Joseph died in Amelia County (will dated 2 Nov. 1763, recorded 27 Aug. 1777) as did his wife.



Joseph came to Amelia Co., Va. about 1737. His will was probated 27 Aug 1777 in Amelia Co., Va. He md Elizabeth Forrest of Gloucester Co., Va. (dau of Judith & Abraham Forrest) and she died in Amelia Co., Va.

~ Sarah (Sally) Tucker (b: 5-10-1725; d: 1783).
______________________________________________
"Martha Ann Tucker's FATHER's LINEAGE:

(Please Note: This was particularly tedious to do because this family named most of their children "John, Robert, Daniel, William, & Sarah (Sally)" which complicated the search for Martha Ann's father's direct line! There were "multiple" generations of brothers who did this!)
------------------------------------------------
~~ Her 4-GREAT's-GRANDFATHER = "John Tucker I".
He was born in 1520 @ Mortenhamstead, Devon, England. He died in 1547 @ London, England.
~He married "Jane ?".
~They had 3 Sons:
Richard, John Jr. or II, & William.
John I died, & Jane then married Ralph Hamor, Sr. So, Jane & Ralph Hamor, Sr. finished raising the 3 sons of John I & had children of their own.
-------------------------------------------------
~~ Her 3-GREAT's-GRANDFATHER = "John Tucker Jr. or II".
~He married "Alice Pelham" on 3-8-1580 @ St. Clement Eastcheap, London, England.
~They had 7 Children:
Ann, John, Thomas, William, Alice, Robert, & Susanna.
John II was an investor in The Virginia Co. which was established by King James I to establish colonial settlements in North America.
* John II's half-brother, Ralph Hamor, Jr., wrote the first book ever published on The Jamestown Colony in 1615. *
-------------------------------------------------
~~ Her GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER = "William Tucker (Captain)".
He was born @ Yorkshire, England in 1588 & died @ Elizabeth City, VA in 1644.
~He married "Mary Thompson". They arrived in VA on the Ship ‘Mary & James'.
~They had a son named John Tucker @ Westmoreland Co., VA in 1626.

* Captain William was a participant in the politics & workings of Jamestown, VA. He had Dr. John Potts lace poison into the ceremonial drinks of the Indian chiefs @ a negotiation for peace in May of 1623. Chief Powhatan became ill from the poison while the other chief Opechancanough escaped; a total of approximately 200 Indians were killed that day. *
Captain William Tucker is listed as a "survivor of Jamestown".
--------------------------------------------------
~~ Her GREAT-GRANDFATHER = "John Tucker III" (III =we'll call him).
* He was "the first" of this Tucker line who was born in North America! *
He was born on 9-8-1626 @ Westmoreland Co., VA; he died on 5-5-1671.
~He married "Rose Allerton" on 10-26-1645 @ Westmoreland Co., VA.

~He married "Elizabeth Coleman" in 1676.
~They had 4 Children @ Charles City Co., VA:

~~ Her FATHER: "Robert Tucker, Jr. (Captain)".
He was born @ Charles City Co., VA in 1676; he died in 1750 @ Amelia Co., VA.
(He first married Elizabeth Parham, & they had 5 children.)

~ Following Elizabeth’s death, he then married "Martha Epes" on 5-8-1712.

~They had 4 CHILDREN who were all born @ Prince George Co., VA:
1. “Martha Ann Tucker” (m: David Ellington, Sr.); had 10 children.
2. Joseph Tucker (m: Prudence Wood); had 7 children.
3. Daniel Tucker (m: Elizabeth Clay); had 13 children.

