Abstract: Heirs Edmund Pendleton, Caleb Pendleton, William Walker and Nicholas Cottrill, all stated to be grandchildren of Brian Pendleton. In a 1674 deed, the grandfather, Brian Pendleton left them a tract of land in Westerly, R.I. Heirs have divided the land in this agreement into 7 parts. Eleazer Brown as the 3rd lot, which includes the house that was Capt. Pendleton's. Eleazer Brown got the land in a joint agreement involving the heirs of Capt. James Pendleton, in which he paid money to Nicholas Cottrill and William Walker (as he was instructed to do in the will of Capt. James Pendleton).
