  BRIAN PENDLETON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1599-1910, Compiled by Everett HallPendleton, Privatley Printed MCMX, found in the DAR Library, Washington,DC. Page 1-77. He was old enough to witness a deed made by his uncle JamesPendleton on the 13th of June 1681 (York Deeds, III, folio 93). On the25th of May, 1671, Brian Pendleton executed a trust deed of Joshua Moodyand Richard Martin "For the Intyre affection that I beare my Grandson(now my adopted Sun) Pendleton Fletcher (I) have granted unto him all mynecke of Land on which I now lyue, as far as the Mill, together with twoislands, etc." (York Deeds, II, folio 97). Pendleton Fletcher was constable of Saco in 1681, and selectman in1685. In 1693 he was Lieutenant of a company of soldiers stationed at astrong stone fort built on the river bank at Saco Falls. The Journal ofJohn Pike notes that on the 7th of August 1607, "Pembleton" Fletcher withhis two sons w4ere taken by the Indians, and three soldiers of Saco fortwere slain as they were leaving Cow Island. One of the sons wasrecaptured with the slaughter of three or four of the savages (NH His.Soc. Col. Vol. III, p. 49). Pendleton Fletcher died in captivity,probably at Quebec, about 1698, and his widow administered his estate in1700. He and his wife Sarah Hill had seven children, born before 1690(Savage). One of his sons, Pendleton-4, Jr., was captured four times bythe Indians. He was a prominent citizen of Biddeford, Me., where he was aSelectman and Deputy to the General Court. He removed later to Arundel, Me., where he died in 1747.
