EV. COLEMAN PENDLETON was born in Virginia, and became associated with James O'Kelly, William Moore, and Clement Nance. They attended together a General Meeting or Conference at Shiloh meeting house in Halifax county, Virginia, in 1805. At this Conference meeting he served on the presbytery, which ordained Rev. Thomas E. Jeter. Young Jeter was converted under the preaching of Mr. O'Kelly, and was associated with Rev. William Dameron and Rice Haggard up to the time of his ordination.

      Rev. Mr. Pendleton, who was doubtless named for the Rev. Mr. Coleman, the parish minister, was of the celebrated family, whose descendants had formerly lived in Caroline and Culpepper counties. He, no doubt, had imbibed his ideas of liberty from his celebrated ancestor. [54]
