Peleg Pendleton, son of William Pendleton, was born in Westerly, R. I., February 12, 1732. He was a mariner, and was at the eastward often prior to the Revolutionary war. He came to Maine about 1782, and tradition says lived for a while on this island, and in 1783 removed to that part of Prospect now Searsport. He has now inany descendants here. It is safe to say that his sons who came here, and his grandsons, have all been master mariners, and the sails of their ships have whitened every sea known to commerce. Capt.
