    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Penn, Henderson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4AB.2ACI/62.161.2.1 Message Board Post: I am very interested in your research on the Penn and Henderson families. The 1900 Henry Co. census lists: (Bourigard Penn (looks more like Pem) born Sep 1862, Mary Jane wife, and four children: Emma P. dtr, William W. son, Ahah(?) son, Nancy dtr. ) The Ahah is actually Alvah B. Penn, my grandmother. For some reason, the census always lists her as a boy! I am trying to prove who Alvah's grandparents were. I am told from my father's records that the father of Daniel Beauragard Penn (Bourigard) was John Thomas Penn Senior,(1825/32-1903/04) and his mother was Nancy Ann Henderson (1830-1918). His mother, Mary Jane Penn, is the daughter of John Ryan Penn (1818-?) and Millicent Wilhite of Millicent Sweatman, of Owen County, KY. Millie, as she was known, may be Millie Lock of EK Junction, KY. After Daniel Beauragard passed away, his wife, Mary Jane Penn, married his brother John Thomas Penn in 1910. The marriage certificate lists Ryan Penn as her father and Lillie Penn of Owen Co. Ky as her parents. I have seen some researchers registers that list Charles Penn and Martha Johnson as Mary Jane Penn's parents. If you have anything you can share that would shed light on the lineage of Daniel Beauragard Penn and Mary Jane Penn, I would be most appreciative. If you like, I can make some copies of what I have, pictures etc. and send them to you.
