Son of John and Irene Wood Pember. John Married Lucretia Bill at Columbia Connecticut on November 24, 1774. John enlisted Jan 20, 1776 at Norwich Connecticut as a Sergeant in Capt. Benjamin Throop's company in Col. Charles Burrall's regiment of Connecticut troop's under Major General Philip Schuyler during the revolutionary war. This company served in the Northern department at Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Chambly, St. John, Montreal, The Cedars, and Lake Champlain. Sergeant Pember discharged from service in January of 1777. He is the father of Lorinda, John, Clarissa, Frederic, Milton, Sophia, Betsey, Joseph, Harvey, and Martha Pember.

* I spoke with a caretaker of this cemetery in 2006 that said there was no marker for John and Lucretia back in 1998 when they documented all the markers. According to Milton Pember (John's grandson) the tombstones for John and Lucretia were in bad shape already back in 1871. I have also personally searched this cemetery and there was no marker.
