Dear Bobby, Let's add a few others...and I think we also need to add location...mine are Levi (1767-1815) son of Micajah, Sr. Wilkes and Ashe Co., NC, Levi (1794-aft 1880) Ashe Co., NC, the first Levi's son, then Levi Daniel (1837-1/17/1909) Ashe Co., NC then Burke Co., NC, his son, Levi Wilson b. 12/25/1859-3/29/1954) Ashe Co., NC, Johnson Co., TN...This group is from the same line...Micajah-Levi-Levi-Levi Daniel- and Levi Wilson. There is also another in Group 7... Levi (10/1/1812-6/16/1889) - son of Edward in Lee Co., VA. I also see two Levis associated with Aaron Pennington and Ann Coldiron...I used to think Aaron was Micajah, Jr's son...but now, I'm not so sure. Do you have proof of Joshua Pennington as Micajah, Jr.'s son...would like to know it if so... Have I confused everyone yet...perhaps this is something that we need to address on the PRA website...we have a lot of Micajahs, Levis, Ephraims, Benajahs, and many other names that are associated with the different groups. Perhaps we need to do some documentation to differentiate between these different individuals...it might make it easier for those of us not directly descended from these people to keep them straight. The commonality may only be the association with the Quakers and regions...but it may also help us make some connections between the different groups.

Hi Carmen, I have a hard time keeping all the Levi's separated, but in Group VI we have Levi Sr. (1714-1790), Levi Jr. (1758-1808), and Levi III (1781-1813). There are others much younger, such as Levi Jackson Pennington (1873-1922) who was Mary's grandfather. If I have the correct Levi from the Micajah Group (son of Joshua and g-son of Micajah), he was b. 1832 d. 1913. I guess the best thing to do is to indicate the date of birth after each named Levi and maybe include the group??

Hi Carmen, Actually, I don't have a Levi so far as I know. I was replying to a message from Mary who asked if Levi Jr.'s wife might have been Elizabeth Strunk. Mary wrote to Bobby Pennington earlier today with that question. I am curious about it since it is believed in Group 32 that an Elizabeth Strunk was the wife of Wells Pennington. Barbara Temple Group 12 Leader Group 32 Member

Audrey, Can you tell from the 1850 census what your Edward's birthplace was...that could be interesting...also...how much "land research" have you done on your Edward. I really would not be surprised to find your Edward to be the son of Levi, Micajah, or Eliajah Pennington. Just curious?

Just out of curiosity... How are you differentiating between Levi Pennington, grandson of Micajah Pennington with your Levi...remember that "my" Levi also married an Elizabeth. I may be showing my ignorance here...but would like to know.

Dear Pennington Cousins... I found a wonderful webpage with just oodles of Barger info...don't know where they fit in? The Bargers fit in with two of the "Pennington sisters..." They are descendants of both Mary Pennington and Jesse Bolling...and Sarah Pennington and Samuel Johnson. I've updated Sarah's page to reflect this additional info. Most of the update is on Sarah Pennington's line...but you will find a whole lot more info on the Barger web site if you check it out...The web site is http://members.tripod.com/~suzid/ I need some help with the Bollings and the Dicksons (ie Mary Pennington and Johanna Pennington) I do have some info...but would like to fill it out a bit more. Also...if any of you have Census data that applies to Group 7 let me know...I would like to add it to the web site...as always...I also would like more pictures of people and graves to add to the number. I think that our Group 7 web site is really starting to come together...but I sure would like more data to add. I started the bit with the "wish list"...if you remember...I wanted to see... 1. I would like to see a will for Micajah Pennington...It must exist somewhere! 2. How about the document that transfers the power of attorney to Zehphaniah Bell from Benajah Pennington, son of Micajah Pennington and Rachel Jones. I think it is supposed to be in Barron Co., KY. 3. I would like to know what happened to Eliajah Pennington and Susannah Kelly and if they ever had children. 4. I would love to see a correct list of the children of Levi Pennington, son of Micajah Pennington and Rachel Jones. 5. I think that all of the Penningtons in Ashe County, NC are related...wouldn't it be great to find out how? Wanda Lombardo added these wishes.... 6. A copy of a death certificate and/or birth confirmation in the way of a birth certificate or bible record on Greenberry Pennington. The same for Letitia Robbins Pennington. 7. Pictures of Greenberry and Letitia Robbins Pennington. Pictures of Charles Pennington and Diana Parsons. Pictures of Martha Pennington Robbins and McGriggin (Greg) Robbins. Anyone else have some pressing "wishes" I need some input please!

