Hi, In my desperation I am posting my "lost" Pennington again. I have lots of information once the line ties into the Nixon line of Coweta Co., GA, but I have a hard time finding anything previous since Silas died at such a young age in the Civil War. I am currently attempting to search every Pennington family in the GA 1850 census records to try to locate Silas with his parents, but have struck out in the counties I have searched so far. . .
