Oops, I wrote the genealogy in reverse order from my father -- so Andy was father of Samuel who was father of Wm ROBY, who was father of Willie Monroe (Bill), my father. Sorry for confusing people. As of now information given to me through J French shows Andy's father to be Abram (or Abraham), brother of Abel -- the Grp 30 beginning.

Hi, I thought I'd add, after re-reading Martha's message, that Samuel of Group 12 also reportedly had descendents with these names which are quite similar to Martha's folks: Wlliam Roby Weaver, Philip Monroe Pennington, Elbert Roby Pennington, and William Troy Pennington. With all these similarities, it would be hard to believe they are not connected. Let me know, folks. Barbara J. Temple Leader Group 12 Member Group 32 [email protected]

Dear Martha, I am the leader of Group 12, Samuel of Ashe Co.NC (and Grayson Co. VA) and noted your mention of a Samuel in your message. If you have discussed this on the list before, do you mind talking with me off the list? If it is not repetitive to the list, please share on the list. Who is the Samuel who was listed in your message as father of Andy Pennington? To the list members, I have only one other person in my group and am depending on her and non-12-members (Carolyn Gober, Rick Pennington whose help has been invaluable) for most of my group information. Anyone at all who is interested in Samuel Pennington contact me please. His descendents reportedly married the following folks: John Weaver, William Kilby, Charity Perkins, John Weiss, Almeda Grubbs, and others. The names Monnroe and Roby as middle names are represented among his grandchildren. Group 12's Samuel's family lived in Ashe Co. NC and Grayson and Lee Counties, VA. Thank you very kindly, Barbara J. Temple Group 12 Leader Member Group 32 [email protected]

Sue, It would be good to see the will of Morgan Lewis. As nobody has spoke up and said they have it, verify for me that it is in Surry Co. Let me know what your "Virginia Wills and Administrations" book says, and I'll get a copy of the will unless it's easy for you to do. I'll have to order the film so it'll take a few weeks, but at least then we'll have it. And you are right, Robert Andrews would be the husband of John, and Edward's half sister. I guess my brain had faded before yours last night when I referred to Robert as their uncle. Steve P "Sue H.

As for writing the summary, I don't think I have all of the information yet. For sure, I don't have the will of Lewis, and it might give some more information that would help the case we're trying to build.

Hi, Looking through my "Virginia Wills and Administrations" book, there is a Morgan Lewis who died in 1677 (or would that have been when the will was written?). Anyway, if our died then, or not long after, this would have left Sarah time to marry Thomas, and have that oldest son, Thomas, in 1682-83. Has anyone seen a copy of Lewis's will? We really need to take a look at it, don't you think? I have a question, and perhaps there is someone more acquainted with wills, etc. who could give us an answer. If Morgan Lewis died young, and left an orphan, wouldn't his estate continue until the child was "of age?" For instance, IF Sarah had a child about 1675, that child would turn 21 about 1696. That's the year that the children were in court vs. Tho: Peddenton & Sarah his wife. I was wondering if the estate of Lewis could not be completed as long as the children were "orphans" (or underage). And it seems as though I'd heard somewhere that the way the children eventually got their legal inheritance once they were old enough, was to do it through the court system. Maybe there was no dispute between Sarah and her daughters, but that was just the way the transfer was made. I would love to hear if anyone knows about such things. I noticed that Thomas's estate (d. 1701/2) was not completely finished (as far as I could see) until 1707. I wonder if the three boys were finally of age by that time. This was an account of the estate of Thomas Pidington, deceased, and signed by Abbegell Middleton (mark). > Edward and John wished to be raised by their uncle, or more > likely, his wife, the sister of their mother, rather than their step mother > and her new husband. Wasn't Robert Andrews the one chosen as Guardian? And this is the man married to Ann, daughter of Morgan Lewis, deceased? Wouldn't Ann probably be Sarah's daughter by Morgan Lewis? And wouldn't this make Robert Andrews the husband of Thomas Pennington's half-sister? Gee, it's about midnight, and my brain is s-l-o-w. Sue

