Hi Lori, In a message dated 7/18/97 1:49:02 AM, you wrote: <<Her Father was William Hyland Pennington supposedly born in Deleware >> Please send me all the information you have handy on this P. Hyland is a given name found among our Penningtons in Monroe Co., VA/WV between 1800 - 1830. And our Group 26 progenitor, William Pennington, Sr. (c1750-1821) of Monroe Co., VA/WV was probably born in either DE or MD, so the links have intrigued me. If there is no link, I can put in touch with folks who have researched the DE Penningtons clans a fair amount. Ric Blake 123 Fieldstone Drive, Londonderry, NH 03053-2709

Hi all Looking for info on the PENNINGTON family of Fannin County, TX. My ggg grandmother was named Holly PENNINGTON b 1 May 1815 SC d 1 Mar 1860 Collin County, TX m 1 Mar 1840 Fannin County, TX Harrison STANFORD b 10 July 1817 TN d 15 Aug 1888 Johnson County, TX. Also in Fannin County were Jemima PENNINGTON and Elias PENNINGTON. I believe that Jemima was the mother of Elias and Holly. Jemima married William KERLEY 21 Feb 1849 in Fannin County and her tombstone (in Collin County) shows her b 23 Aug 1789 d 20 Sept 1858. Elias owned property in Fannin County next to Harrison STANFORD. He is shown in the 1850 Fannin County Census: E.G. PENNINGTON age 40 m b SC J.A. age 34 f b NC Jas. 17 m TN L.E. 15 f TN S. 13 f TN C.M. 11 f TN Jno P. 10 m TX A.R. 8 f TX M.D. 6 f TX A.G. 4 f TX E.G. 2 m TX Wm H. 6 mos m TX E. CEOSLEY 19 TN It appears this PENNINGTON family probably went from SC to TN before coming to Fannin County TX. Any help appreciated. Thanks! Lauri Manda LauriMM@aol.com

Dear List Subscribers: Bayoujac asked if Pendleton is a variation of Pennington. We then got three re-sent messages saying that "no it wasn't." That is not quite correct. Pennington is a distinct surname as is Pendleton, but there are many times when the names have been substituted for one another, and there are many other substitution as well. In my own case I have found that Pennington and Pemberton -- two distinct surnames -- have been used for the same family in Baltimore County, MD, who seem to have come from the Cecil Co. Penningtons. The same thing may have happened on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with a Talbot County Quaker family. I haven't done the research on them to completely determine it. There were times when our ancestors decided they didn't want to use their surname anymore and simply changed it themselves. This may have happened because of family disputes, changes to inherit from another family, trouble with authorities, or disownment within their religion. Other more frequent changes occurred because early people didn't always write and records were kept by others. Spellings became confused and one branch of the family found themselves spelling their names differently. Your Cousin, Carolyn

I have also thought that the 2 names were derivatives of one another. I haven't been able to locate a PENDLETON mailing list, but if PENDLETON is a variation of PENNINGTON, I would like to subscribe to this one. Your friend in digging, BayouJac Genealogy. It's the only way to dig...relatively speaking!!!

One of the primary researchers for early DE and MD Penningtons is Sybil Hampton of 1007 Ivy Lane, Waldorf, MD 20602. Sybil also knows most of the others who are researching these 18 and 17 century families. Ric Blake PRA Group 26 Chair: Descendants of William Pennington, Sr. (c1750-1821) of Monroe Co., VA/WV

I would like very much to find the Family of Atkey(Adkey)Pennington b-15 Sep 1759Cecil county, MD. d-14 Feb 1800 @ Middletown, NC, DE. He married 30 Apr 1781 @ Elkton, Cecil, MD. to Martha Ryland, who later married 1 Jul 1802 to Leonard Vandegrift. She was the daughter of Fredus Ryland & Sarah ?. She died 5 Aug 1821 DE. They had three children , that I know of . They were , as follows-- Alrich(Alrick) Pennington b- 6 Jan 1786 St George's 100, NC.,DE. d-27 Nov 1842 @Port Penn, NC.,DE.buried at Old St Ann's church cem., Middletown,NC.,DE.married ca 1807 DE. to Rebecca Vandegrift b-19 Oct 1784 New Castle conty, DE. d-5 Aug 1821 @Port Penn, NC.,DE. She was the daughter of Leonard Vandegrift and Ruth Sankey She is buried @ Old Drawyers, Church cem, Odessa, NC., DE.They had five children , one of whom married my Gr. Grandfather Thomas Cleaver Price. (I have gobs, after him)I need material on the other four and their descendants.

Some say they were Benedict Pennington & Eliza ? others William & Miss Atkey. I have no proof of either . 2nd child of Atkey- Fredus R.

On page 86 of Pennington Pedigrees, Vol. 28(2), there's a blurb regarding CSA General John B. GORDON (one of the more significant confederate generals) being a grandson of Charity KING and Chapman GORDON. Charity KING was the daughter of Charity PENNINGTON and Capt. Charles KING. Charity PENNINGTON was, in turn, the daughter of Isaac PENNINGTON of SC. Thus General GORDON was a descendant of Group 8. There's a GORDON page with more info on General GORDONs line, that may be of interest to those collecting descendants for Group 8. The GORDON page is maintained by Joann GORDON and the URL is: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5917/GORDON2.HTM I've exchanged emails with Joann and am supplying her with info on Abraham and Isaac PENNINGTON of group 8, as well as info on Capt. Charles KING. The GORDON page already has mention of the General's PENNINGTON and KING ancestry. One thing I had never heard before is that King's Mountain (in NC, I think) is named for Capt. Charles KING. Regards, Rod PENNINGTON Group 8 ================= Rod Pennington Temple, TX rodpenn@sage.net

Is there anyone out there researching Pennington/Pinnington families fron Delaware, Illinois or Illinois? Don't know yet where in Delaware or Illinois , I only have the state. I do know some of the families were living on Vancouver Island B.C. around 1900. I'm just looking for info to connect my Great Grandmother Adelaide Pennington born in Illinois to the Deleware Pennington's as her father name unknown was suppose to have been born in Deleware. Lori

At the Virginia Digital Library there is a file of Confederate signatures that includes 113 Penningtons. These are actual scanned pictures of the Confederate roster cards. It can be found at http://image.vtls.com/collections/CF.html once you get to Pennington, you have to view each signature, but they are alphabetical. There is no search for the given name. -- Steve Privett mailto:eqretrodr@earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~eqretrodr/index.html
