I can't find any slaves held by this particular Pendleton in either the 1850 census nor 1860 federal censuses. While he was abroad for part of the time, slaves could be hired out (with appropriate annotations) and any attached to particular plantations should show. William J. Pendleton was a major slaveowner in Louisa County, as were Joseph K. Pendleton and Joseph W. Pendleton; John O Pendleton owned many slaves in Albemarle County and John T. Pendleton owned slaves in Spotsylvania county--all in the 1860 census. I don't see any slaveowners of that surname in Orange nor Rappahannock Counties, although two Culpeper slaveowners were Susan Pendleton and Jack Pendleton, and Thornton Pendletown owned slaves in Clarke CountyJweaver28 (talk) 20:12, 4 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
