65 Edmund-5, 3rd., b. 8 Jun, 1738. He was undoubtedly the EdmundPendleton of Stratford, Conn., who served as a private in Capt. IsaiahBaldwin's mounted company, Col. Andrew Burr's regiment, from Aug. 7th toAug. 23rd, 1757, at the time of the alarm for the reelief of Fort WilliamHenry and "adjacent vicinity." (Conn. Hist. Soc. Collections, Vol. ix, p.200; French & Indian War Rolls). While the record does not refer to himas Edmund, Jr., yet his father was nearly sixty years of age at this timeand would not have been likely to have undertaken such an expedition.
It is evident that Edmund-5 died unmarried, as the Porbate Recordsat Fairfield, Conn. (1764-1767, p. 137), show that on the 25th of Sept.1765, William Pendleton of Stratford was appointed administrator on theestate of Edmund Pembleton, late of Stratford, deceased, and gave bond.The accounting was not filed until 7th of Mar, 1792, when theadministrator submitted his statement showing that the estate in 1765amounted to 112.7.0 pounds, and in 1766 expenses to said estate were71.19.0 pounds. The balance was divided equally among the heirs, Solomon,Daniel, David, and William Pendleton, -- "D." Pendleton signing asexecutor to Solomon Pendleton, deceased, -- who certified over theirsignatures "that said Pendleton estate is settled as per this Acct.Current" (Ibid., 1787-1792, p. 595.)

68. David, b. 20 Feby., 1747; d. at Weston, Conn., 11 Feby., 1826.David Pendleton settled at Weston when a young man and lived there therest of his life except for the period during which he served in theRevolutionary Army. He was a private in Capt. Wheeler's Co., Col.Whiting's Regt. of Conn. Militia, which marched 5th Oct. 1777, tore-enforce Gen. Putnam on the Hudson. This regiment was at Peckskillduring October 1777. On the 1st of April 1778, David Pendleton enlistedfor the war (in the room of David Jackson), in Capt. Smith's Col., 8thRegt. Conn. Line. This regiment formed part of the Continental Army underWashington and saw much hard service. It would sem that David wasafterwards transferred in the 2nd Regt. Conn. Line, as his name appearson the size-rolls of Capt. Chapman's Co., that regiment, 1st Feby., 1783("Conn. in the Rebolution"). From the publication entitled "AmericanState Papers, Claims, Class 9," it appears that "David Pendleton ofConnecticut, a Private of the 2d regiment, enlisted April 1, 1778, forthe War, was wounded by a musket ball in his thigh and pensioned from May2, 1792."
David Pendleton is well remembered by his grand-nephew, EdmundPendleton, of New Haven, Conn., who as a boy often visited the oldRevolutionary. Mr. Pendleton states that David was wounded at the battlenear Ridgefield, Conn. (26th April, 1777), and that he always maintaineda great interest in all matters relating to the War of Independence,collecting quite a library bearing upon that subject.
David-5 never married and that he was a confirmed bachelor isimplied in the will of his brother, Solomon Pendleton (1786), whichrefers to him as ". . . My brother David being a single man and from hisdisposition not likely to be otherwise . . ." David's own will, dated 6thJune, 1820, filled 14th Feby., 1826 is of much value as it mentions thebrother, James, whose name does not elsewhere appear of record.

69. Solomon, b. 15 Feby., 1751; d. in New York City, 1787,unmarried. Solomon Pendleton lived at Derby, Conn., for a short time, ashe sold his land there near the Meeting House Hill to his brother,Daniel, then of Waterbury, on the 12th Dec., 1774 (Derby Land Records, x.55). He removed to Schenectady, NY, shortly afterwards, as upon theoutbreak of the Rebolutionary War he was commissioned, 20th Oct. 1775, as2nd Lieut. of the 2nd Co., 2nd Albany County Regt. Schenectady District(NY Calendar of Hist. Mss.). Prior to this he had been an enlisted man inthe 1st Regt. Albany Co., Militia ("New York in the Revolution") On the7th of Nov., 1775, he was commissioned 2nd Lieut. in the 4th New Yorkregiment, becoming 1st Lieut. in June 1776, and 1st Lieut. of the 7thCo., 5th NY Regt., 21st Nov. 1776 (Ibid).
Upon the reorganization of the state soldiery in 1777, Col. Cortlandin a letter to the Commissioner of Arrangement, dated 25th Feby., 1777,recommeded Solomon Pendleton for a commission as follows: "Give me lieveSr to recommend to your Notice Liut Solomon Pendleton who served in Col.Wynkoop's Regt. last year as there is no Vacancy for a first Lieut. in myRegt. he may perhaps be placed in some other." (NY Cal. of Hist. Mss.).He was accordingly commissioned 1st Lieut. of the 7th Col. 5th Battalion,{Regt.} New York Continentals in 1777, ranking as the ninth 1st Lieut. infive regiments raised in New YHork. In 1776 he had ranked as third 1stLieut. in the 4th Regt. (Ibid.)
In Oct 1777, the 5th New York was stationed at Fort Montgomery, andwas captured by the British in the disaster that befell the Americanforces there on the sixth of that month. Lieut. Pendleton remained aprisoner of war for over three years, part of which time he spent in theinfamous prisons of New York City. In Vol. 7 of the Penn. Magazine it isstated that Solomon Pendleton was among those on parole at New Utrecht in1778. His name was still borne upon the roster of his regiment in May1779, where it appears marked "Supernumery" ("NY in the Rev.). Lieut.Pendleton was not released from captivity until the 8th of Feby. 1781,when Abraham Skinner, Commissary-General of Prisoners, effected hisexchange (Saffell's "Records of the Revolutionary War." p. 322.).
Solomon did not return to the army. Immediately upon his release hewent to Philadelphia, Penn., where, as stated in Westcott's "Names ofPersons who took the oath of allegiance to the state of Penn. between theyears 1777 and 1789," "Solomon Pendleton belonging to the the state ofNew York, with a pass from Justice Van Tassel of Winchester, New Yorkstate," took the oath on the 20th of Feby. 1781. Not long afterwards hewent to Georgia, where, according to his grand-nephew, Edmund Pendleton,of New Haven, Conn., he became a surveyor of Government lands andreceived large grants for his services. At any rate, Solomon becamepossessed of considerable property in Chatham and Effingham Counties,that state, during the next few years. These tracts he bequeathed to hisfriends and brothers at the time of his death in New York City early in1787. His will, dated 23rd Dec. 1786, filed 3rd Feby., 1787, shows thathis parents were still alive and so establishes the identities of theEdmund Pendleton who died in 1765 and the other one who died in 1789.
An echo of Solomon Pendleton's war experience is found in the veryfirst bequest in this will, which reads; "And whereas I stand indebted toWillimpee Neepsa young woman in the State of New York for which she hasmy note of hand for forty pounds this currency given about four yearsago, this money I had of her when I was a prisoner on Long Island,wherefore my will is that she be paid sixty pounds sterling (money ofGeorgia) in compensation for her kindness when I was a prisoner and inwant of maney."

An Isaac Pendleton, soldier of the Revolution,is said to have been of Waterbury, Conn., in the History of that city.Daniel "enlisted from that place, and the name of "Isaac" has been"handed down" among the descendants of Edmund who have been noteworthy inthat practice.
