The right column of burials lists - Samuel Francis of Pendleton. The way the "of Pendleton" is used appears as if it is part of the surname. His son, Samuel, shows his parents are Samuel and Mary "of Pendleton" The Francis isn't even used. During this period of time, many although not all, families didn't have surnames. So what do I enter where? I thought maybe putting Samuel Francis as the given name and blank for his surname. Since I'm not sure if Francis is his given name or his surname. I also thought to use Pendleton as his surname or "of Pendleton".
