I saw Bob Pennington's recent post concerning the Joshua Pennington line. I am a descendent of that line and have been doing research. Does anyone know if Fran Laaker is still active in genealogy. I would like to ask her about some of her sources. She has, for instance, Uriah listed as the youngest son of Joshua. However a history of the Plumlee family (Uriah's wife), lists Uriah as the son of Anthony, and therefore a grandson of Joshua. Some of the other children, such as Judah, are incorrect, I believe. Also, the half-brother situation with Anthony and Timothy. Were the first children by a first wife and later children by a second wife? I have many questions and would love to hear from her or anyone else who is researching this line. Wilfred Pennington unclwil@midwest.net

I have discovered yet another David Pennington, b. 1846 (just a year or so off from David, son of Charles in Micajah's line!). This David is the son of Nelson Pennington b. abt. 1798 in Montgomery County, NC and Rebecca Carter b. 1810 in same county. Nelson was the son of Kirchin Pennington. So again, here is a David who could be the father of my great-grandfather. I suspect this is a different line altogether. Would anyone know which of the 27 PRA family groups has research on Nelson and Kirchin? Appreciatively, Linda Koenig

Am looking for the bpt. of Hannah Pennington who married Charles Wear Poppleton in 1786 at Staveley, nr. Knaresborough, Yks. From the marriage entry it would appear that Hannah had two brothers, William and Thomas. Would be glad to hear from anyone who has Pennington ancestors in the Knaresborough area of Yorkshire.

Thanks for checking, Maxine. I do appreciate it.

Linda, I found the David Pennington you were asking about, but I am sorry there was no more information about him. I wish I could give you the whole story but I know no way to find anything about him. Maybe someone else will let you know. Good luck and thanks for your reply, Maxine

My great-grandfather was David Pennington, probably b. abt. 1870, whose family originally came from Lee Co. Va./W.Va. He settled at some point in LaRue Co., Ky. We suspect he descended from Micajah Pennington's line. In two GEDCOM files I located a David Pennington born of that line in 1845 or 1847, son of Charles Pennington b. 1804. Neither of these files followed David's line any further, but he'd be just the right age to be my David's father. Does anyone have a record of such a link? If so, I'd be very grateful to hear from you. Linda Koenig

Please list responses to the list so all can see. I sent out a request when PRA was still on the Indiana host, but got no responses. Maybe if the list went out to the entire membership, someone may respond who would not otherwise. Thanks for all your good work. Sallie Pennington-Owenby

Hello, Laura! I don't think there can be any connection. I have Nancy Pennington (b. 25 Mar 1844 in Illinois) married George Cridlebaugh and their g-grandaughter married a Turner in Nebraska. Also, my Turners (husband's line) went from NY to Nebraska and were never in Kentucky. In Kentucky, I am researching my lines: Ball and Dyer. Sorry.

My Baker line is John Renta Baker and his daughter Mary "Polly" Baker who married James Turner.

Is this the correct address to send queries to the list? In the instructions that I received, the address pennington@rmgate.pop.indiana.edu is listed with maiser@ the same for commands. Can someone assist? Bill Pennington(bpboston@mindspring.com)

Please do post the replys to the list as well. I have also picked up a lot of connections not from a query, but from someone else's response.

I am a descendent of Micajah Pennington through his daughter Mary Pennington 1765NC-1843 who married Rev. Jesse Bolling 1758NC-1841 Breathitt Co., KY. Jesse was the son of Benjamin Bolling of Wise Co., VA. There has been much controversy over whether or not Benjamin was the son of Major John Bolling born c1699 in "Cobbs", Henrico Co., VA. I have been in touch with Mr. Bud Bolling of the Bolling Family Association and he assures me that the committee working on this line can find nothing to substantiate Benjamin's being the son of Major John. He said the committee has stacks of information sent in to them from many sources and none of it is proof. They have worked diligently for a long time on this. As you probably know, Major John Bolling was a descendant of Pocahontas which can be proved. I do not care one way or another. All I would like to know is the truth. Please let me know how you are connected to the above families and I will be glad to exchange information. Maxine Bowling Friedly

I am a Pennington who married a Burns whose great grandmother was a Bolling. I have bolling information but it was given to me and I haven't researched it to see how true it is.

Curious where the Bolling/Pennington link goes back to Pocahontas. My Bolling legend says the same thing re:Pocohantas but haven't been able to confirm the parentage of my Bolling ancestor. This information may provide valuable clues!! Thanks, LauraDee
