Can anyone tell me who Pennington Township was named for? Did this family come from GA, and if so, with whom? Thanks, Teresa

Isaac Pennington apparently came to Arkansas from Wilson County, TN with his father, Isaac, Sr., and other members of the family. They had lived on Spencer Creek in Wilson County. They probably knew the Bradleys in Wilson County, and were neighbors of Hugh Bradley on Long Prairie in what was then Hempstead County, Arkansas and is now Lafayette County. The town of Bradley (just east of Long Prairie) was named for a member of the family. The Bradleys, Penningtons and others moved from Long Prairie to what would become Bradley County around 1826.
