What do Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), Hubbard Pendleton (9) (c 1760 – c 1855) and Thomas Pendleton III (10) (1777-1845) have in common?
A. Both Hubbard and Thomas married great-granddaughters of JS Bach.
B. They all fathered 20 children.
C. They were all church organists.
-- ANSWER
“B. They all fathered 20 children.” Coincidentally, all three each had two wives.
As a side note, since I wrote this question in the middle of November, I have found another male relative who also fathered 20 children. His name was John Winchester (1783 – 1862.) He was a “cousin” of Dorcas Dodge who was the 2nd Great-grandmother of Roy Wellington Pendleton. My research into our collective past continues and I am currently working on the Dodge branch of the tree. So many leads, so little time!