____________________________________________________
Further TUCKER Connection to the ELLINGTON's:

~~ Martha Ann Tucker Ellington's Brother, "Joseph Tucker", made his will on 6-1-1793. Probate of his will was granted in court on 6-18-1798.
(Will Bk. 3, p. 123 of Prince Edward Co., VA).
*** His Sons, Joseph Tucker, Jr. & Wood Tucker, & "Daniel Ellington" are listed as his 3 Executors. "Sally Ellington, John Ellington, & Daniel Ellington” are also witnesses to his will. ***
____________________________________________________
“Martha Ann Tucker” MARRIED “David Ellington, Sr.” in 1735.
----------------------------------------------------
DAVID ELLINGTON, SR. was born in 1713 or 1718 @ Prince George Co., VA. This gets a little tricky as to his death; he "made his will" on 11-5-1773 @ Nottoway Parish, Amelia Co., VA. One account (of ‘many' varying accounts) said he died on 5-11-1774 which was the spring after he made the will in Nov. So, I tend to think he did die on 5-11-1774. HIS FATHER was "John Ellington, Jr. or IV" who arrived in 1712 (according to a NASA biography called "Ellington Field, a Short History") or in 1717 (according to Ancestry.com where a passenger list to Virginia showed a "John Ellington" arriving in 1717 "with father John" stated as 'another' John Ellington. They were listed as "appraiser & surveyor".) HIS MOTHER was "Sarah Sabrina Worsham". (There were many Worsham's in VA in the 1600-1700's, but which one was her line is unknown as-of-yet.)
----------------------------------------------------
MARTHA ANN & DAVID ELLINGTON, SR. had 10 Children who all lived to adulthood & prospered…quite a feat in the mid 1700's!

THEIR CHILDREN:
* = service during The Rev. War.
It seems these Ellington's "gave goods & supplies for the war effort" while the 1 son-in-law was a supply agent (Martha's husband) & the other son-in-law actually "fought in The Rev. War" (Obedience's husband).

1. Martha (1736--1780); m: Joseph Motley, III in 1750.
* "Martha Ellington Motley" = There are So Many stories about: how she protected the whereabouts of her husband, Capt. Motley, from the Tories; how she would not divulge to the Tories where the supplies were kept for The Rev. War effort; & how she was stabbed & left weak & unconscious by the raiding Tories; & some say she "died for her country".
I don't know. She was attempting to recover from the birth of her "11th. child @ age 44" when the Tories attacked her in her bed! The Rev. War ended in 1783; Martha died in 1780. She "could be" a true heroine of The Rev. War!

* "Joseph Motley III" served as a Captain under George Washington during The French & Indian War (1754-1763).
He was a "supply agent" for The Continental Army during The Rev. War (hence, the Tories wanting to know where the supplies were stored from Martha).
This is perhaps "why" most of the Ellington's "supplied goods & materials to The Continental Army" because of their brother-in-law Motley holding this particular position as supply agent.

2. Jeremiah (1737--1796); m: Frances (Fanny) Jones.
* Jeremiah Ellington supplied beef to The Continental Army during The Rev. War.

3. Lucy (1739--1802); m: Joel Tanner; lived in Wilkes Co., GA.

4. "DAVID, JR." (9-7-1741—1-2-1820); m: Jerusha Fowlkes in 1765; Jerusha died 6-28-1789; m: Jane Harrison on 1-6-1790.
David JR., Jerusha, & Jerusha's cousin John were "Separate Baptists". They petitioned Amelia Co., VA court to gather in the home of George Walton in 1768 to worship. DAVID JR. was a Baptist Minister in 1771 in Amelia Co. VA; he continued that from 1781-1791 in Lunenburg Co., VA.
-David married Jane Harrison in Prince Edward Co., VA on 1-6-1790. She was the daughter of William Harrison.
* "DAVID ELLINGTON, JR." [Patriotic Service, VA] according to "Soldiers & Patriots of GA" website.

5. Josiah (1743--1819); m: Mary Cunningham; m: Elizabeth Bruce.

6. Obedience (1745--1827); she died in Hancock, GA; m: Stephen Evans, Jr.;
there were 13 children from this marriage;
* "Stephen Evans, Jr." was a corporal in "The VA Militia" during The Rev. War.

7. Sarah (1750--1782); m: John Page.
Sarah married John Page. She was dead before 11-28-1782 when he married Elizabeth Wilkerson. John Page died in Lunenburg Co., VA in 1786 & identified "David Ellington Page" as a minor son in his will. Sarah's brother, David Ellington JR., witnessed Page's will.

