Sandie Pendleton met Catherine "Kate" Carter Corbin when the Confederate army was stationed in the vicinity of Fredericksburg during the winter of 1862, and General "Stonewall" Jackson stayed at Moss Neck Manor, her family home. The two were engaged just before the Chancellorsville campaign. They married on December 29, 1863 at Moss Neck Manor. Kate was pregnant at the time of Sandie's death, and gave birth to a son, named Sandie after his father, a month later. The boy contracted diphtheria and died in September 1865. Kate Corbin had moved to Lexington after her marriage, and eventually married former Confederate naval officer and professor John Mercer Brooke. They had three children. She is buried beside her second husband in Lexington, near her first husband and where Stonewall Jackson was originally buried. Kate Corbin was the daughter of James Parke Corbin, whose family had lived in the Rappahannock River valley for generations. A sister-in-law through Kate's brother, Spotswood Wellford Corbin was Diana Fontaine Maury-Corbin daughter of Commander Matthew Fontaine Maury who also had lived in Fredericksburg. Moss Neck Manor still stands and has been renovated. It was not destroyed in the war. An ancestor of Kate, Richard Corbin succeeded Lord Dunmore when the latter fled Williamsburg, Virginia, and served as royal governor until the beginning of the American Revolution, when he was deposed as a Loyalist. Sandie's family was also one of the First Families of Virginia. His paternal grandfather was Edmund Pendleton, Jr., the grandnephew and adopted son of Edmund Pendleton. Wm.N. Pendleton's mother was Lucy Nelson, daughter of Hugh Nelson of York County, Virginia and niece of Revolutionary War Governor Thomas Nelson. Anzolette Pendleton was the granddaughter of both Governor Nelson and Governor John Page. Family biographer Susan Pendleton Lee noted the Pendletons, Pages and Nelsons were conspicuous for "their intellectual vigor, unswerving patriotism, honorable discharge of duty in important positions, and devoted piety." Pendleton was portrayed by Jeremy London in the 2003 Civil War film "Gods and Generals", and was a minor character in the Jeff Shaara book of the same name.
