The numerous spelling variants of Jemima(h) (Jemimah, Jemima, Jamimah, & Jamima), along with several different surname spellings, Reddick, Reddock, Riddick, Ruddick, Rudduck, Ruddock and etc. complicate this issue. The same public record such as the wedding license is found spelled several different ways.
I am using "Jemimah Reddick", because that is the handwritten spelling I have in the marriage license, but even the Quaker records are not totally consistent in the spelling of Jemimah. The surname spellings find Ruddick, Reddock, Riddick, Rudduck & Ruddock used.
A publication entitled "The Ruddick Family in America" by John W. Hanneman, on page 12 he lists James Pendry and Jemimah Rudduck, and notes "James Pendry, who later served in the Revolution". Since Hanneman correctly lists James Pendry's known and identified three children (Sarah Pendry, Eli Pendry, and Dinah Pendry) it is safe to assume the information is correct, not withstanding the (yet again) example of the Reddick/Ruddick variant spelling, as previously mentioned.
Author note, received this information from a hardcopy publication spelling REDDICK, source is "North Carolina genealogical Society Volumes" Title "The Reddick Family & Allied Lines" Page 203 Date unknown. Author is a Mrs. Sue Riley Jones."
(Also received virtually the same exact information from "World Family Tree- Pedigree # 3640, except that spellings were Ruddick Rudduck and Ruddock.)
The beginning of this article states "(The Reddicks were one of the earliest families settling in Guilford and Northern Randolph, so we are grateful to have access to this work on the Reddick family from Mrs. Sue Riley Jones of Pleasant Garden."
(Article Verbatim, including exact variant spelling(s) of Reddick, as were published in the article. )"Among the early English immigrants who came from the Warrington Monthly Meeting of York County, Penn., into the Piedmont section of North Carolina were the Reddick (Rudduck) family who were of English and German descent. Joseph and Benjamin Ruddock were received on 1751 Certificates at Cane Creek Friends Meeting in present Alamance County, but then Orange County. in early 1752. Alice and John Sr. were received on request in 1754. William was received on certificate in 1759. (Hinshaw, p. 418).
Pennsylvania records show that a John Ruddock got a grant from the Proprietors for 100 acres on Opossum Creek in Lancaster County. Pa in 1741. The Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore,m PA., reports that a William Ruddock was received into membership at Warrington Monthly Meeting on his own request in 1749. Joseph and Benjamin were received on request 1-16-1750/51. Margaret, daughter of William, married Thomas Kendall 7-25-1751. Joseph and Benjamin were granted Certificates to North Carolina on 7-21-1751. There is no further mention of Joseph, but Benjamin is shown making several trips back and forth between North Carolina and Pennsylvania between 1751and 1768. William, wife Ann and children were granted a certificate to New Garden Meeting 8-19-1758.
John Reddick, Sr. bought 624 acres on the south side of Richland Creek from Mordicai and Charity Mendenhall in present Guilford and Randolph Counties (Then Rowan.) in 1761. (Rowan Deeds, 4:466). Three hundred acres of the Randolph land were sold to his son John JR, in 1786. Randolph Deeds, 3:213), twenty nine acres were sold to Wm. Tomlinson (Randolph deeds, 3:204), and the remainder of his land was left by will to his son William in1787.John Sr. is listed as "of Guilford Co.) in both the land sales, and his will is in Guilford. John Jr. and his family moved to Highland Co/Ohio about 1814.
John Reddick, Sr. was one of the leaders of the Springfield Friends meet (end page 203).
(Page 204 begins here) . In 1786 Henry Thornberry sold to Moses Mendenhall, Mathew Coffin, John Rudduck and William Tomlinson, five acres for the particular use of a meeting house for the people called Quakers of Springfield "whereon their meeting House now stands..." And in 1793, Mendenhall, Coffin, and Ruddock sold the same tract to Wm. Tomlinson and Isaac Mendenhall, "overseers of the Society of the People Called Quakers." (Guilford Deeds, 4:231).
John Reddick Sr. Guilford Co. will, written 7 October 1787 and entered for probate Feb. term 1790, named wife Jane, and these children: Dinah Mendenhall, Phoebe Mendenhall, John Reddick, Jr., Jemimah Pendry, Jane Reddick, Ruth Reddick, William Reddick, and Sarah Sanders. Executors were sons John and William, and William Tomlinson. Witnesses were Jno. Talbert, Samuel Pidgeon, and Thos. Thornburgh. Under the term of the will, his son William was to have the plantation.