8. Hezekiah, Sr. (2-23-1753—1793); m: Ridley Ann Bruce.
* "Hezekiah Ellington" provided beef & a gun to The Continental Army during The Rev. War.

9. Enoch Ward (1754--1826) m: Sarah Woodson in 1779; m: Judith Woodson (her sister) in 1780; m: Nancy Blankenship in 1816.

10. Stephen (1757--?); m: Frances Williams.
* "Stephen Ellington" provided beef to The Continental Army during The Rev. War.

*** DAVID SR.'s FATHER "John Ellington" lent a horse & also provided beef & bacon to The Continental Line during The Revolutionary War said one account. Then this: "Ellington, John: Service: VA Rank: Patriotic Service: Description: 'He rendered material aid.' This was according to Abercrombie & Slatten, VA Rev. Public Claims, Volume 1." *** This goes along with the "family story" that he supplied the soldiers with goods & animals.

Richard S. Forrest was born 1721/45 Nottoway Parish, Amelia, VA. He married Elizabeth Oliver.Richard Forrest may have died in Halifax, VA. Their known children are: Judith and Elizabeth.

Richard S. Forrest is the son of Abraham Forrest b.1675 in Nottoway Parish, Amelia, VA.

~ MARTHA EPES TUCKER ~
_________________________
"Martha Epes" was born about 1695 in Charles City Co., VA. She died in 1766 in Amelia Co., VA.
_________________________
MARTHA EPES knew widower, "Robert Tucker, Jr.". He was known as "Captain". (His 1st. wife was Elizabeth Parham, & they had 5 children.)

"Robert Tucker, Jr." was born in 1676 in Charles City Co., VA. He died in 1750 @ Amelia Co., VA. He made his will on 9-26-1744 which was probated on 5-18-1750.
----------------------
MARTHA EPES married CAPTAIN ROBERT TUCKER, JR. on 5-8-1712.

Their 4 CHILDREN who were all born @ Prince George Co., VA were:

~~ Martha Ann Tucker (b: 8-29-1719 or 9-29-1719; d: 5-9-1782);
m: David Ellington, Sr.; had 10 children.

~~ Joseph Tucker (b: 6-22-1722; d: 1798);
m: Prudence Wood; had 7 children.

~~ Daniel Tucker (b: Jan. 1724);
m: Elizabeth Clay; had 13 children.

~~ Sarah (Sally) Tucker (b: 5-10-1725; d: 1783);
m: John Jesse Clay; had 3 children.
_________________________
HER HUSBAND, CAPTAIN ROBERT TUCKER, JR.'s LINEAGE:

"Robert Tucker, Sr." (1652-1704)
+ Elizabeth Coleman

"Captain Robert Tucker, Jr." (1676-1750)
+ Elizabeth Parham
+ "Martha Epes" (1695-1766)
_________________________
There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that places "Martha Epes Tucker" within the "Physical Neighborhood" of the following landowners/surveyors who often witnessed deeds & wills of each other & married their neighbors.

~~ John, Daniel, William Sr., & William Jr. WORSHAM
William Sr.'s widow later married Col. Frances Epes II who was Frances III's dad.

~~ John ELLINGTON
His wife was Sarah Sabrina Worsham.
Their son, David, Sr., married the daughter of "Martha Epes Tucker" & Capt. Robert Tucker, Jr. = Martha Ann Tucker.

~~ John, Daniel, & Robert Sr. TUCKER
These men surveyed land & worked on bridge projects with the Worsham's & John Ellington.

~~ Captain Robert TUCKER, Jr.
After his wife died, he married "Martha Epes" who was 19 years younger than he.
His son, Joseph Tucker, had 3 Ellington's listed in his will as an executor (Daniel who was the son of JOHN) & 2 witnesses (Sally & JOHN).

