In the fall of 1811, James FISH, his wife, two children, Mrs. STANTON, his wife's mother, and Moses FISH, his cousin, moved in an ox team to Ohio and stopped at Newburg. Brooklyn at this time was a wild forest full of the red man, the township had been surveyed and run into quarter sections by agents who lived in Connecticut. James and Moses FISH thought they would look at these lands. James selected a good piece and Moses selected a quarter section. James built a log cabin and his family moved into it, but becoming frightened by Indians, went back to Newburg. Other families coming, they moved again to Brooklyn. Moses wrote to his brother Ebenezer, in Connecticut, to come and take one-half his land, which he did. A road (now Denison avenue) was run from Newburg to Rockport, which divided the property of the FISHES. They built a log cabin, in which they lived till the war of 1812. Ebenezer enlisted for six months and came out with honors. Afterward Moses was drafted. His health being poor, Ebenezer took his place and served the remainder of the war. He went back to Connecticut, married Miss Johanna STANTON, a smart, worthy woman who, on hearing of his Ohio farm, proposed moving there. Accordingly in 1818, with their two children, Eliza and Emily (afterwards Mrs. CORBIN and Mrs. BOOTH), his two brothers, and their families came in a large wagon drawn by two yoke of oxen. They all built and lived in log cabins.

Two other children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ebenezer FISH, Johanna (now Mrs. FOWLS), and John Moses married Miss BRAINERD. They endured hardships and discomforts long before enjoying the ordinary pleasures of existence. Fever and ague also added to the trials of the first settlers. Ebenezer was ninety-three when he died.
----"Memorial To The Pioneer Women Of The Western Reserve"

Ebenezer and Moses Fish, who came with James from the East, settled upon 80 acres of land in Brooklyn, in 1812. Ebenezer located on the north side of what is now Denison Avenue and Moses on the south side. Neither was then married.

48. (Capt.) William-5 Pendleton (Col. William-4, Joseph-3), was bornat Westerly, RI, 11 Feb 1726/7, and died at Northport, Maine, 28 Aug 1820(Gravestone).
On the 3rd of March 1751, he received from his father a deed to landat Westerly; this transfer was not recorded until 26 Mar 1760, and isentered on page 354 of Book 9, Westerly Land Evidence. On the 24th ofMarch in the year he transferred this land with "mansion house" to hisbrother Amos for 2000 pounds. William-5 was then of Stonington, Conn.,and this deed was also signed by his wife Judith. William Pendleton hadbeen admitted freeman at Westerly, 1 May 1753 (RI Col. Rec., iv, Sup.43), but subsequently removed to Stonington, where he began buying land27 June 1761, making successive purchases until 28 Feby. 1767, when hebought of Joseph Champlin 94 acres for 242 pounds. Some of his propertywas at Long Point. He was elected surveyor of highways at Stonington, 18Dec 1760 ("Town Votes," ii, 218).
Tradition says that William Pendleton owned a schooner and traded tothe coast of Maine, and the History of Islesboro [p.10] says he camethere in 1769, taking up 600 acres at the extreme southern end of theIsland, upon which he soon settled his family. William sold his lasttract of land and his house at Stonington to John Hillard, 11 Jan 1769.Previous to this he had sold to William Morgan for 612 pounds, 10s.,about 85 acres at Long Point, Stonington, 3 March 1767 (StoningtonDeeds).
Islesboro, then known as Long Island, was claimed by Isaac Winslowof Boston, as a part of his wife's inheritance in the "Waldo Patent," andin 1771 William Pendleton secured from him a lease.