Dear Mary, I am curious why you asked whether Elizabeth Strunk might be the wife of Levi, Jr. Group 32's progenitor, Wells Pennington, was married to an Elizabeth who is believed to have been Elizabeth Strunk. She and Wells show up on the 1850 census of Wayne Co.KY. There is no concrete, actual proof that Wells' wife was a Strunk but there is some supporting evidence. Wells and Elizabeth had a life-long, close relationship with Daniel Strunk which began in Ashe Co.NC and continued as both families moved to Whitley Co.KY. Wells Pennington moved on to Wayne and Pulaski Counties, KY. about 1828-1829. In addition to the relationship with Daniel Strunk, there is the will of Abraham Strunk in Hardin County, KY which names Daniel Strunk as Abraham's brother and Caty, Teny, Polly, and ELizabeth as sisters to Abraham. I have to mention that I am reading this from an e-mail abstract and have not seen the actual will. I plan to obtain a copy early this year. I am interested in where you find the name of Elizabeth Strunk and appreciate any information you can provide. Barbara Temple Group 12 Leader Member, Group 32

Mary > Is there any information on Levi or his son Isaac other than what is on the > web page? Mary, I think the web page reflects just about all we know about Levi and Isaac (1751). The items on Isaac are: ------ 1751 - Isaac Pennington b.c. 1751 (son of Levi) - date estimated by W. P. Johnson, C.G. 1771 - 1771, 4, 27. Isaac rqct Cane Creek MM, N.C. (withheld). New Garden Monthly Meeting (Quaker), Guilford Co., N. C. - Isaac Pennington requested cert. to Cane Creek Mo. Mtg.(withheld). (son of Levi). 1771 - Cumberland/Moore Cos., NC, Levi Pennington bought 200 acres from Nathan Smith 20 July 1771 on Richland Creek. Isaac Pennington was a witness. 1772 - Cumberland/Moore Cos., NC, Levi sold the above 200 acres of land to John McCloud on 1 December 1772. The deed was signed by both Levi and Martha (her mark) Pennington. 1774 - Cumberland/Moore Cos., NC, Levi witnessed a deed of Joseph Duckworth to John HARDEN on 24 Oct 1774. (All from Cumberland Co. records.) 1774 - NOTE - The above three entries for 1771, 1772, and 1774 are from "Miscellaneous Ancient Records of Moore Co., NC," by Rassie E. Wicker, who worked as a land surveyor in that area all of his life. Randolph was right on the border of Cumberland/Moore County. 1775 - 1775, 2, 4. Isaac roc. Cane Creek Monthly Meeting (Quaker), Alamance Co., N.C. - Isaac Pennington received on certificate. 1775 - 1775, 6, 3. Isaac dis mou. Cane Creek Monthly Meeting (Quaker), Alamance Co., N.C. - Isaac Pennington disowned for marriage out of unity. 1785 - Tax List Randolph Co., N. C. Levi Pennington, Sr. 300 acres - 1 white poll - one black poll - on Deep River. Levi Pennington, Jr. 110 acres - one white poll - on Deep River. Isaac Pennington 250 acres - 1 white poll (this line crossed out in the original. WPJ). William Perry Johnson did this research proving that these two Levis were father and son. Whether the "Sr." & "Jr." were used in the original records is unknown. (Penny Floyd). ------ We have noted that Levi Sr. in his WILL of 1789/90 gave 110 acres of land to Levi Jr., however, he did not give any land to Isaac. You will note the two entries above for 1771 and 1772 where Levi bought 200 acres of land and then in 1772 he and Martha sold that same 200 acres. My *speculation* is that this land was bought for Isaac (he was a witness on the purchase), however something happened and the land was sold. At the time of the purchase, Isaac was apparently about 21 years of age and may have just married. There was a Ruth Pennington who we speculate may have been Isaac's daughter. Did Isaac's (first) wife die in childbirth?? We also note that Isaac was "disowned by the Quakers for marriage out of unity" in 1775. Was this his second marriage?? In 1785 tax list Isaac apparently owned (or had owned) 250 acres of land in Randolph Co. - maybe he moved again since that line was crossed out in the original. It is possible that Levi Sr. bought this 250 acres and gave it to Isaac before 1785 and thus did not mention it in his will. There are reports of another female in this area b.c. 1790's who may have also been Isaac's daughter?? I am afraid this raises more questions about Isaac than answers but maybe this will stimulate some thinking and digging among our Group VI researchers.

I have never seen her associated with STRUNK, however, **speculation** includes BEESON, RAY, and ROBBINS. Of course, at this point, her maiden name could be almost anything.

Hello Penningtons: I posted this yesterday and I heard from so many out there as to where I got my information from so I will send it again as I received it. My cousin that lives in Oklahoma looks up census records for me. This is what he sent. In the 1900 census of Leflore County, Indian Territory. Household #241, Jane Penington b March 1870 in MO. parents b Kansas and Nebraska, It does not show who Jane's husband was. A son Henry b 2/1890 in Indian Territory, a son George b 12/1894 in Indian Territory, and a stepson John b 8/1880 in Texas, parents born in Tennessee and Texas. Household # 142 I have, Phillip Penington b 4/1866 in Alabama. parents born in Alabama, his wife Ellen b 8/1866 in Arkansas, both parents born in Alabama, a daughter Almeda b 8/1890 in Indian Territory, another daughter May L. b 1/1893 in Indian Territory, and another daughter Rosa M. b 9/1895 in Indian Territory. also in the same household is Callie E. South(mother of Phillip Penington), b 8/1849 in Arkansas, her parents both born in Alabama and Arkansas. Lila Pennington (sister of Phillip Penington, b 12/1864 ), Walter Fannin (nephew of Phillip Penington, b 10/1897 North Carolina, his parents were born in Alabama and Arkansas),and Lynn Howard Pennington( nephew of Phillip Penington, b 7/1879 in Arkansas), I hope this helps someone.

