Hi to all! A couple of months ago, our local genealogy club had received a petition from ???? in regards to the 2000 Census to be withheld from public use. We all signed it, and it was sent in. I will try to find out if a copy was kept, or where it came from. This would be a terrible thing to happen. We should try to protect our descendants, so that they would have access. I also like the idea that we make copies of our own census report to keep in our files.

You know thinking about this, are we sure that they have said "never". It has always been that the information is not opened to the whole public, it's like when we don't post a whole lot of info on our living Kinfolks. If I thought that the information was going out there to all the con artist in this world (and oh yes, folks they would be the first to take advantage of it) then I don't want to have anything to do with it. The fact is that in time they will release the info. They just can't release it right away. I don't think you can readily get your hands on the info from say 30 years ago. No matter how much this current group gripes and moans about privacy eventually we will all be gone from this world and that info will be open for the taking. You know on another list that I am on someone from England posted how they keep great records within their communities, but did you know that these records are only posted in their National records when that registered record of that community is turned into them. Guess what? They don't turn the record book in till it is filled. This lady finally found the information she was looking for by going straight to the records keeper of the community and the date of death for this person she was looking for was 1888. This info could not be found anywhere except in this man's house or office (whatever) in the book that he had taken over to finish filling up with the info of the community. Now, I'm not criticizing Britain, I think it's marvelous that they have not let the hurry up and rush me world catch up with this. My point is, Genealogy is not easy. We have to search all over and we have to be willing to talk to complete strangers sometimes not an easy thing to do in this day and age. And we must respect one anothers current privacy.

Once again, the redundant naming patterns of the Pennington family creates confusion! Cheers, Katherine

I was out of town so missed the chance to throw this concept into the thread, but what happened to the idea that information developed using public funds is the property of the public (public domain) and must be made available except in cases where it's proven to create a threat to the national defense? Isn't that what the Freedom of Information Act was about? I can see locking up personal information for 70 years or so, but that the 2000 census will "never" be available to the public??? I doubt it. If the Constitution and Supreme Court are still around then, I have a feeling that little promise by the Census Bureau will be overturned. Katherine

Dear Joe, I am interested in your Abraham and Isaac - and your offer to tell me how to follow up on this line. Thanks, Carroll

Hi Steve, My 6th great grandfather, Abraham Pennington, was born in or in the vicinity of Cecil Co. MD around 1690. He and his family, including my 5th great grandfather, Isaac Pennington moved to Virginia in the early 1700's. If this fits your time line and sounds like it might be your family, I can tell you how with the Penningtons on the Internet. Joe Patrick

Gene Pennington (Group 7) Research Director Pennington Research Association www.penningtonresearch.org =========================================================== Query: Who was the husband of Margaret Pennington (1756 NC - 1825 Franklin Co., TN)? In 1820 John B. Palmer, born 1771 Rowan Co., NC, purchased a tract of land in Franklin Co., TN. He and his wife Sarah Rich Palmer, along with their daughter and son-in-law Eli B. Weddington and an older lady named Margaret Pennington (believed to be Sarah Rich Palmer's mother) had migrated to TN from Rowan Co. Would like to learn the name of the husband of Margaret Pennington. Her tombstone in the Walnut Grove Methodist Church Cemetery in Franklin Co. is inscribed: In memory of Margaret Pennington who departed this life May 1825 Aged 69 years The tombstone next to Margaret's is inscribed: In memory of John B. Palmer who departed this life Oct 1825 Aged 54 years These two tombstones have identical decorative carving on the top and are worded alike. John B. Palmer was married ca. 1795 to Sarah Rich of Rowan Co., NC. Sarah's parents were Isaac and Margaret Rich. Isaac died in Rowan Co. in 1787, had a will recorded there, and was buried in the Eaton Church Cemetery, which is in present-day Davie Co., NC. Did his widow Margaret (whose maiden name is unknown) marry a second time to a Mr. Pennington? According to Caleb Osborne's tax list of 1761, there were two Ephriam Penningtons living near the Forks of the Yadkin River in Rowan Co. in an area that is now Davie Co. This is the same area where the Richs, Palmers, and Weddingtons lived. Any leads will be appreciated. Joy Q. Gallagher Winchester, Franklin Co., TN

While searching for clues on the burial place for my g-g-grandfather, Andrew Jackson Monroe Pennington, b. 30 Aug 1824, d. 11 Feb. 1863., I found a web site that does have several Pennington names (but not the one I am searching for). The site is titled "23RD ARKANSAS INFANTRY REGIMENT CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA" and can be found at: http://www.insolwwb.net/~egerdes/23rdindx.htm . In another index, there is reference to Arkansas 23 Infantry Regiment (Pennington's Co. H). In checking Co. H in found many references to A.A. Pennington who was involved in the recruitment and/or signing the members. Some of the Pennington names found in Co. H are: Pennington, George W. Cpl. Pennington, Isaac R. Sgt. with a note that one Mary Pennington filed a claim on 25 April 1863. I hope this provides a clue for other researchers.

I have a question......All the information I have on Asa, shows he is the son of Timothy ..... In the Lawrence Co, Tombstone Inscriptions, vol 2, of Mt Vernon and Hoberg Towships, pg 125, it says his father is Asa and mother is Mary Tyler Pennington, all the other info seems to be correct, can some one clear this up for me............Thank you Jenell

Janet, Thanks so much for this post! For the first time ever I have found someone with the surname "Sack," and now can begin to see what I can find for the family. "Sack" is a Christian name used in my paternal line down to my grandfather's generation. In my records the first citing of the name is in the line of William Pennington, b. 1715, Sussex Co., Va., d. 1786, Brunswick Co., Va., who m. a Mary Unknown; Their first son was named Sack Pennington (1740 - 1795). William names his son "Sack" as administrator of his will. So was William's wife a Sack? Unfortunately my grandmothers are always getting lost, but this one is really a puzzle, as I can't imagine why a mother would name her son "Sack" unless she was a little strange. Of course, some wannabe genealogist have changed the name in records over time to "Isaac," which may be for all I know.

Well, that's how my gr grandfather S.B. Pennington was. What you have to take into account is how why their ancestors came to the frontier of KY. Of course not all of them were this way, I mean by all accounts Daniel Boone for example was not necessarily getting away from Civilization it was more the "What's over the next hill?" But some of those people were getting away from the different Governments that had been involved in their Ancestor's lives. The French, The English, and then along comes this new Democracy that had some great points but also had some confusing points. For example the Whiskey Rebellion. Some of these people in the hills of KY, TN even the Carolina's didn't trust Government. My gr grandfather didn't trust them and then after the crash of 1930 he really had a reason to not trust bankers, it didn't put too much 'stock' in them as it was but . . . I don't know sometimes I get to thinking they ask too many questions. I remember one census my mom and dad did back in the 60's and it had a whole bunch of questions. Some were rather ridiculous. Of course, yes to those of us who do the research of the past it's fascinating. Like for example watching a documentary on the bathroom habits of the Romans, but how do you think those Romans would react to our curiousity? Maybe they wouldn't mind but . . . -----Original Message----- From: Barbara Carlile [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2000 9:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PENNINGTON-L] Census 2000 Are all the Pennington's that way???
