History
Rev. Edward Davies Fendall was born about 1813 in Churchtown, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
He was an American clergyman. Although reared in the Episcopalian Church, he became a Baptist through careful reading and study of the New Testament. He was ordained in 1839 and served in several parishes in New Jersey. After a few years spent in teaching, he became pastor at Moorestown, New Jersey in 1852. In 1854, he was chosen clerk of the West Jersey Association. In the late 1860s, he moved to Philadelphia where he served as a Reverend from 1868-1877. In 1877, he wrote “The Sixty-Sixth Anniversary of the West New Jersey Baptist Association, Held with the Woodbury Baptist Church”.
About 1843 he married Elizabeth Powell (1820-1889). He died on December 13, 1883, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
