Notes

"This 13 year old bride and 18 year old husband became the ancestors of a number of distinguished Americans. Of his five sons, the oldest, James, and the third, Nathaniel, were for many years Clerks of the Vestery and Lay readers at the small chapels of St. Mark's Parish; and Philip, the son of James, was Clerk in 1782, when the Vestery books closed. His two daughters married brothers, James and William Henry Gains. 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 every ready help is handed down through nearly every branch of the family. Almost all the Pendletons of Virginia trace their decent to Henry Pendleton and Mary Taylor. (Genealogical and Historical Notes on Culpeper County, VA)."