~~ Frances EPES III
His wife was "Anne" Isham.
"Martha Epes Tucker" named her 1st. child "Martha ANN" where ANN was emphasized in her baptismal record. Anne Isham Epes died in 1718; it would have been a tribute to this deceased lady to have named Martha's first child (who was born the following year) in remembrance of her.
Frances Epes III's land also "joined" Capt. Robert Tucker, Jr.'s land. It would have been very convenient to marry-off Martha Epes (some relation to him) to his widowed neighbor!

These families were intertwined for decades within VA where they sold land to one another, witnessed deeds of one another, had their children marry into these neighboring landowners' families, surveyed land & built bridges with one another, & witnessed each others wills.

At-this-point, I'm not sure exactly which Epes Family that Martha descends from...she was married to a prominent member of the Tucker Family who was a generation older than she was when she married @ 19...she had to have had an older Epes relation which helped to facilitate her marriage to the neighbor of Frances Epes III, Captain Robert Tucker, Jr.

Pendleton is the name of a town in Lancashire, near Manchester England. In 1469 Thomas Pendleton was living in Lancashire, in which county he held lands; at the same time were two brothers William and Robert Pendleton, who were probably his sons.

GENEALOGIES OF VIRGINIA FAMILIES From Tyler's Quarterly Historial and Genealogical Magazine VOL II" by Indexed by Robert and Catherine Burns

THE BEGINNING OF THE VIRGINIA PENDLETONS
The name Pendleton seems to have been originally Pen-Huton, meaning top of the hill; the Pen-Eton and finally Pendleton. The name is from two Gaelic words, pendle adn dun, meaning summit or top and his tespectively.
The Pendletons were rooted in England 500 years before the name was transplanted in America. They emerged from the Crusades with a coat of arms for bravey, old English churches abound in baptismal records of the family, and around Pendleton, England, are tombs of many generations of them.

Siward Pendleton b c 1246 of Lancashire was one of the earliest recorded progenitors, the name appeared in public life during the regin of Henry VII (1485-1509). About 1580 George Pendleton of Manchester married Elizabeth Pettinglae for more go below. The same year, in the Assize Rolls of Lancashire, mention was made of Thomas de Parva Pendleton who was surty for Adm. Richard and Roger de Pendleton, sons of Matilda de Penelton, who was probabley the widow of Siward de Penelton. In 1332 Adam de Penholton paid taxes in Saford and Robert and Thomas de Penholton of Penholton paid taxes there. The town of Pendleton was portion of Saldfordborough.

Virginia, Prominent Families, Vol. 1-4; Volume IV; Chapter X The Pendleton Family

Three miles from Manchester, in Lancashire County, England, is the town of Pendleton, known as a portion of Salfordborough. Over the door of one of the inns swings the arms of the Pendleton family, exactly like those brought to America by the emigrant, Philip Pendleton. Some little distance off is the manor house, occupied still by a family of Pendletons, and around the old church are the tombs of departed Pendletons. Here we pause, feeling ourselves aliens in our father's house. Under that roof tree are the records that would carry us back along the line of English history until we found the ancestor whose bravery in the Crusades, won him the right to place upon his shield the silver pilgrim's shells, which form a distinctive feature of the coat-of-arms. The family evidently belonged to the English gentry, a purer and prouder distinction oftentimes than many of the titles which have changed hands and family names many times as they come down the avenue of ages.

The first name upon the Virginia record is that of George Pendleton, Esquire, of the town of Pendleton, Lancashire, England. His son was George Pendleton, who married, sometime in the fifteenth century, Elizabeth Pettingall, daughter of John Pettingall, Gentleman, of Norwich, Norfolk County. George Pendleton moved to Norwich, and was buried at St. Stephen's, Norwich, in 1613. His eldest son was Henry Pendleton, who married in 1605 Susan Carmyer, at St. Simeon and St. Jude's. He was buried on July 15, 1635, at St. Stephen's, Norwich. His third son was Henry Pendleton who married Elizabeth -. This gives four generations on English soil, carrying us from Pendleton near Manchester, to Norwich.

