Pendell Family Record

This family record is written on a sheet of paper front and
back. It is a record of births and deaths that was copied out
of an "old register". This was done on or before 1837, where
diary-like entries were written afterwards.

Hannah was born Hannah Brooks in Eastbury, CT, according
to some Internet accounts (unverified).

Apparently there was some religious rift in the family, based on
what is written below.