Amos Pendleton, who was one of the longest lived men in the family,spent nearly all his ninety-three years in his native town except forwhat time he was away at sea. Dennison's "Westerly & Its Witnesses"speaks of him as a master mariner, and he is generally referred to as"Capt." Amos in the Westerly records. Yet in the deed given him byWilliam and Judith Pendleton of Stonington, to a mansion house and landat Westerly, on the 24th of March, 1760, he is called "Blacksmith". andhe may have followed this occupation first. For this property Amos paid2000 pounds. (Westerly Land E., ix, 355).
As befitted a son of Col. William Pendleton, he took an active partin the affairs of the town, serving as one of its councilmen from 1784 to1792, besides holding minor offices. In May, 1765, he was appointedLieutenant of the First Westerly Co., King's County Regt., and wasre-appointed in 1766 (RI Civil & Mil. App'tments). The Rhode IslandCensus for 1774 shows that Amos Pendleton was the woner of two slaves inthat year.
On the 30th of May, 1774, the Town Council "Voted that Capt. AmosPendleton have an order on the Town Treasurer for 6/8 for 40 quarts ofmilk for the sick in the Small Pox [hospital] (Westerly C. & P. Rec., iv.241).
In the Supplement to "New York in the Revolution" it is stated thatAmos Pendleton was one of the refugees from Long Island to Connecticut.It would not appear, however, that he had removed to Long Island, as allhis children born during the Revolutionary War had Westerly as theirbirth-place. It is more likely that Amos as captain of a vessel, assistedthe refugees to leave the island.
On the 18th of Sept., 1776, he was the sixty-fifth signer of the"Resistance Act" drawned up at Westerly on that day by tested theirloyalty to the Continental government. Just what services Amos performedin the Revolution cannot be determined absolutely, owing to the fact thatthe records do not distinguish between him and his son, Amos, Jr., exceptonce, all other accounts referring merely to "Amos Pendleton." It wasprobably Amos, Sr., however, who was one of the "Alarm Men" of Westerly,Edward Bliven, Captain, drawn for three months on the 16th of Jan. 1777,to serve the third month (Westerly "Town Meetings," iii, 160), as thesewere the older men of the town who did guard duty while the younger oneswere away at the war.

Up to the time Peleg Pendleton was fifty years old he made his homeat Westerly, RI. In 1757 he paid a tax there of 4s 7d. Early in life hebegan going to sea, and on the 4th of Oct. 1762, he bought with JamesBabcock for 6000 pounds "old tenor" (present value about $1.25 a pound),the 36-ton schooner, "Dalphin." In this vessel Peleg had a quarter shareand Babcock the balance (Westerly Records, x, 485).
During the smallpox epidemic in Westerly in 1774, it was voted bythe Town Council on the 28th of March of that year, "That Capt. PelegPendleton have an order on the town treasurer for 3 pounds, 12s, 8 1/2d,for his services in sending the nurses and getting the necessaries forthe people in the smallpox [hospital]". (C.& P. Rec., iv. 237).
On the first of May, 1775, Peleg was given a deed to 250 acres ofland in the township of Frankfort, Hancock Co., Province of Maine andstate of Massachusetts. Not long afterwards he made a clearing there andleft his son, Peleg, Jr., in charge of the property while he returned toRhode Island for the rest of his family. In the meantime the battle ofBunker Hill and the siege of Boston had shown the colonist that thedifference between them and the mother country could only be settled byprolonged war, and Peleg, believing that his family would be safest inWesterly, decided to remain there until the struggle was ended.
He had early opportunity to show his allegiance to the newgovernment the colonies had formed, subscribing his name as thesixty-fouth signer to the "Test Act" circulated at Westerly in 1776. Onthe 3rd of June, 1777, he was elected Lieutenant of Capt. James Babcock'sWesterly Train of Artillery. Between Nov. 6 and Dec. 6, 1777, he servedas a private in Capt. Edward Bliven's detachment from Col. Joseph Noyes'regt. militia (RI Military Returns). No futher record of him appears atWesterly save that on the 17th of Sept. 1781, he witnessed the will ofhis old associate, James Babcock.
Upon the colse of the Revolutionary War, Peleg Pendleton with allhis family, except the oldest daughter, removed to Maine and settled uponthe estate he had bought eight years before. He found that the log-househe had built there had fallen to pieces, and no trace of his son, Peleg,Jr., was to be found. What became of him has always remained a mystery.
Lient. Pendleton spent the rest of his life upon this farm. On the16 May 1789, he was a petitioner with his son, William and others, fromthe plantation of Frankfort, asking that the Mass. Legislatureincorporate that plantation into a township to be called Knoxburgh. Theirnames also appear in the later petition, 20 Nov 1789, praying forincorporation into a township to be known as Knoxbury. On 24 Feb 1794,Peleg's property came within the bounds of the township of Prospect,organized on that day, and a still later division, 13 Feb 1845, broughtit into the present town of Searsport. In the meantime, Maine, which hadbeen a District, or Province of Mass. ever since Brian Pendleton's time,was set off as a separate state in 1820, and Hancock Co., was divided 7Feb 1827, the western portion, in which lay Frankfort, forming part ofthe new county of Waldo. The reader should keep in mind these variousdivisions and changes when noting hereafter the birth-places, etc., ofPeleg's descendants, for to save repeating these facts so many times weshall generally refer to all of these events as having occurred atSearsport, Maine.