Joseph and Benjamin Redduck were 1759 witnesses to a sale of land from Wm. Matthews of Lancaster County Pa., to Oliver Matthews, on Horsepen Creek in present Guilford Co. (Rowan Deed 6:29-30). Joseph Riddock proved the sale of the same land in 1763 in Rowan Court.
Joseph Reddick received a 300 acre State Grant on the upper part of the Uwharrie River in 1787 in Randolph County. (Randolph deed 3:153). His daughter Alice received a 25 acre grant in the northwest corner of Randolph in 1800.
Joseph Rudduck's Randolph Co. will was written in 1794 and recorded May term 1800. It named wife Phoebe, wife's daughter Martha Ellis and her daughter Rebecca Frazier; "my two daughters Alice and Sarah Rudduck. Ralph Wright and William Tomlinson were Executors.
Benjamin and William were in Guilford and Randolph, but exactly where isn't known. Benjamin traveled several times to York Co. PA., and owned land there. His Estate record indicates he died before 1787 and John Reddick Sr. was his administrator. No Children are known.
John's son William is shown in Guilford Co. in the 1790 and 1800censuses. His Guilford County will, written 17 July 1797, entered for probate Feb term 1804, names wife Mary and daughter Jane. Executors were wife Mary and Isaac Mendenhall.Mary was to have half the plantation, and the movable property, and Jane was to have half of the estate and all if her mother remarried.
The elder William, believed to be a brother of John, and his sons William Jr., Solomon and John in 1772 settled on land in Carroll County VA>, (then Montgomery County.)
Solomon bought land on what was later called Reddicks Mill Creek and married Ann Bedsaul but obtained a divorce in 1796, because Ann had abandoned him for William Spurgeon. Solomon retained custody of his 5 children. He moved from the area in 1799. John owned land on Gordon's Creek, but moved away between 1782 and 1787; he married Catherine Cox, daughter of William Cox of Chestnut Creek. William Jr. settled on Wads Mill creek, and apparently died in 1798, leaving widow Lydia and children. (Alderman, John P. "Carroll 1765-1815: The Settlements" pages 284-5.).
The 1779 Randolph Co NC Tax list, William Millikan's District, shows John Reddick, Jr. and Joseph Reddick.
Minutes of New Garden and Deep River show that John Reddick, Sr. was a son of the elder William and Alice Reddick (Ruddock). It has not been proven that Joseph, Benjamin and William were also sons of the elder William and Alice Reddick. However, it seems likely that they were (BOTTOM PAGE 204)
(TOP PAGE 205) brothers of John, being associated in land records, as executors in wills, and other documents.
Phoebe Mendenhall (daughter of John Reddick, Sr.) left a Guilford Co. will written 21 July 1816 and entered for probate Feb term 1826, naming daughter Ruth, to whom she gave 45 acres inherited from her brother William Rudduck, dec'd. daughter Beulah, to have land to Isaac Mendenhall line, and daughters Phoebe Beck (or Ricks), Mary Kister and Irene Ricks; and sons Mordicai, Seth and Enos. Zebulon Hunt was executor. (End of Reddick article as published.)

(Author Note:) This document is important because it shows the actual handwritten spellings. Jemimah Reddick appears to be how her name is spelled. There are numerous variations of her name in different records. Unless other information or evidence emerges, I will use the spelling "Jemimah Reddick".
James Pendry: Known Biographical Information:
As mentioned below, his handwritten Last Will & Testament document refers to him as James J. Pendry.
"James Pendry" is on the published list called the "Flower Swift 3RD Undated Militia List, from1782 in Montgomery County Virginia (which became Grayson County in 1792), there are four men with surname spelled REDDOCK. (William Reddock,John Reddock, Solomon Reddock, William Reddock) which are on that list of Quakers with a James Pendry. It should be noted that there is not direct evidence that proves specifically that this was the James Pendry that married Jemimah Reddick. However, given the correct county, time frame and being on list with the Reddocks mentioned, it seems highly probable that this may be the same James Pendry. ("Henry Pendry" is also on the same list).
The Flower Swift 3rd Militia list is known by most historians to be a list of actual Revolutionary War Militia members that included some minor combatants and/or non-combatants, such as Quakers, that somehow were helpful on the Colonists side in the Revolution. Flower Swift was the top name on the list and Swift was a Militia Captain in the Revolutionary War. Some men are also identified as Quakers on the list. It is not clear if the Quakers were identified as "Quaker" on the list, or if historians have later ascertained Quakers by gleaning local Quaker records.
