Ethan Pendleton was born at Westerly, R.I. 3 April 1777, and died at Norfolk, Conn., 20 Sept 1860. Shortly after his first marriage he removed to Brookfield, NY, where he lived about nine years. After his wife’s death he returned to his native place in January 1809, remaining there some five or six years, and then removing to Norfolk, Conn. Here he leased a farm which he bought two years later for $8550. It contained 500 acres and he added to it by successive purchases until he owned not less than 1000 acres, keeping from forty to sixty head of cattle, besides young stock, sheep, etc. Though rather small of stature, Ethan Pendleton was noted for the amount of work he could accomplish. Besides the farm he ran a saw mill and shop, where in addition to sawing lumber, he cut out from black oak timber great quantities of “clock plates”, as then were called, in which were placed the works of the wooden clocks of that time. Until 1850 he lived in the old house on his farm, and then built the fine large residence which still stands [1910]. Ethan Pendleton had four grandsons who served in the Civil War, and three of them were killed in battle. In his number of marriages he holds the record in the Pendleton family:
(1) Ruth Taylor, m at Stonington, 1795
(2) Esther Hinckley, m at Stonington, 1809
(3) Lucinda Hungerford, m at Winchester, Conn., April 1825
(4) Clarissa (Pinney) Miller, m at Norfolk, 30 Mar 1835, and
(5) Huldah Wright, m at New Marlboro, Mass., 23 Apr 1845
