We decend through their son, Isaiah Thomas. See the Thomas Line for their children and descendants. Per "Quakers in South Carolina Backcountry - Watertree & Bush River"......Three Pemberton brothers, namely, Isaiah, Robert and John came from Newberry to Miami County, perhaps being sons of George, mentioned in the Annals. They opened farms and reared families some of whom yet live. John in after life went into a state of "melancholia." Concluding he was useless to the world and had better leave it, he sent for James Hall, a once Newberry neighbor, but not a Quaker, and asked him if he did not think that he (John) had better commit suicide. Hall, who though illiterate had common sense, encouraged him in the project. Well, how had it better be done? Would not drowning in Ludlow Creek, which was near, be the best way of accomplishing it? "Yes", replied Hall, "and I'll go down with you and if necessary help you do it." Having arrived at the creek, Pemberton stood hesitating upon the bank, when Hall shoved him in. He would not drown however, but came out with a good wetting, and what was better, an entire cure of his suicidal desires. He lived many years afterwards, but in a state of semi-dementia, an object of pity to those who saw him.