In 1613, Sir John Pettus and his brother Thomas Pettus both made wills, remembering their cousins, Henry and Susan Pendleton, of Norwich, leaving them property in that city. These gentlemen lived at Cristree, St. Edmund's, near Norwich. Thomas Pettus, the son of one of these men, was one of the early councilors of the Colony, and probably influenced his cousins to come to Virginia. The two sons of Henry and Elizabeth Pendleton came to Virginia in 1674, Philip, a young teacher, and Nathaniel, a minister of the Church of England. Nathaniel died very soon, leaving no children

The arms of Pendleton are taken from English records and are described as follows: Arms-Gules, an inescutcheon argent, between four escallops (or shells) or. Crest-On a chapeau gules, turned up ermine, a demi-dragon, wings expanded, or, holding an escallop (or shell) argent. Motto-Maneo Qualis Manebam

George Pendleton, Esq., born Bef. 1542 in Pendleton, Lancashire, England; died Deceased.George of Lancs ("of the community of Pendleton, Lancashire who flourished...1509-1547"

Could this be same George as above George Pendleton, born 1536 in Manchester, Lancaster, England. He was the son of Thomas Pendleton. He married Anne (Pendleton) 1557 in England?. Could George Pendleton father was Thomas Pendleton?

Could this be the children of George Pendleton and Anne (Pendleton) are: ?

1 William Pendleton.

2 Robert Pendleton.

3 Thomas Pendleton.

4 George Pendleton, born 1553; died 1603 in England; married Elizabeth Pettingale July 29, 1579 in St Peters Mancroft, Norwich, England.

The results of this search are printed in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 39 pp. 277-284. It is from this source and corroborative English records that the information now about to be set down on the English origins of the Pendleton Family is derived and here quoted.

"The name Pendleton seems to have been originally pen-Hulton, meaning top of the hill; then Pen-Elton and finally Pendleton. The name is from the Gaelic words, pendle and dun, meaning summit (or top) and hill respectively. In Lancashire the name appears as early as 1246 when Siward de Pendleton, deceased, was mentioned. The same year, in the Assize Rolls of Lancashire, mention was made of Thomas de Parva Pendleton who was surety for Adam, Richard and Roger de Pendleton, sons of Matilda de Pendleton, who was probably the widow of Siward de Pendleton (supra). In 1332 Adam de Pendleton paid taxes in Salford and Robert and Thomas de Penholton of Penholton paid taxes there. The town of Pendleton was a portion of Saldfordborough."

This shows that the Pendletons were first seated in the hills of Lancashire where the Pendleton coat of arms still hangs over an ancient inn. An old manor house occupied by Pendletons is near. Here also is an old Pendleton graveyard. Pendleton Township stretches across Pendle Hill and Pendle Forest. One hall called Malkin tower once stood on Pendle Hill. It was from this area that the Pendletons removed to Norwich, Norfolk County. Pendle Hill is an elevation of I, 831 feet lying about five miles south of Skipton and about thirty one miles west of Leeds. This configuration still bears the name, Pendle Hill. Pendleton community is still shown on good maps of England--just south of the city of Clitheroe.

A continuous line of descent can be traced from George Pendleton, Esq., Sr., of the community of Pendleton, Lancashire who flourished during the reign of Henry VIII (1509-1547). It was either this George Pendleton or his son George Pendleton who moved from Pendleton and settled in Norwich.

He was buried at St. Stephen's Norwich July 15,1635.

