I imagine if Byran Pendleton had not emigrated to Watertown and Sudbury in
1634...my daughters would never had looked so nice in their Pendleton wool
plaid pleated skirts they wore to school when kids! We would pile in my car
and
drive to NH (Manchester) to the Pendleton Mills Store and get them greatly
dis-
counted at factory prices! Wonderful product!

BYRAN (or Brain) PENDLETON came from England in 1634 and became a
freeman Sept. 3, 1634. He went to Sudbury from Watertown where he was a
grantee of ten lots of land which he sold when he left the place. He
was one of the prominent petitioners for a plantation at Sudbury, as his
name i on the town records as one of the foremost business men of the
place. He was early appointed to lead the "train band" and was one of
the early selectmen. A hill in the centre of the town still bears the
name of "Pendleton Hill". Mr. Pendelton did not live long in Sudbury,
but returned to Watertown, which he represented in the Colonial Court
for several years. About 1642 he moved to Portsmouth, of which he was
representative some years and from thence he went to Saco. At the close
of the Indian war of 1676, he returned to Portsmouth, where he died in
1681. leaving a will which was made August 9, 1677, and probated August
5, 1681.
