PFWW Other Articles: Dr. Henry Pemberton & Sir Isaac Newton Dr. Henry Pemberton & Benjamin Franklin St. John s Parish Pembertons: Virginia & Barbados Jeremiah Pemberton, American Loyalist Pemberton Pedigrees Book Republishing Featured Member: Christopher Pemberton Appendix: Register Report for George M. Pemberton Register Report for George M. Pemberton By: Dixie Ann Pemberton With Family Tree Maker one can print a Register Report for anyone in their Family Tree File. I created two files, one for George IV, and another for George M. Pemberton, Sr. But it is in a PDF file, so for a fee, Adobe, Inc., made each into a Word document. These needed to be edited to remove living relatives that ask not to be included. Also, to remove addresses, many, no longer valid. Of the two, the one I selected for this issue of our PEMBERTON POST is that of George M. Pemberton, Sr., pictured here. My grandfather, Thomas Mason Pemberton (03 May Apr 1963) was the son of George M. Pemberton, Sr., and Sarah Ellen Pemberton. Sarah was the first cousin once removed, of George M. Pemberton, Sr. She was the granddaughter of George Pemberton IV, and he was a brother to Jesse B. Pemberton, George M. Pemberton, Sr. s father. He is the one who began in 1843 to write about his life. Different years, he used different inks, some blue and badly faded, and difficult to read. These folios are bound in leather, called THE SCRAPBOOK. This volume contains the Minutes of the Walnut Baptist Church from its founding. Another section is devoted to GMP s writings, and in a separate part, those of his son. One can also find things added by my grandparents: pasted obituaries, wedding announcements as well as hand prints of children. The entries are not sequential. But are interesting for what they do include. One is a section GMP entitled: History of our Relations. Another is GMP s memory of his Grandfather George Pemberton III ( ). In 1993 I began to research using the web and contacted Daniel Buckley, who had worked with Ernest Pemberton, on the origins of our Pemberton line. They, like Jackson Pemberton, descend from Isaiah Pemberton, and we, from George Pemberton, III, his brother. Both are the sons of George Pemberton, who emigrated to Virginia in Dan and I worked daily for three years to verify what THE SCRAPBOOK contained on genealogy. Dan and Ernie both were in contact with many others, and together, we made discoveries. We all concluded the History of our Relations section in the THE SCRAPBOOK was accurate for with Dan, nothing could be assumed. He had to have facts. The PFWW is indebted to his widow Dannie Patricia Little Buckley, who has graciously made access to Daniel s genealogy research available. The full text of the Register Report for George M. Pemberton is published below as an appendix to this Pemberton Post. It is also being published simultaneously on the PFWW website here Dr. Henry Pemberton & Sir Isaac Newton Pemberton, Henry ( ), physician and mathematician, was born in London, the third son of Edward Pemberton and his wife, Elizabeth. Henry's father, a wealthy fruiterer, intended his son to become a physician; it was mathematics, though, which became his serious avocation. He also made contributions to the appreciation of contemporary poetry, and cultivated a degree of musical appreciation. Pemberton's delicate health caused him to be sent to a country grammar school in Guildford,

2 Surrey, where he first felt an attraction to mathematics. Having returned to London, he read classics with John Ward (later professor of rhetoric at Gresham College), but also devoted much time to the study of Apollonius of Perga's Conics. Despite these inclinations to antique studies, he was set to study medicine, and followed a common route of the day to Leiden, where he came under the influence of Herman Boerhaave. Pemberton next went to Paris to improve his knowledge of anatomy. James Wilson, Pemberton's contemporary biographer, maintained that Pemberton's mechanical dexterity helped him to become competent in dissection and surgery. While in Paris, Pemberton formed several scientific friendships, some of which led to his acquiring, at a sale there, a portion of the library of the mathematician Abbé Galois. After returning to London, Pemberton attended St Thomas's Hospital to learn London physic, but never practised medicine regularly. In 1719 he again visited Leiden and graduated MD; by now he was a friend of Boerhaave, at whose house he lodged. In the same year Pemberton published Dissertatio de facultate oculi and On the Power whence the Eye may Discern Objects Distinctly at Distances; the latter was a work showing how certain results of Roger Cotes, hitherto found using ratios and logarithms, could be obtained using a circle and parabola. Pemberton became a fellow of the Royal Society in About the same time Pemberton showed to John Keill certain new mathematical solutions he had obtained. Keill brought them to Sir Isaac Newton's attention, but the latter declined to take notice of them, believing that Pemberton was then connected with the circulation of untruths about him. However, Pemberton came to be on intimate terms with Richard Mead, Newton's physician; he helped Mead to write the eighth edition of his treatise on the plague, and, in 1724, to edit W. Cowper's Myotomia reformata (on muscles). At this time an Italian, M. Poleni, produced a paper about the force generated by a moving body on impact, which Pemberton refuted as erroneous. Pemberton's treatment of the problem was passed to Newton and this, together with Newton's own refutation of Poleni's thesis, was published in the Philosophical Transactions in 1772 [Ed.: 1727?]