But if the information is in a book, the author had to have seen it somewhere, and that's what I like to use as a source. I'm sorry, but I don't have any information on the birthdate/place of Thomas (d. 1701/2). I haven't started looking in that direction yet. I am like Reginald, in that there does not seem to be absolute definite proof of the fact that Thomas, son of Thomas (1701/2), is the same Thomas that was the father of John George. I imagine that it is so, but I wanted to gather every bit of information I could find on the Penningtons in that time and area, and look at all of it. A summary needs to be written showing the various steps in drawing the conclusion that the published material seems to be correct. Remember the information I sent in about proving that Martha Harper was the "Martha" in John George's will? In order to prove it, I went to two other sources, and showed it beyond a doubt. I would like to have a step-by-step process just like that with the Thomas-Thomas-John George line. So, I guess that would be the very first thing I'd like to accomplish. Perhaps if several of us got something written up it would be easier for everyone to follow, and we could put this question aside, and move along to something else. I have been negligent in the past about collecting data on the various siblings of the direct line, and that is also something that I need to work on. I have a feeling that the rest of you have been gathering that all along, so you're definitely ahead of me there! Any direction you wish to go, I'm willing to work. It will benefit all of us, I'm sure, as we all seem to have bits and pieces that could be helpful to others. Sue

Hi Steve< Do you happen to know where the names of the sons of Thomas Pidington d.- 1701/2 are found? His will dated 13 Feb 1701/2 names only his eldest son, Tho. Piddington. One place was probably the papers changing their guardian, to which you referred . Do you have reference two where these papers can be found? Reg Vassar

Sue, Primary sources should be the goal of all researchers in my mind. However secondary sources do have their place as a tool and a step towards the complete picture. I continually use secondary sources to point me to the primary source. Secondary sources are more likely to be indexed or provide some other means to quickly find what one may be looking for. Because of mistakes there is the possibility that something is missed, so they should not be used as "gospel". But I don't have any problem with properly noting what they are and listing them in the interim until the actual primary source can be viewed. My Privett line is a roadblock for me as I've not been able to find the parents of my gg grandfather. And from censuses I have three different states that he was born in. So I'm going through secondary sources looking for little leads. From many of those leads, I've exhausted rolls and rolls of primary sources to no avail. But without the secondary sources to point me at least to counties, I'd be throwing darts. One of my ambitions with Group 10 is to create a complete file of all branches with primary sources. I'm sure that there are a few researchers who have thoroughly gone through the process we just went through of pulling out, reviewing and discussing all available material to reach the same conclusions we have. The info I sent out to just the Group 10 researchers in Aug. had the same conclusions we've reached. But unfortunately at that time, most things were sourced as PP articles. Ideally, people can properly document and share these conclusions so the time can be more efficiently spent looking for yet to be discovered documents and focusing on unsolved mysteries rather than resolving the same mystery. So where shall we go next? Is there much on the birth date and location of Thomas (d 1701/02)? There seems to be thought that he was either born in VA or came from Ulverstone, Lancaster Co. England. The other option, which will probably have more info is one of the lines of Thomas's son. I'd propose Thomas at this time, just because he's the oldest. Steve P. "Sue H.

Don't be surprised to see other records written in different books from old courthouses. I've seen duplicate material entered in books from Henrico Co., VA. also. My own personal policy is that I do not use books as sources. I've seen too many mistakes and omissions in them. Plus, we all make mistakes. Authors are no exception. Going back to the original source is simply the best thing to do every single time. I guess this belief is why I felt so strongly that Carolyn should not be removed from the other Pennington list. She was always trying to get people to document their material. It's nice to see Group 10 discussing the things that we're unsure about, or "how do we know.....?" Pooling resources is bound to benefit everyone. Sue

Sue, Thank you for clarifying that. That just supports the old addage about assume... and I was the one who assumed. This feeds right into a next step I'd like to see taken. As we reach conclusions with these issues, I'd like to see a Family Group Sheet based file for group 10 that is uploaded to a web site. In addition to having the information properly sourced, which is a shortcoming for most information found on the internet and other publications, I'd like to see electronic images of the primary sources. The concept and technical aspects of this are quite simple. The only thing it requires is a collection of the electronic images. If any researcher doesn't have the capability to scan copies, I'm sure we can get photocopies scanned to electronic images. Steve P. "Sue H. Gill" wrote: > > Absolutely not a source from a book!!!!!

