Dear Cousins, Ancestry has just put up the York county Wills -- free for ten days. The only Pennington/Penington (I checked for both) will has this Ephraim with a son Timothy. This is a BIG deal -- yet no one seems to haave ever pursued who this Ephraim connects to and who connects to him, and how. I'm not going to be able to follow up on these until later today, so dig in! There will be a Susquehanna River Perimeter at the web site -- or something like that --for the people who moved west (and north) of Philadelphia. They are very pivotal. Pennington Name: Ehriam York Borough Date: 26 Jan 1815 Proved 1 Feb 1815 Remarks: Ehriam Pennington. Jan. 26, 1815. Executor: George Haller. York Borough. Wife: Lydia Pennington. Children: Timothy, Mary wife of John Stoner, Elizabeth wife of Joseph Wampler, Susanna wife of George Haller, and Lydia wife of Robert Hays. Note that there two dates for a will -- the date it was written and the date it was proved. There are no witnesses given in this abstract -- I don't know if Ancestry left them out -- or the transcriber -- but they are important. Witnesses were often near friends or relatives.