53. Benjamin-5 Pendleton, was born at Westerly, RI, 18 Sept 1738,and died there 29 Dec 1824. Like many of the early Pendletons atWesterly, he went to sea as a young man, and in time became a mastermariner. There are few references to him upon the town records, and wesujppose he led the quite life of the average citizen, participating inthe town meetings but not seeking office for himself. In one item thatdoes mention him, however, in 1764, we have a glimpse of one of the galaoccasions of the olden time, when it was "Voted that Benjamin Pendletonhave liberty to sell Strong Liquor on the Day Mr. George SheffieldLaunches his vessel that is now on the Stocks" (West. C & P Rec. iv.)
The Westerly tax List of 1757 shows that he was assessed twoshillings in that year, although he was under age. Benjamin Pendletonplayed an active part in the Revolutionary War, as shown by the followingrecords:
"On the 30th of Aug., 1775, the tender of the British ship of War"Rose" Capt. Wallace, pursued a small American craft to the warf atStonington. Capt. Benjamin Pendleton was there and with other brave mendrove the tender off. The "Rose" then cannonaded Stonington, wounding oneman but killing none" (Westerly and Its Witnesses:). The "HIstory ofStonington" (p. 39) gives a slightly different version of this affair.Wheeler's account says the British had demanded the surrender of a vesselload of cattle which had just been landed there, and upon the refusal ofthis demand the tender of the warship sent to seize the cattle, but wasfired upon and driven off, after which the bombardment took place. Thismay have been the basis of the tradition related by Hadlai F. Pendletonof Norwich, NY, to the effect that the British vessel once pursuedBenjamin Pendleton's sloop, and when he took refuge in a small creek, twoboat loads of sailors were sent to effect his capture. His crew made offhastily, but Benjamin and his son David, then age 12 (which would putthis incident seven years after the other one), remained aboard,concealing themselves. Benjamin loaded his two muskets nearly to themuzzle, and when the boats were close by, he fired twice upon them,killing and wounding a large munber of the assailants, a bloody repulseto the attempted cutting out expedition.
In 1776, Benjamin Pendleton was enrolled as a private in Capt.Joseph Pendleton's Company of Westerly Militia (RI Rec.) On the 18th ofSeptember in that year, he was the 68th loyal citizen of Westerly to signthe "Test Act," pledging allegiance to the new State government (Westerly"Town Meetings," iii, 155).
In April 1779 his sloop "Louis," laden with corn, was scezed by theauthorities at Hartford, Conn., through fear that it was destined for theBritish, but was released upon evidence being shown that the cargo wasfor the people of Stonington (Conn. Col. Rec.). On the 14th of October,1781, he was enlisted as a private in Capt. Allin's Company, Col.Christopher Smith's Regiment, and was discharged the next day (RI Rev.Rec.). In 1779 he subscribed 14 pounds to the Continental Loan Office tohelp make up the deficiency of the amount to be raised at Westerly underAct of the General Assembly, September 1779 (Westerly "Town Meetings,"iv, 5).
Benjamin's most notable achievement in the Revolution was thecapture of a British privateer, the following account of which is fromDenison's "Westerly and Its Witnesses"; "During the Revolution, Capt.Joseph Dodge of Westerly owned and commanded a vessel named the"Lucretia" In his patriotic zeal, he transformed her into a privateer.Securing a suitable armament and accepting Benjamin Pendleton as Lieut.and Smith Murphy as gunner, he was ready to put to sea, but was takensick. No time could be lost. Lieut. Pendleton accepted the command andthe "lucretia" turned her prow to the ocean. Near Block Island she fellin with an English privateer, the "Huffa" and brought her intoStonington."
Another undertaking in which Benjamin was engaged appears in the"New York Calendar of Historical Mss." {Vol. I, p. 615}, and is asfollows:
"State of New York to Dann Collins, Dr." {1777}.
"To go from Say Harbour to East Hampton with John Minor and BenjaminPendleton of Connecticut & Abraham Loper, a Soldier in Captain Davis'Company and taking from Coll. Gardner's House 130 Fire Arms BayonetsCatneh Boxes & 3 Silver Headed Swords, and taking from Coll Mulford's 3Casks of Power & 2 Boxes of Lead all which we brought to Sag Harbour puton Board a Vessel Loaded at Sea Brook & Delivered to Coll Livingston.