. Intercourse between Newton and Pemberton thus became established and Pemberton was invited to superintend the editing of the third edition of the Principia mathematica, which appeared in Pemberton was then about thirty years old and was rightly flattered to get the opportunity to work so closely with the great eighty-year-old Newton. However, Newton often ignored Pemberton's editorial suggestions. Pemberton wrote A View of Sir Isaac Newton's Philosophy (1728), which he had partly read to the dying Newton. It made no great mark but could at least be recommended as being propaedeutic. In 1728 Pemberton was elected Gresham professor of physic, and his Scheme for a Course of Chymistry to be Performed at Gresham College appeared in A set of lectures based on his course was published in 1771 and a second set on physiology in 1779; in both cases the editor was James Wilson. Pemberton was said to have spent seven years ( ) preparing the fifth London Pharmacopoeia for the Royal College of Physicians, which edition proved he was well acquainted with pharmacy. It appeared in 1746 as Translation and Improvement of the London Dispensary, for which he was rewarded by 100 guineas and the gift of the volume's copyright. Pemberton also encouraged a number of younger scholars. These included the young scientist engineer Benjamin Robins, who was introduced to Pemberton on leaving school. Both Pemberton and Robins were also close friends of James Wilson. The poet Richard Glover also came under Pemberton's wing on leaving school. In 1738 he wrote Leonidas, an epic on which Pemberton made some acclaimed observations. Pemberton also wrote an Account of the Ancient Ode which prefaced Gilbert West's Translations of Pindar (1748). Wilson's preface to Pemberton's Course on Chemistry (1771) is a substantial, detailed biography of Pemberton by one who knew him extremely well, describing in it his character as delicate, pleasant, and cultured. Pemberton died in Cannon Street, London, on 9 March 1771, seemingly after a second attack of jaundice, and was buried in Bunhill Fields, London. He left a considerable fortune to Henry Mills, his niece's husband. Many articles written by Pemberton remained unpublished at his death, notably A short history of trigonometry. W.

3 [Ed. Note: This article was found in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, UK.] Dr. Henry Pemberton & Benjamin Franklin In Franklin, Benjamin ( ), The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin (p. 39). Public Domain Books. Kindle Edition, we read: My pamphlet by some means falling into the hands of one Lyons, a surgeon, author of a book entitled "The Infallibility of Human Judgment," it occasioned an acquaintance between us. He took great notice of me, called on me often to converse on those subjects, carried me to the Horns, a pale alehouse in ---- Lane, Cheapside, and introduced me to Dr. Mandeville, author of the "Fable of the Bees," who had a club there, of which he was the soul, being a most facetious, entertaining companion. Lyons, too, introduced me to Dr. Pemberton, at Batson's Coffee-house, who promis'd to give me an opportunity, some time or other, of seeing Sir Isaac Newton, of which I was extreamely desirous; but this never happened St. John s Parish Pembertons in the Virginia Colony and in Barbados By: Earnest L. Pemberton A review was made of documents obtained during visits to New Kent and King William Counties, Virginia in October, 1976 and a visit to Barbados in December, The objective of this review was to clarify the existence and location of St. John s Parish and to identify the St. John s Parish associated with John Pemberton and his son George Pemberton. This is not the George Pemberton identified by Dixie Ann Pemberton in her A Pemberton Family Scrapbook which she wrote in The Pemberton Post dated July 9, A summary of this review is as follows: 1. A St. John s Parish existed in both New Kent County, Virginia and in the Barbados. a. The St. John s Parish In New Kent County was formed in 1680 within the Pamunkey Neck of Virginia as identified in the pamphlet, Historical Sketch of New Kent County, Virginia published in 1954 for the 300th Anniversary Celebration. b. The St. John s Parish in Barbados was carved out of St. Michael in as stated in a Google search. 2. The book edited by John Camden Hotten, Emigrants to America , on page 508 identifies children baptized in Parish of St. John s in The Index shows page 508 as the only listing of a Pemberton in the book: August 9 John, sonne of James Pemberton August 28 William and Charles, sonns of Mr. James Pemberton a. Several pages preceding page 508 of the Hotten book gives information from Barbados. b. While on my trip to Barbados in December, 1982 a search of Census for 1679 showed the following: i. Baptisms: 1679, Parish of St. John August 9 John, sonne of James Pemberton August 28 William and Charles, sons of Mr. James Pemberton ii. Burials August 11 John, sonn of James Pemberton iii. Census Lists James Pemberton as having 17 negroes and 25 acres of land iv. Records of Army shows James Pemberton having drum and man. c. Based on the 1679 Barbados Census records which were identical to the data shown on page 508 of the Hotten book, the Hotten book data is most likely for the St. John s Parish in Barbados. 3. In my copy of the deed of January 20, 1702, Richard Littlepage of New Kent Couty, VA firmly made over to George Pemberton 184 acres of land in Pamunkey Neck now King William County. As indicated in the deed this was the land John Pemberton (deceased) and father of George Pemberton, had bought from Richard Littlepage Sr. from the estate of Samuel Austeen. a. I support an assumption found in my Dan Buckley files that the January 20, 1702 deed from Richard Littlepage to George Pemberton for the 184 acres of land bought by his father John Pemberton was made because George was a minor prior to that time. b. There were at least three John Pemberton s in Barbados during the period from 1701 to 1703;

