This is not about a particular Pembrton branch, but about the branches that were found in the early American Colonies.
The following is from a posting on rootsweb on February 22, 2014.

“There were no other Pemberton’s listed in Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine and
New York to complete the twelve states in the Union at that time. But here
is listed thirty-eight distinct Pemberton families. But note the variety of
Pemberton’s: in South Carolina there is the Quaker group in Newberry County
and other groups in the other county listed; in North Carolina, there is the
French or deJarnet line and then other groups; in Virginia, the Huguenot,
the Quaker, and families from either group.” I. Irl Pemberton from Annals of
Newberry, S.C.