The latter died very soon, unmarried; he evidently held no clerical charge in the Colony, as his name has never been given among the lists of the clergy of that time. Philip returned to England about 1680; tradition says he married a lady of high social position, but she died, and he returned to the Colony, and in 1682 married Isabella Hurt (or Hert or Hart,) and from this marriage are descended all the Pendletons of Virginia. Philip was born in Norwich, England, in 1650, son of Henry Pendleton, 3rd son of Henry Pendleton, son and heir of George Pendleton, Gentleman, who married Elizabeth Pettingall dau. of John Pettingall, Gentleman of Norwich, Eng. George Pendleton moved from Manchester to Norwich in 1613. His son and heir, Henry, probably married Susan(???) because in Vol. 48 of the New England Hist. and Gen. Register, is found a copy of the will of Sir John Pettus, Knight, of Norwich, Jan. 1613, which says: "Appoint my cousin, Henry Pendleton, Supravisor of my estate." Also Thomas Pettus, of Caistree, St. Edmond's Norfolk, Oct. 1618. "To my Cousins, Henry Pendleton and Susan, his wife, annuity out of my houses &c. in Norwich." This family of Pettus is the same as the one in Va.

The Pendletons were originally from Manchester, where the name was well known, some of them being in public life as early as the reign of Henry VIII. The Coat of Arms used by the Pendletons of Norwich and by the emigrant, Philip, indicate by the presence of Escallop shells and by the Cardinal's chapeau, in the Crest, a connection with Crusader traditions. The New England Pendletons, descendants of Brian Pendleton, came from Lancaster, and show a different Coat of Arms.

Philip Pendleton is said to have settled in New Kent Co., but there is no record of the family on the Register of St. Peter's Parish; he probably lived always in the portion called afterwards Caroline county, the records of which were burnt during the war of '61-65. Most of his descendants settled in counties to the north of New Kent. He died in 1721, the same year his oldest son Henry died, and the same year his grandson, the eminent Judge Edmund Pendleton, was born. He had three sons and four daughters, two of his family married into the family of James Taylor, of Carlisle, Eng., and by other intermarriages, a close connection with the Taylor family has been preserved. Some of his descendants were among the founders of St Mark's Parish

Richard and Isabella Thomas both took out land in King and Queen and Spotsylvania counties in 1728. Richard Thomas died in 1748, and his widow, Isabella, went to live in Drysdale Parish, Caroline county. Their children are uncertain as to number and name.

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. Edward Watkins 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 neices, 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;

In 1682 he returned to the colony and married Isabella Hart, or Hurt. He is said to have lived in New Kent County, but the parish records of that county, which are very early and very full, do not contain the names of any Pendletons. It is more probable that he lived in King and Queen County, Va. He signed a deed in Essex County in 1677, and his son, Henry, signed one there in 1719, and is designated as being from King and Queen County, Va. Philip died in 1721, the same year his son Henry died, and the same year his illustrious grandson, Edmund Pendleton, was born. He was probably a man of quiet tastes and not progressive enough to build up a large estate, as many of his contemporaries did.

V John Pendleton, second son of the elder Philip (he who came from England), b. about 1691, and emigrated in company with his younger brother, Philip, to the County of Amherst, and settled on the eastern slope of the Tobacco Row Mountain.

He continued to reside in Amherst until his death, which occurred about the time of the Revolution (1775).

Gaines. Their daughter was Anne, whose second husband was Christopher Crigler, grandson of Jacob Crigler, of the Germanna Colonies, and name sake for Criglersville, VA (Madison County). When he died had five daughters and all of whom had married and had children

The record of his residence, with the names of some of his children, is lost. He probably lived in Caroline County, Va., because he is mentioned in the only record of that county not burned during the Civil War, as witness in a suit in 1768, and as having travelled 30 miles to attend Court. His wife is supposed to have been named Martha -, because of a deed of sale to his step father, Edward Watkyns, in Culpeper County, Va., signed by Philip Pendleton and his wife, Martha. He is said to have had fifteen children, five of whom were daughters, all married, according to the records of Judge Pendleton's bible. Of these five daughters:

Mary Pendleton. Married Col. Edward Waller, second clerk of Spottsylvania.

Jemima Pendleton. Married Richard Gaines, her first cousin.

Martha Pendleton. Married Massey Thomas, of Culpeper County, Va.

