If you are or know of any one who is a PENLEY or has a PENLEY relative, PLEASE contact me. I am trying to up-date a PENLEY genealogy that has a number of PENLEY descendants of Joseph 1 PENLY who was b 1755 in England and arrived in Freeport, ME in 1770. Joseph is a Rev War patriot. We know of one grandson of Joseph 1 who went to Canada as early as the mid 1840's and had descendants that lived in Quebec, Ontario, several western provinces, and returned to the US thru IL and / or MI. Joseph 1 was 1m 1780 to Esther 5 FOGG JOHNSON, widow of Joshua JOHNSON, by whom she had 2 daus, Esther and Elizabeth JOHNSON. Esther was a descendant of Samuel 1 FOGG who was in Hampton, NH in the mid 1600's. Joseph and Esther had 10 ch before Esther d in 1796. Joseph 2m 1797 Thankful MOODY and they had 6 children. Joseph died in 1844 and was buried beside Penley Corner Church which is 3 miles south of Auburn, ME. During the 1940's - 1970's, Rev Robert Irving 6 PENLEY did a tremendous amount of research on the ancestors in England and the descendants of Joseph 1 PENLY. Some lines were brought up to as late as the 1950's, but some lines are not followed beyond the mid 1850's when a number of descendants left ME for MA and beyond. Another descendant and I are working to find and bring as many of these lines as up-to-date as possible. If you have or know of anyone who is a PENLY / PENLEY or has a PENLY / PENLEY relative, PLEASE contact me with as much of the direct PENLEY line as you have, clearly identifying the earliest known PENLEY ancestor, so we can work together to bring as many lines as possible as up-to-date as possible. This summer marks the 250th anniversary of Joseph 1 PENLY's birth and we would like to have as much data as possible ready for our annual Reunion at 2 PM on July 10th (2nd Sun in July) at Penley Corner Church, Auburn, ME. Most grateful for any additions, corrections, or help with any PENLEY connections. Janice

Cris, I can give you some pointers on researching with webtv. Contact me offlist. Jane

I found a casualty list of all military personnel and civilians who were killed at Pearl Harbor. These were the only two named Thornton. At least it will put that rumor to rest. THORNTON Cecil Howard S2c USN USS OKLAHOMA THORNTON George Hayward GM3c USN USS ARIZONA You might have to sit on this until the 1940 census becomes available. It's strange that there doesn't seem to be any Social Security record for him. Joan in Illinois
