Vernon, Knox Co., in 1883. Bessie was the daughter of John SHUTT and Jane PENHORWOOD of Northam parish, Devon. Several generations of PENHORWOODs can be identified in the Northam parish registers. The HOOKWAYs joined John's siblings in Knox Co, some of whom arrived in Ohio decades earlier. Several related families from the Northam / Bideford area of Devon moved to Knox Co. and these may have included other PENHORWOODS.
