Occupation: Schoolmaster
Emigrated to America in 1674
Deputy Clerk of Rappahannock County, Virginia
"About the year 1674 Nathaniel Pendleton, a Minister, and Philip Pendleton, a school master, sons of Henry Pendleton of the City of Norwich, co. Norfolk, in England, came thence to Virginia in America ..." (Judge Edmund Pendleton, Family Chronology, 1792)


"It is unknown exactly where this burial yard is located or if it even exists. The Mattaponi Baptist Church in King and Queen County currently occupies the building that was once the Saint Stephens Parish Lower Church, but there was a disconnect after the American Revolution and the Baptist Church's history didn't begin until about 75 years later. There is now no known location for the Saint Stephens Parish Upper Church. The Mattaponi Baptist Church Cemetery has 3 markers from Colonial Times, but none of them are Pendleton surnames. It is impossible to know for sure where Philip Pendleton and his wife, Isabella Hurt, were buried, but putting them here in this cemetery seems like the best possible solution based on their family history. They could be placed in an "unknown cemetery".