And then there is my lonely little Edward Pennington b. about 1797 or so (perhaps in VA) who first appears in 1820 census for Ashe Cty with a young wife and one small son. I also found him in 1850 census for Watauga Cty (same area) at 54 as a farmer with wife Lucinda and two children at home yet: Irina/Irene and Isaac. I believe they also had a daughter named Emeline. Surely they did not drop from outter space! I have looked for two years now to no avail. I am not sure I belong to Group 7 or not. I hope to be adopted in 2000!

Dear Donna and other Group "7"... Send your "Wish list" to me directly...I will then assemble the info. As some of you know...I have been collecting info from group members about their Penningtons. I have inputted them as sources within my gedcom and if they gave me sources I have done that as well. I think that this has actually been fairly successfull...If you have been keeping an eye on the Pennington web site...you will find that I have uncovered some new and problematic info. Let me tell you what the status is that I know right now... Micajah Pennington and Rachel Jones: There are proven parents for Micajah and Rachel...I, personally believe that Micajah is Benajah's son as do many others. The Ancestral file offers Ann Dibble and Hezekiah Jones as Rachel Jones parents...still definitely not proven. Elijah Pennington...we have a wedding date with Susannah Kelly but no further info on them. (There is part of my wish list) Micajah Pennington, Jr....we certainly have some very good information on this family but the majority is from Margaret Pennington Parson's line and Charles Pennington's family. There is definitely room for work with this family...I think that he probably had several more children and I suspect that some of our other groups in Ashe Co. NC and Lee Co., VA are probably connected through either Micajah or Levi Pennington. (This is a personal opinion...not proven information) Mary Pennington...There is more and more info emerging about the Bollings...we've also found some interconnections with some of the other Pennington families...I'm still gathering info...I will be updating the web site soon on this family line. Levi Pennington is my personal ancestor...he also seems to be one of the mysterious ones. We don't have a definite list of children for him. The only child that we have relatively sure of is Levi Pennington (Jr.) for our purposes...he, of course has an extensive list of children...I would like to see a will for Levi Pennington...that would certainly clear up some issues on this line...it would be in either Wilkes Co., NC or Ashe Co., NC. Edward Pennington....I think that many of the group 7 members of the past have been descended from Edward Pennington...he certainly seems to be the most long-lived. Lee County, VA has done a very good job documenting this family. Anyway...this line is probably the most "fully" formed in terms of info....there is still work to be done...OF COURSE! Elizabeth Pennington - Her application for a pension for her husband is probably one of the best preserved documents for this family group. We have a copy of the bible that provided the dates and names of all of the Pennington family. (the first generation) Of late, I've been able to piece together some of her family info based on the 1850 census. Would like one of the descendants of this family to join the PRA...would probably add some important info. Sarah Pennington. We have some new info on the Barger family that intermarries with Mary Pennington's descendants. However, as we all know...the Johnson surname is very difficult to research...I know this from personal experience. We need further info on this family...perhaps a copy of the Pension application of Sarah's husband, Samuel Johnson would be valuable...hint, hint! Johanna Pennington...I've been able to fill out some of the info on Johanna's line also based on the 1850 census. Still...it would be great to be able to find a descendant of this line. Benajah Pennington....This is probably the most problematic family group. Many of the members of Group 7 who are descended from Benajah are probably descended not from a son of Micajah Pennington...but rather a son of Benajah Pennington. This is definitely a family that needs a great deal more work. The other Benajah that is a son of Micajah exists somewhere with his own family info...that family line and its info is definitely on my wish list... Rachel Pennington...I think that she must have died young...I've seen no further info on her beyond the mention in the bible record...it would be great to have proof of this...however! I think that Group 7 should be changed to reflect some of the newer info. For example, even though Micajah is not a proven son of Benajah Pennington...I believe that he is almost certainly Benajah's son. I would like to see Group 7 listed as descendants of Benajah Pennington and Micajah Pennington...Please remember that this is a personal opinion...I would however, like to hear some feed back. We need to work at sharing info and cooperation with one another. As always...please keep an eye on the Pennington Page for Group 7...if you've never visited...there are old family pictures, data, and I try to post the newer info on each family group on this page. If you have comments, info to add, or problems with any of the info...please let me know. Happy New Year!

Hi - Carmen and all group "7", I really think this is a great idea, Carmen. Carmen, perhaps as our leader, you might devise a system where each subject(individual or individuals)can be discuss on their own or our "wish list" sent separately. I make this point because we end up with so much duplicated material printed, as we add on. Perhaps this isn't possible or too timely to do. I recognize that it is great when the first round of information is tied together, but we should be able to arrange our inputs in some way that they can be copied and filed by name or lineage line without so much duplication. What other suggestions do you other members have? Donna Selke ([email protected]) >From: "Carmen M.