I sat for several weeks going through a microfilm of the Court Orders, most of which was written in old English, and at first glance looks like nothing I'd ever seen before. I got most of the information I submitted last night from that one film. It is a true source. The one of the sons selecting a guardian is "Surry County, Va.

I have Surry Co.

May 1703 Based on one of Sue's responses yesterday, she has Surry County Court Orders, 1691-1713, page 241. May Court 1703. Edward and John Pedington the sons of Thomas Pedington deceased, making choice of Robert Andrews for their guardian.... I suspect that the refrence Sue makes is a book that someone transcribed from the original court records. Hence the page and title differnces, not to mention the corrected spelling of "sonnes". I'd like to see copies of originals if possible, but I don't know if those are even available....

Hi Steve, Do we have a record (marriage license, deed, court suite, etc that states Thomas Pennigton who married Abigal was a widower of Sarah (George) Lewis? What record do we use to substantiate this. It is some what odd that two daughters and their husbands would take their mother to court cocerning their father's estate, 18 years after his death, but it could happen I suppose. It seems record have been referred to during this discussion that Thomas Pennington married Sarah (George) Lewis. Also Thomas Pidingtond.- 1701/2 married Abigail, and in 1701/1 had three under age sons, the eldest being Tho; Piddington. >From the records I have seen referred to, do not prove that Thomas Pennington and Thomas Pidington are the same man. We can assume it, because it appears logical and other genealogist thought it to be the case. I have two different genaealogies giving the descendants of Thomas Pennington; One by Kelly Frirtz sent to me by Nelda Smith. This report records that Thomas Pennington d.- 1701/1702 married Sarah George by whom he had these Children: Thomas Pennington, Jr; Edward Pennington (married Tabitha; and John Pennington (married Phyllis Forte). The other By Francis n. Clark that records: Thomas Pennington I (will dated 13 Feb 1701/02, recorded 1702, Surry Co., Va) married Abigail by whom he had the following children: Thomas Pennington II, d.- 1727 inSurry Co.,Va, and Edward Pennington. (John Pennington was not mentioned) The will does not mention John Pennington as a son, so this genealogist did not give the name of the third son. The one by Kelly Fritz gives no sources. The one by Francis N. Clark references the will in Surry co will book 5, pg 246. It seems to me if we lack a source we should state some thing like "records indicate this but a source has not been found". Reg Vassar

