Teton County  and Surrounding Area Showing Pendroy, Montana.

View picture of Pendroy, Montana in 1917.

After the civil war  many Pendroy extended families, mostly the extended families of  Jacob Andrew (called Andrew or Uncle Andy), and Margaret (Brown) Pendroy,  the James M. Pendroy and 4 sons  and other Pendroy families left Marion County, Iowa and went   west in covered wagons. In general, all of this group were descendents of (old) Jacob and Margaret (Boots) Pendroy.

This Pendroy family founded what was originally referred to as the Pendroy Colony in the North Dakota Territory which became Pendroy, North Dakota near the current towns of Velva and Towner N. D. in the Souris (called Mouse) River area in north central North Dakota. (McHenry County).

Concerning Pendroy,  Montana - According their own family branch, both James Andrew Pendroy and Levi Boots Pendroy started the town of Pendroy, Montana. I base this on the written comment in 1941 biography of James (b 1862) Martin Pendroy, written by his son Charles Pendroy in 1941.
