Here's a new feature I'm going to try: a monthly question about our family history. I'll post a new question each month and then post the answer the following month. Let me know what you think! If you'd like to submit a question, feel free to send it to me. Here's the first question:
From the time Brian Pendleton arrived in America in the early 1600's up until the middle of the 19th century, many of the Pendletons were involved in maritime activities - shipping, fishing and whaling. During that period, how many of our relatives were "lost at sea"?
a) 25 or fewer
b) More than 25, but fewer than 50
c) 50 or more
Check back next month for the answer!
--ANSWER
“C. More than 50.” Everett Hall Pendleton in his book, Brian Pendleton and His Descendants, cites at least 72 incidents of family members (including spouses) being “lost at sea.” He also notes another 37 relatives who drowned. Sorry I started this feature out on a depressing note.