I do not believe we have ONE record that substantiates Thomas marrying Sarah, then Abigail. We have the SUM of the records from which we make conclusions based on what is there. It was believed by many for some time, and published I might add, that the children of Thomas: Thomas, Edward and John were the sons of Abigail. That was until additional evidence was found that caused some rethinking of the conclusion. That will always happen with genealogy or any forensic type work. And just because it's been published by the PRA, Bodie, Kelly Frirtz, Nelda Smith or anyone else doesn't make it absolute. I'm still going to draw my own conclusion based on the evidence. I don't see the action between the daughters and mother/step-father unusual if Sarah was ill and they were looking to bring their father's properties back into their hands rather than let them fall under the umbrella of their step father Thomas. We do not know what Morgan Lewis's will said, nor do we have any deed information that sheds light on the the possible exhange of property. I guess a very prudent researcher would extract the information regarding Morgan Lewis, and any additional information regarding the actions between Sarah George and her daughters. I'd support anyone who wished to make that effort. When we look at all the other documents, we do not find two wills for a Thomas Pennington with sons names Thomas, Edward and John. We do not have anything that shows a conflict with the idea that Thomas married first Sarah then Abigail. We do find however, shortly after the death of Thomas, a petition from Thomas, Edward and John to change their legal guardianship. Edward and John wished to be raised by their uncle, or more likely, his wife, the sister of their mother, rather than their step mother and her new husband. We don't have a document that says they are the same 3 young men reffered to in the will we have for Thomas, but it's safely assumed that their deceased father Thomas is indeed the same Thomas that died 1701/02 and mentions his wife Abigail. Therefore based on the sum of the documents, I feel confident in stating that there was one Thomas who married Sarah George then Abigail ___ . In one's sources and personal notes, it does make sense to reiterate that this conclusion is based on the sum of the evidence which in turn leaves the door open to make changes. But changes should not be that egregious. How many times have researchers found someone listed as 27 in one census, and then as 35 in the census 10 years later. They both are documents, but what do we do now? Research other documents and see what is supported. I personally have found ages that translate to 3 different birth dates for some of my ancestors. But when the children and wife and occupation are all the same, it has to be the same person. I think this is the same type of thing here. A wonderful thing about genealogy and again any forensic type work, is that different people can draw different conclusions from the same information. I choose to support the idea that there is only one Thomas with 3 sons rather than two Thomas's who happened to name at least two of their three sons the same. The population in Surry Co at the turn of the 18th century was quite small. The odds of this discussion centering on two Thomas's rather than just one are extremely small in my mind. I'm probably more likely to win the Lottery <G> Steve P REGINALD L VASSAR wrote: > > Hi Steve, > Do we have a record (marriage license, deed, court suite, etc that > states Thomas Pennigton who married Abigal was a widower of Sarah > (George) Lewis?

Hi Sue, I agree Thomas Piddington, the eldest son ot Thomas Pidington d.- 1701/2 must have a birth date 1682/83. His father will indicate he was the eldest son but under age, which was probably 21?, in 1701/2. Then the court order which you referred to, Surry Co. (1691-1713, pg 230, Nov 1702 (I have not seen) indicates he was very near 20. If this Thomas Piddington married Sarah (George) Lewis,and then Abigail he must not have been married to Abigail but 3 or 4 years before his death., since Sarah (George) Lewis was living in 1696 as shown below. Sarah George married Morgan Lewis and had at least two doughters as pointed out in your e-mail. The daughters had a difference with their mother and went to court in July 1696. The difference must have been regarding Morgan Lewis's estate since the order mentioned Morgan Lewis' widow. You would assume that Morgan Lewis had not been dead many years. If he died around 1690 Sarah must have still been married to Morgan. If Thomas Piddongton was born, as we said above, in 1682/83. WHO WAS HIS MOTHER? Sarah was still married to Morgan Lewis and Thomas Piddington d.1701/2 had not married Abigail until after Sarah (George)(Lewis)Pennington's death which was after 1696. IT SORT OF LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE TWO THOMAS PENNINGTONS. Does any one know when Morgan Lewis died? When did Sarah George married Thomas Pennington? Reg Vassar

Sarah George had already married Thomas Pennington when her father's will was written in 1678. I show that Thomas married Sarah about 1677-1678 and he married Abigail aft July 1696. I do not see how any of this points to two Thomas Penningtons except for the father son combination that's been well published. Steve P.

Hello List, I just joined the list because I have been trying to find a person named Bill Pennington possibly from the Boston area. He made a posting in 1998 to a List and left this address -- [email protected] He no longer has that address and mindspring is unable to give me any info. He posted a message asking for info on my GGrandmother, Hannah DeWolfe. He seemed to have a lot of info on my family and I suspect that he is a lost cousin. I, too, grew up in the Boston area where my Grandfather and his mother Hannah lived. If any of you know who this person is please ask him to contact me. Best Regards, Richard McGuinness, Auburn, Maine
