Pendrell, 74 years old, a descendant of the Pendrells of England, who helped Charles hide in an oak tree when the king was fleeing from Oliver Cromwell's army. So grateful was he that after the restoration he granted a charter providing that his benefactors and their descendants should receive forever afterward a bounty in token of a king’s thanks.The gTatuity, passing down the generations to the . eldest son, yields Mr, Pendreil about $400 annually. He Is said to be the only King Charles pensioner in the United States. Dr. Francis. E.. Walker of St. John, N. B„ descended from Mrs, Elizabeth Pendrell Yates, gets about $45 annually. Thirty-eight other recipients of the payment are scattered throughout the world, receiving from two to forty pounds sterling a year.clcIovml274(ateroc