The descendants of Benjamin Pendleton are quite numerous and arescattered all over the United States. His sons -- except the youngest --were master mariners, as were many of his grandsons also. The latergenerations have followed very diverse occupations.
Benjamin Pendleton married at Westerly, RI, 9 Feb 1763, LoisBurdick, daughter of David and Mary (Thompson) Burdick. She was born atWesterly, 1 April 1738.

55. (Capt.) Joshua-5 Pendleton, was born at Westerly, RI, 6 May1744, and died there while on a visit, 9 April 1824. He married atWesterly, 6 Jan 1768, Anna (Nancy) Clarke, daughter of Elisha and Mary(Potter) Clarke. She was born 7 Oct 1717, and died 17 June 1740, atNorwich, Conn.
Joshua Pendleton was a master mariner in early life, and retiredfrom the sea when he was about fifty years of age. Up to that time hemake his home at Westerly, RI, where he was more active in military thanin civil affairs. The Rhode Island records show that he was appointedEnsign of the 1st Company Militia at Westerly in August, 1774,re-appointed, June, 1775, commissioned Lieutenant, 31 Oct, 1775, and1776, Captain, May, 1777, and received subsequent appointments as Captainup to Feb. 1780, Joshua Pendleton served as Captain in Col. Noyes'Regiment, and received payment for "Provisions found" from 25 July to 1August 1778.
His name does not appear often in the Council and Probate Records atWesterly, but on the 29th of March 1784, Capt. Joshua Pendleton andWilliam Babcock, Esq., were appointed to set a value of the rent ofThompson's farm. About 1795 he removed to Norwich, Conn. where he boughta farm on the Bozrah line and lived there the rest of his life. Most ofthis farm lay in Bozrah, but his house was on the Norwich side of theboundary. The record of his death upon the Norwich records refers to himas "Deacon" a poisiton he held for many years at the First Church of thattown. His will, dated at Norwich, 30 Dec 1813, filed 5 May 1824 (NorwichProb. Rec., xiii, 372; see Appendix VIII), names wife Anna, sons Joshua,William, Elisha C., and Adam; Daughters Nancy Rogers, Patty Palmer, LucyLathrop, Clarissa Harlowe Adams, Polly Bennett, and Lydia Bennett;grnadson, Joseph Pendleton. In the naming of a daughter "ClarissaHarlowe." it would appear that the literature of his day was not unknownto Deacon Joshua.
The descendants of Capt. Joshua Pendleton are more numerous throughhis daughters than through his sons. Those bearing the name Pendletonhave been mostly farmers with a sprinkling of business and professionalmen. Most of them are now located in Connecticut, New York and Colorado,with a few in Michigan, California and otgher states. Several of themhave been membhers of state legislatures.
