Her husband is dead, probably after 1842. Their children were: Alphonse (1825), Isaac (Nov 1828), John (1832), Anna (1834), Jacob (1839), Louisa (1842). Jacob may have moved to NY, married a woman named Mary and had two sons, Eugene and William. He may have served in the Civil War in Ulster, NY, discharged 1861. Mary may have died as Jacob is found later in Fulton, OH near his brother, Isaac, in 1880. This same Jacob may have remarried a woman named Jemima and had more children : Frank, James, Burdella, George, Anna Maria, John and Cora Olive. I am hoping to discover whether this is indeed the same Jacob Penney. I am inclined to believe it is since the person I believe to be his brother Isaac also named sons Eugene and William, although they may have just been popular names. Can anyone prove or disprove my theory? I'd be happy to share other Penny family research, too.
