I'm on many nights at 4 am [when the garbage truck convoy goes west towards eastern Cincinnati. But I'm Eastern Standard Time, and you're something further west. 11 years,24 hours a day,7 days aweek,I nursed my aged parent[s]. Almost always had a wet bed to change around 4am. The Internet is really quick then. 20+ years I've been interested in Honor Grimes=Grayham Crawford Stephen,and her sons,and grandsons,but I'm just seeing hints near the Pennington's where they came from. www,ancestry.com has 'Early Pa Land Records" mentionig a surveyor named E Penington. Surveying and indian trading sometimes went together-re Honor's son,Col Wm Crawford,tortured 1782,as an example. Surveying a new country was a back woods job-read the young George Washington. Indian trading and iron work skills went together. After whiskey,and maybe blankets,ax and gun smithing were high on the list of things Indians traded for. Samuel Walker,VestaL,Stephenson are some on O'Dell's map 3 and 6 involved in iron. And Cecil Co had Prinicpo Furnace,and Iron Hill,where the Pecander Welsh mined,and John Ball's 1722 furnace on White Clay,nw NEW CASTLE,Del,and more. Hollingsworth. Anyway, Pem Brook is the sometimes translation of the nw Cecil Pennington lands,sayeth O'Dell or the Pennington web page. Wm Penn,himself,had Welsh ties. Were the Pennington's from Pembrookshire,Wales?

If the "E Penington, surveyor" records are between the dates of 1698 and 1701, that is Edward Penington, son of Isaac "The Quaker" Penington, and grandson of Sir Isaac Penington, who died in the Tower of London, "of ill-usage" for his part in the regicide parliament. There is some confusion as to the number of "n's" in Penington/Pennington in this family line. Sir Isaac seemed to have used two in the records I have seen, and Isaac the Quaker only one. Isaac Jr. had quite a bit of trouble with the supporters of Charles II (land siezures, bogus arrests, etc) because of his father's friendship with Cromwell, and also his blossoming Quaker faith, and may have dropped an "n" in hopes of being less recognized. (My conjecture.) Edward was the step-brother-in-law of William Penn, and appointed his surveyor general. Poor Edward got here in 1698, did some surveying, got married, fathered a child, and died in 1701. His son Isaacwas raised in Bucks County and moved to Philadelphia, and there the family stayed for many generations. The name died out as a surname in the late 1800's, but persists as a first or middle name in my family- for example my aunt Frances Pennington Xxxxxx, (living.) In fact, there seems to be a naming convention of using surnames for given names and "middle names:" My grandfather- Wharton Griffitts Cookman, his brother, Rodney Pennington Cookman; a lot of my cousins the same. I escaped that, but am named for my paternal great-grandfather. There is a transcription of a newspaper article about this line of Penningtons on the AMXROADS website. A very interesting bunch.

Actually, Edward Penington and Gulielma Maria Springett were half-sibs- same mother, different fathers. Gulielma married Wm.
