  Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 6th ed., 1887, Trimble Co.
  ROBERT H. PENDLETON is a native of the Old Dominion, and was born near Lynchburg, August 12, 1802, the second of nine children born to Isaac and Nancy (Hardwick) Pendleton. He was brought to Kentucky in 1806, to Garrard County; was reared on a farm, and educated in the common schools. He began life a poor boy, and previous to the Civil War was quite wealthy, but that struggle deprived him of by far the greater portion of his wealth. He still owns, however, 110 acres of fine land, well improved, on the Ohio River, near Milton, and is engaged in farming and stock raising. He married in 1827, Miss Sarah Peak, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Forts) Peak. To this union six children were born, three of whom are living: Christopher, Elizabeth, John R. and William A., Nancy and Robert. John R. served in the Civil War on the Confederate side, and was killed at Mt. Sterling in 1865. Mr. Pendleton and family are members of the Christian Church. Politically he is a Democrat.
