Excerpt from The Genealogy of the Pendarvis-Bedon Families: Of South Carolina, 1670-1900, Together With Lineal Ancestry of Husbands and Wives Who Intermarried With Them Also References to Many Associated Southern Families Ordinarily, statements made as to genealogy are readily accepted. Should a family named Brown say that their grandfather, James Brown, married Susan, second daughter of Colonel Thomas Green, whose wife was Ann, eldest daughter of Major Eliphalet rbite, who was aide to General Blank during the Revolution; and that James Brown was the only son of Thomas Brown, the eldest son of Honorable Thomas Brown, who had been killed by the Indians when about to lay out the City of Salem in Kentucky, et cetera, nobody would doubt what the Browns said. Neither would anybody usually investigate what the Browns claim; in fact, very few care who were the ancestors of either the Browns or Greens, or what they did. If those of the Brown name, who are now alive, only be cultivated and pleasing folk, that is all that is comfortably needful - their descent does not matter.
