Hi! My name is Dean Dannewitz, I live in Florida and I joined the list to seek help in tracking down what happened to my Great Great Grandfather Abraham Pendlebury and his family. They came from England on the ship "Echo" in 1842. I have unverified information that he married Elinor Fawcett in 1845 in Poughkeepsie and that a son George Henry Pendlebury was born in Poughkeepsie in 1848. The marriage was performed by a Rev. A. F. Palmer, church unknown. The 1850 census shows that his brother Jacob, sister Elizabeth, and sister Hannah, and sister Jane lived in Poughkeepsie but there is no sign of his parents, John Pendlebury and Alice Pendlebury, or his sister Alice or sister Mary. I would like to find where they all died and where they are buried with the hope that it will lead me to find where my Great Grandfather is also buried. After fathering two children with Elinor Pendlebury, she ended up moving to Wisconsin with the Fawcett family and divorcing Abraham. Abraham disappeared until he enlisted in the Union Army in 1863 in New York and was almost immediately discharged as disabled because of severe consumption. In 1866-67 he was a patient at Tewksbury State Hospital in Massachusetts, but he was discharge after a short stay. I cannot find him in Massachusetts, so my suspicion is that he returned to his relatives in Poughkeepsie. I am retired and unable to travel. I ask that someone familiar with the Poughkeepsie area and records advise me on how to search for what happened to the Pendlebury family and especially my Great Grandfather Abraham Pendlebury.