Author Note May 9, 2009: On PAGE 117 of the microfilm of the 1800 Pendleton County South Carolina Census (The entry three places from the bottom of the page) the entry: Henry Pendroy. It is not written as PENDRY, but is written as PENDR(O)Y. This is the earliest know spelling ( Pendroy ) I have found in any document. There are both a James Pendry and a Henry Pendry listed in Revolutionary War and Quaker documents. I hope more information may be uncovered in future research concerning this issue.
View James Pendry and Henry on the Flower Swift 3rd Undated Militia list.

Undated Militia Roster.
PENDRY, JAMES, Quaker, Flower Swift's 3rd Undated Militia Roster.
June 10, 2009 Note: Recently I came across a Land Grant to Henry Pendry in 1717 in Isle of Wight, Va. If this Henry Pendry is the same Henry Pendry who was located with James Pendry (Both of whom are on Flower Swift's 3rd Undated Militia Roster).
This makes 1717 the farthest back that the linked Pendry/Pendroy surname has been traced to - so far, to earliest Colonial America, interesting in that it is almost sixty years before the Revolutionary war.

This is found in Deep River Monthly Meeting (Quaker) from March 3, 1783 meeting in Guilford County concerning James and son Eli Pendry. "James Pendry produced a certificate to this meeting from New Garden, dated the 28th of the first month 1786, for himself and wife and three children; one son named Eli, which was read and accepted."
The man (as recorded in Quaker documents) born as Eli Pendry to James and Jemimah (Reddick) Pendry of Guilford County, North Carolina on Dec. 13, 1776 was in fact the same man who became known as (or was) Eli Pendroy.
The same Eli Pendroy who in 1803 went to Caesar Creek Township of Greene Co. Ohio, and then went to Indiana. Who in 1851 went to Marion Co. Iowa; and died in the area of Monroe, Iowa at age 88 in 1865. The same Eli Pendroy that married Mary A. Lop and whose sons were Jacob Pendroy and James Pendroy.
James and Jemimah (Reddick) Pendry were Quakers and birth and marriage and church proceedings were documented by the Quakers. The records are primarily in Volume One - The Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy.
James Pendry married Jamima (Jemimah) Reddick Jan. 31, 1775.
According to the Quaker records James and Jemimah Pendry had the following children: Sarah Pendry, Eli Pendry, and Dinah Pendry. (Eli born Dec 13, 1776.)
This appears to be confirmed as the Will of James J. Pendry in1796, mentions only these 3 children. Eli, Sarah, and Dinah.
On page 566 is this entry "1783, 8, 30. James Pendry & w, Jemimah & ch, Sarah & Eli, rocf Deep River MM, dated 1783, 3,3."
(Note: rocf in Quaker terminology means "received on certificate from". The certificate being required to allow the members to join the (Quaker) Friends Meeting worship house at the new location. Conversely 'gct" means granting certificate to''').
Deep River is near High Point and Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
In this entry about 3 years later - it appears they may have moved back to Deep River. page 523 - "1786, 1, 28. James Pendry & family gct Deep River MM."
Sarah Pendry married a man named Thomas Garrison who was from Randolph County on November 21, 1793.
Later on, James Pendry's married daughter Dinah (Dianna) is mentioned on April 4, 1803. The husbands first name was not known initially, only that her husband was a "Thornburg(h)". This marriage, with knowledge of the husband's first name, emerged later as a vital piece of evidence. Then information was found from the Thornburg family.
In it was the Joel Thornburg and Dinah Pendry marriage, and Dinah's father, who was known in the Thornburg history as James Pendry. When I saw that Dinah's first daughter was named Jemimah and that their third daughter Jane was born in 1819 in Greene in County Ohio, (where Eli and Jacob were known to be living in 1819) I realized the significance.
Dinah (Dianna) PENDRY - Father: James PENDRY. Husband: Joel THORNBURG (Joel Thornburg came to Caesar Creek Township of Greene Co. Ohio in 1804. He died May 5, 1861 at age 84. buried in New Hope Graveyard). MARRIAGE: 5 Jul 1802, Jefferson Co., TN - Children of Joel and Dinah (Pendry) Thornburg 1.Jemimah THORNBURG, 2.Nancy THORNBURG, 3.Jane THORNBURG, 4.Thomas THORNBURG, 5.Judith THORNBURG, 6.Elizabeth Ann THORNBURG, 7.Joel THORNBURG, 8.Eli THORNBURG, 9.James A THORNBURG, 10.William THORNBURG, 11.Josiah THORNBURG
In the1820 Census of Caesar Creek Township in Greene county, Ohio, Joel Thornburg is a neighbor of Eli Pendroy and Jacob Pendroy.
