Hello I would like to introduce my Owen County kinfolk. I must say I don't have much on any of them, because most of my research has been on the BOWLES family. And, most of what I do have is from my Aunt Naomi PENICK LAWRENCE. But here is what I know. My father: Ray PENICK 1918-1998 son of Roy PENICK & Nina LAWRENCE. Roy PENICK 1892-1914 son of Robert Parker PENICK & Zarilda HAMMOND. Robert Parker PENICK 1861-1937 son of James Edward PENICK & Susannah LANDRUM. James Edward PENICK 1824-1905 was born in Mason County, KY. James Edwards father, William PENICK was the first of this line to come to Ky. from New Kent County, VA. Zarilda HAMMOND 1864-1903 was the daughter of Lewis HAMMOND & Mary COLEMAN. Lewis HAMMOND 1824-ABT 1880, was son of Robert HAMMOND & Nancy MORGAN. Robert HAMMOND b.1794 in North Carolina, married Nancy MORGAN 29 Aug 1820. Other folks I have in Owen County are SMITH, but I know very little about them. My great-grandmother was Hattie SMITH, and she married Ruben LAWRENCE. My Aunt gave me a group sheet with this information, and she does have her mother's line on this sheet. Names include, COLSTON, ROWLAND, SKIRVIN, SINNET, STEPHENSON, WOOLUMS,DOANE,WASHINGTON & ROBINSON. Most have birth & death dates, but most do not show a birth place. Thanks, Bev Penick Boles