Nathaniel lived in Culpeper County, and was very active in the Parish of St. Mark's. Note: His will was probated on Sept 19,1793in Berkeley Co. A copy of it was filed in Deed Book YY,Page 94 Culpeper Co as part of an “indenture made, Sept 13, 1831 between William Pendleton, surviving executor of William Pendleton deceased and as such executor of the last will and testament of Nathaniel Pendleton, deceased of the County of Berkeley and State of Virginia, of the one part, and Francis Ferguson of the County of Culpeper --------- of the other part” It would seem from the foregoing that Nathaniel Pendleton died in Berkeley Co., probably while on a visit to his son William, who was then living in that county

He was in his 58th year at the beginning of the Revolutionary war. He held various offices of honour and trust in the Colony of Virginia, and in the Senate. He was appointed by a convention of delegates of the counties and corporations in the Colony of Virginia, at Richmond Town, on Monday, July 17, 1775, to sign a large issue of Treasury Notes. These notes were issued upon the credit of the colony, taxes and duties having been suspended to suit the distressed circumstances of the Colonists. The issue was about £350,000, and the ordinance read: "Of the notes to be so issued, 50,000 shall be of the denomination of one shilling, and shall be signed by John Pendleton, Jr., Gentleman, which notes last named shall be on the best paper." John Pendleton was appointed, by the Governor of Virginia, judge of her courts, at a time when they were composed of the leading men of the Colony.

Edmund Pendleton,(Henry, Philip), born September 09, 1721 in Caroline Co, VA; died October 23, 1803; married 1st Elizabeth Roy January 1740/41; she died the following Nov when she delivered a dead child. ; married 2nd Sarah Pollard June of 1743. There were no children. Sarah Pollard father was Joseph Pollard b 1701 d Dec 26, 1791 at the age of 90. Edmund told his family history in the Family Chronlogy on 1792. (Copied from John S. Pendleton's MS. of "Redwood," Culpeper County, Va., May 1st, 1868.)

The seven children of the first settlers started on a career of multiplication befitting a new country; so that, as late as 1803, if Judge Edmund Pendleton had been in the prime of life, and the most active man in Virginia, it would have been a very serious, if not an impossible, undertaking to have identified and recorded the names of half of them; whilst he was, in fact, a man of upwards of eighty years of age when he died. He had, for sixty years, without the intermission of a single year, been laboriously engaged in professional and official duties, usually of great importance. He was for the last twenty years of his life most painfully disabled for any physical activity, by reason of an accident which made him a cripple, and consigned him to crutches for life.

He was a posthumous child and when only a few years old his mother married again to Edward Watkins and he was deprived of the loving care of parents; nevertheless, he grew to be the greatest member of his family and one of the noblest patriots which Virginia has produced. In his youth he studied law with his cousin John Penn., the Signer of the of the Declaration of Independence.

Notes for EDMUND PENDLETON:

EDMUND PENDLETON.

Was the fifth son of Henry Pendleton and Mary Taylor. His father died before his birth. The following sketch of him is taken from Appleton's Encyclopedia of American Biography:

"Edmund Pendleton, statesman, was born in Caroline county, Va. 9th Sept., 1721. His grandfather, Philip, descended from Pendleton, of Manchester, Lancaster county, England, came from Norwich, Eng., to this country in 1674. Edmund began his career in the Clerk's office of Caroline county. He was licensed to practice law in 1744; became County Justice in 1751, and the following year was elected to the House of Burgesses. In 1764 was one of the Committee to memorialize the King. During the session of 1766, he gave the opinion `that the stamp act was void, for want of Constitutional authority in Parliament to pass it,' and voted in the affirmative on the resolution that the `act did not bind the inhabitants of Virginia.' He was one of the Committee of correspondence in 1763; County Lieutenant of Caroline in 1774. A member of the colonial convention, of the latter year, that was consequent on the Boston Port Bill, and was chosen by that body to the first Continental Congress. Accordingly, in company with George Washington, Peyton Randolph, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Harrison, and Richard Henry Lee, he attended in Philadelphia in 1774. As President of Virginia Convention, he was at the head of the government of the Colony from 1775 until the creation of the Virginia constitution in 1776, and was appointed President of the Committee of Safety in that year. In May, 1776, he presided again over the convention, and drew up the celebrated resolutions, by which the delegates from Virginia were instructed to propose a declaration of independence in Congress, using the words that were afterwards incorporated almost verbatim with the Declaration. As the leader of the Cavalier or Planter class, he was the opponent of Patrick Henry, and as leader of the Committee of Public Safety, he was active in the control of the military and naval operations, and of the foreign correspondence of Virginia. On the organization of the State Government, he was chosen Speaker of the House, and appointed, with Chancellor George Wythe and Thomas Jefferson, to revise the Colonial laws. In 1777, he was crippled for life by a fall from his horse; but the same year he was re-elected Speaker of the House of Burgesses, and President of the Court of Chancery. In 1779, he became President of the Court of Appeals, holding the office until his death. He presided over the State Convention, which ratified the Constitution of the United States in 1788. His masterly advocacy of the document gained him the encomium from Jefferson that `taken all in all, he was the ablest man in debate that I ever met with.' He received very large grants of land from the State, and having no children, was ever generous to his nieces and nephews, whose descendants still hold his memory in tender veneration. He married twice--1st. Elizabeth Roy, 2nd. Sarah Pollard. He died in 1803."

Date: 1721
Location: St. Mark's Parish
Comments: The first of the name of Pendleton who came to the Colony of Virginia to make their home (in 1674 ) were two young men, Philip Pendleton , a teacher, and Nathaniel , his brother, a clergyman. The latter died very soon, unmarried; he evidently held no clerical charge in the Colony, as his name has never been given among the lists of the clergy of that time. Philip returned to England about 1680 ; tradition says he married a lady of high social position, but she died, and he returned to the Colony, and in 1682 married Isabella Hurt (or Hert or Hart,) and from this marriage are descended all the Pendletons of Virginia . Philip was born in Norwich, England , in 1650 , son of Henry Pendleton , 3rd son of Henry Pendleton , son and heir of George Pendleton , Gentleman, who married Elizabeth Pettingall dau. of John Pettingall , Gentleman of Norwich, Eng. George Pendleton moved from Manchester to Norwich in 1613 . His son and heir, Henry , probably married Susan- because in Vol. 48 of the New England Hist. and Gen. Register, is found a copy of the will of Sir John Pettus , Knight, of Norwich , Jan. 1613 , which says: "Appoint my cousin, Henry Pendleton , Supravisor of my estate." Also Thomas Pettus , of Caistree, St. Edmond's Norfolk , Oct. 1618 . "To my Cousins, Henry Pendleton and Susan , his wife, annuity out of my houses &c. in Norwich ." This family of Pettus is the same as the one in Va. The Pendletons were originally from Manchester , where the name was well known, some of them being in public life as early as the reign of Henry VIII. The Coat of Arms used by the Pendletons of Norwich and by the emigrant, Philip , indicate by the presence of Escallop shells and by the Cardinal's chapeau, in the Crest, a connection with Crusader traditions. The New England Pendletons , descendants of Brian Pendleton , came from Lancaster , and show a different Coat of Arms. Philip Pendleton is said to have settled in New Kent Co. , but there is no record of the family on the Register of St. Peter's Parish ; he probably lived always in the portion called afterwards Caroline county , the records of which were burnt during the war of '61-65 . Most of his descendants settled in counties New Kent . He died in 1721 , the same year his oldest son Henry died, and the same year his grandson, the eminent Judge Edmund Pendleton , was born. He had three sons and four daughters, two of his family married into the family of James Taylor , of Carlisle, Eng. , and by other intermarriages, a close connection with the Taylor family has been preserved. Some of his descendants were among the founders of St. Mark's Parish .

Bishop William Meade in his Old Churches and Families of Virginia states
that the Awbrey family in Virginia was of Welsh extraction. He was active in
Northern Virginia when descendents of John and Henry Awbrey could still be
found (circa 1830). This origin is also stated by the Jamestowne Society.
The only gentle family in Wales with the name Awbrey was rooted in
