This may be repetitive information, but here goes: From the James Stark of Stafford County Virginia and his Descendants books: Pennington Family The Pennington Family also were early settlers in the Frederick/Clarke Co VA area. Orange Co VA Deed Bk 2, p427 shows Abraham Pennington of Orange Co VA conveying to Jacob Pennington 600 acres on west side of Shanandoah River part of a patent granted Abraham Pennington Oct 3, 1734. Catherine Pennington, wife of Abraham, relinquished her dower. Some sources state that the wife of Abraham Pennington was named Catherine Williams. Abraham Pennington appears in the Frederick Co VA Deed Books in 1743. In 1749 he appears in the Fairfax Co VA Court Minutes, p. 44, involved in a suit between John Lindsey and Josiah Clapham. His last appearance in Frederick Co was in Deed Bk 2, p 492, Aug. 4, 1752. Feb. 4, 1752 in South Carolina he portioned for 100 acres already claimed by him and a warrant for 200 additional acres. He stated that he had a wife and 2 children for who no land had been granted. He desired land on Indian Creek (SC Council Journal No. 20, p 13). The will of Abraham Pennington is found in the Charleston Will Books in 1755. He named wife Catherine, sons Isaac, Abraham, Jacob and John, and daughter Abigail. The Pennington’s were among the earliest of the settlers in Newberry Co. “The History of Newberry Co SC” states that in 1759 small forts were built by settlers between the Broad and Saluda including 2 forts built by the Penningtons. Apparently the earliest member of the Pennington family to migrate to Newberry Co SC was Jacob Pennington, son of Abraham. Jacob Pennington appeared in 1747 in Frederick Co VA Deed Bk 1, p293 in a deed involving John Hardin and again in 1747 (Frederick Co Deed Bk 1, p 94), a power of attorney from Jacob Pennington to Isaac Pennington. He appeared in one Fairfax Co Minutes record in 1749 when he was plaintiff in a suit with Joseph West and John Hardin. In 1748 Jacob Pennington bought land from John Rasher and wife Elizabeth on the low grounds of the Conger (Charleston Deed Bk B-3 p 80). Apparently deciding to settle in the Newberry Co SC area, in 1749 he petitioned for a change of Location in his grant and stated that he was from VA. (SC Council Journal No. 17, p 696). In 1755 Jacob Pennington bought 200 Acre from John Fairchild and wife Rachel (Charleston Deed Bk B-3, p 89.) (Rest of paragraph is SC information…BTrott) Skip ahead to Isaac Pennington. Isaac Pennington, son of Abraham, appeared in a Frederick Co VA deed in 1744, Bk 1, p 94, involving Thomas Colson. He was still a resident of Frederick Co VA as late as 1751 reporting on a road from court house to William’s Gap (Snicker’s Gap) In the same year Isaac Pennington of the Province of VA, Blacksmith, purchased from George Whiles and wife Elizabeth 350 acres in the fork of Broad and Saluda Rivers on a branch of Broad River called Pennington Creek. (Charleston Deed Bk L-3, p 466) Also in 1751 Isaac Pennington gave a power of attorney to Samuel Isaac, beloved and trusted friend in Frederick Co VA Deed Bk 2, p 367. The will of Samuel Isaac in 1760 Frederick Co VA Will Bk 2, p376 mentioned land from Capt John Lindsey. Another record in Frederick Co VA, Deed Bk 12, p 16, showed Godfrey Isaac (son of Samuel) conveying to David Ashby, and the witnesses were John Lindsay, Henry Wells, James Lindsey and Abigail Wells. These records further show the close association between the Pennington, Lindsey and Wells families in VA. In another SC record in 1754 Isaac Pennington petitioned that he had a wife for whom no land had been granted and requested 50 acres on or near the waters of Santee (Council journal No. 23, p 169). The last record for Isaac Pennington in VA was Frederick Co VA Deed Bk 3, p35, 1754 in which Isaac Pennington conveyed to John Hite et al. (Rest of paragraph is SC information…BTrott) I sent information on the Lindseys Other families with connections to Frederick Co VA ….. Speake (actually Charles Co MD & Fairfax Co VA), Wells, William Calmes Sr., Wadlington, Babb, Reeder, Philemon Waters, and others. How much of these records would you like? I might try my luck at scanning to TextBridge and sending you files. I’m not much typist. Bill Trott