4 (1) John the son of James Pemberton identified as son and executor in the will of James Pemberton in August 7, 1701, (2)John buried on May 29, 1705 as the son of Capt. John Pemberton, and (3)Capt. John Pemberton. c. It appears unlikely that a John Pemberton from Barbados would be the John Pemberton who bought 184 acres of land in King William County, Virginia from Richard Littlepage Sr. from the estate of Samuel Austeen Jeremiah Pemberton, American Loyalist By Stefan Bielinski: Jeremiah Pemberton was born in May He was the son of William and Sarah Drury Pemberton. He was christened at St. Peter's church where his parents were members. He grew up in a moderate sized family in the Southside home of a prominent riverman and British sympathizer. By 1776, he had married Susanna Bradt. Their son "Adam" was baptized at the Albany Dutch church on January first. Other children followed. Jeremiah had been named for his newcomer grandfather who married an Albany Bradt in According to later documents, at the beginning of the war he was living on a farm owned by his father. In September 1776, he voluntarily appeared before the Albany Committee, took the oath of allegience, signed the test, and was discharged. However, two months later, he was identified as "disaffected" and was ordered to be taken into custody and sent to the New York Convention under guard. At that time, he was identified as a Tory from the "Hellebergh" section of Rensselaerswyck. By then, his father had been confined and exiled from Albany. His status and whereabouts for the next year are unclear until October 1777 when General Burgoyne asked him to deliver a dispatch to General Clinton in the lower Hudson Valley. Having difficulty finding Clinton while avoiding detection, he went into hiding in the woods. He finally reached New York in March. Jeremiah Pemberton claimed he was twice a prisoner of war in New York and that he commanded a company in defense of the Bergen [New Jersey] blockhouse. He also claimed to be an ensign in "Jessup's Regiment of Loyal Americans. In October 1782, his name (with two women and three older children) appeared on a list of those who had arrived at Annapolis, Nova Scotia on a ship from New York. Afterwards, his Albany property is said to have been confiscated. At that time, Jeremiah was identified as a cordwainer. In March 1786, from Annapolis, Nova Scotia he submitted a claim for lost livestock and property. He stated that he was living in Nova Scotia, tried to improve land granted by "the King," but "never having been accustomed to labor, [his] prospects are deplorable." He stated that he had a wife and several children and that they were"in want." His claim was rejected by the British. However, in that year a Jeremiah Pemberton was one of the commissioners who were examining such claims. Nova Scotia Chief Justice Jeremiah Pemberton perhaps was different individual. Albany native and American Loyalist Jeremiah Pemberton died sometime thereafter. [Ed. Note: This article is reprinted with permission of Trevor Pemberton, a new member of the PFWW.

I was talking to my dad Melvin Poundstone, he was called Buddy as a child. He remembers going to AZ when he was 15 yrs. old with his mother Hazel Dixie (Lively) Poundstone and remembers an Uncle Mason and Aunt Conn. His memory is not that good now, But he remembers maybe an aunt or cousin who was a nun stopping at Sacred Heart in Sedalia. He later found out that she was married and he thought a school administrator. He remembers his gr-grandma Matilda "Carrie" Teague she was born in 1861 and died in 1957 while he was away in Korea. She was the daughter of George and Melissa s son Thomas Fitzhugh and Sarah(?) Do you know who Angeline May Daughter of D&L? She is buried near Dixie Elsea and she died May, 1868? Dixie Ann Pemberton Hello, Rhonda: Isn't this internet grand! How nice to meet you. The more cousins, the better life seems...dan is doing a great coordinating.. You must still be in Pettis County. At the library, look in Pettis County History, 1882 and Those are two volumes we have out here and belong to my older brother, the first born. Both books have a lot of our early history. George M., Sr. married two sisters, Melissa and Sarah, sisters and granddaughters of his Uncle George IVth. The IV was brother to Jesse B. Pemberton (George M. Sr.'s father) and the two, sons of George III ( ). His father George II left Cheshire, England for King Wm parish in His father was George Pemberton I. (The numbers I use to keep the Georges straight in my mind.) My grandfather Thomas Mason Pemberton was a son of George M. Sr. and Sarah. Their other son died single in His two sisters were Dixie and Carrie. Dixie and Thomas married another brother and sister, Emma and Fred Elsea. Emma and her child died in the 3rd year of their marriage. Thomas Mason married my grandmother some years later. His other sister was Matilda C., called Carrie, who married J.H. Teague. My paternal grands followed my father west in the late 1920s. Here in AZ were Constance's brothers and sisters with families were established by the time they arrived. Some children of George M, SR and George IV moved to Texas, Colorado, Montana, at least those are the places from which my grandparents have newspaper clippings on family relatives they kept in touch with...
