• Notes

  The name Pemberton comes from Old English "pen" (hill), "bere" (barley) and "tun" (farm) so it meant "the barley farm on the hill". The name dates back to Adam de Pemberton, 12th century lord of the manor in Wigan and there is a long line of Pembertons in the parish of Wigan in Lancanshire. Pembertons were lords of the manor of Wigan in the 12th century, beginning with Adam de Pemberton who was listed in the Close Rolls of London. Wil: "Wigan during classical antiquity was in the territory of the Brigantes, an ancient Celtic tribe that ruled much of what is now northern England. The Brigantes were subjugated in the Roman conquest of Britain during the 1st century, and it is asserted that the Roman settlement of Coccium was established where Wigan lies. Wigan is believed to have been incorporated as a borough in 1246 following the issue of a charter by King Henry III of England. At the end of the Middle Ages it was one of four boroughs in Lancashire possessing Royal charters." In 1201 there was a village of Pemberton in Wigan Parish. In the 14th century, Ralph de Pemberton owned land and holdings in Wigan. William, the first documented ancestor, was a landowner of some means in Aspull, Wigan Parish. He suffered persecution because he was a member of the Society of Friends, many of whom had recently become established in the Manchester area, not far from Wigan Parish. His granddaughter, Ellen, was a Quaker all her life. Information and dates for the Pembertons is sourced from Dawnell Hatton Griffin's book "From England to America, Our Allred Family, Exemplar Press, 2015. Her information is documented from early church records of Eccles Parish and records of the Pemberton Family now housed in the manuscript division of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
