Hi, I'm just now getting back to gathering proof for the maiden names. The above Mary is sometimes said to be Mary Allen, daughter of Arthur Allen and his wife, Katherine Baker. In other data, I simply see "Mary" or Mary ? I have an abstract of Arthur Allens' will, and he names children: James, Joseph, Arthur, John, Elizabeth Bridger (m. to Wm. Bridger), Katherine, Ann, MARY; also nephew Joseph Bridger; sisters: Jean Proctor and Elizabeth Jackman; grandchildren: Joseph, Martha, William, and Samuell Bridger. Written 1709; Probated 1710. In 1711, the above son, James Allen, died. He mentioned brothers Arthur, John, and Joseph; mother Katherine Allen; cousin: Arthur Bridger; sisters: Elizabeth Bridger, Ann Allen, and MARY Allen. Also Margaret Coker, wife of John Coker. No doubt that this James is the son of Arthur. In 1735, there is the will of Elizabeth Allen. Mentions friend, Thomas Alstin; Hannah Seward; Ann Collier; Mary Penington; Mary Knot; Thomas Hawkes; Goddaughter, Elizabeth Evans. Exec: Thos. Alstin. Mary Pennington appears. Is there other information that shows the link to Arthur Allen? The only thing I can see is that Arthur had daughters named Mary and Ann, and Elizabeth Allen did mention an Ann, and a Mary. In fact, she mentioned TWO Marys ( Pennington and Knot ). This Elizabeth Allen who died can not be the daughter of Arthur, since that Elizabeth was already married to a Bridger..... unless she was born an Allen, married a Bridger, and then married an Allen. Doesn't seem likely. When Thomas Pennington died (husband of Mary) one of the witnesses was a Thomas Allstin. This may be the same one in Elizabeth Allen's will. But does that prove that Mary was an Allen? Unfortunately, Elizabeth Allen did not mention relationships, except that Thomas Alstin was a friend. So, we don't know if Mary Pennington was related to her, or was a friend also, or a neighbor. Cousin? Evidently not a sister. Unless Mary and Elizabeth were daughters of a different set of parents? Is there some other missing piece of information? The only thing I have here are the abstracts of those few wills. I am also interested in the Tabitha Niblet who witnessed Elizabeth Allen's will. Does anyone know who she is? I would appreciate any help! Thanks. Sue

I received this from another list. Thought I would pass this one on. -------Original Message------- From: Date: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 08:14:28 AM To: Subject: [ILVERMIL] A Genealgoist's Nightmare-Good Laugh " A GENEALOGIST'S NIGHTMARE " Dear Cousin, In response to your letter, I am sorry to inform you that grandpa " Fred" died some time back and the stuff you asked about is not available. The personal property the family did not want was sold at an estate sale. All those boxes of junk did not interest a single buyer. We were able to salvage several binders for the kids homework after we sent all the paper to the incinerator. The kids really complained bout having to lug all that paper and pictures of those ugly old folks to the dumpster. An old family Bible from the 1840's did bring $5.00. The one from the1870's did not sell. There also was a bunch of floppy disks that we were able to reformat and download some games for the kids to play on their new playstation. At least SOMEBODY got some good from the three generations work. I saw the fellow at a flea market a couple of weeks ago and he said he threw the Bible in the trash after nobody was interested in it. He said he got an offer for fifty cents for it, but would rather burn it than give it away. He seemed to be having a lot of success with some very nice Elvis paintings at his booth. The two aunts you asked about are also dead. They were such a delight and could talk all day long about the things papa had written about. I remember them saying something about some records that were copied from two courthouses that later burned. Neither ever wrote down a single thing. The letter you referred to was one he typed up and sent to lots of folks who wrote him. He laughed about them never getting any of his hard work as well as his Fathers and Grandfather who was in the Civil War. He guarded all the information carefully to the bitter end. I wish I could remember some of the things to help you, but I was bored to tears listening to them talk about the family members who were in the civil war and those silly pieces of paper he showed so proudly. I vaguely remember they had some beeswax seals and something to do with the land grants that were destroyed in the courthouse fires. I wish I could remember the story about his grandfathers evening with Jefferson Davis when he was on the run. There are also some very juicy stories that were handed down, but I don't remember them very well. Another thing I remember after he got sick was some fellow calling him and he agreed to let him come down and copy all his material. He told him he would call him back when he felt better. Papa mentioned something about letting the society the man was from have all his work SINCE NOBODY IN THE FAMILY CARED anything about a bunch of people who had been dead for 200 years. -- Papa died the next week. I am so sorry papa and the two generations WASTED so much of their life on such WORTHLESS HOBBIES and hope your family will follow something more interesting. We enjoy Bingo and bowling very much here in Pleasantville. I really enjoyed hearing from a long lost cousin and would like to hear back if you find anything important. The kids need the computer for their games and I need to go watch the "Millionaire" show.

Is this William the brother of John George Pennington? WILLIAM PENNINGTON WILL SEPTEMBER 23, 1783 BRUNSWICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA Will Book 2 pp. 259-261 A son, Sack Pennington is mentioned in the will. Is this that Sack? Brunswick Co. SACK PENNINGTON, Will written 1788; recorded Brunswick County Court, December 22, 1795. Need information regarding the above William and Sack Pennington. Thanks. Sue

Hi, Philip Pennington married Patty Floyd in 1787 in Mecklenburg Co., VA. Who were Patty's parents? There was a Charles Floyd of Brunswick Co., VA., whose 1795 will mentioned his daughter "Patsey Pennington." Is this the same person? Need parents of Patty Floyd, who m. Philip Pennington in 1787. If Patty is not Patsey, who was Patsey's husband? Thanks, Sue

Sue, Based on "Nottingham, Stratton. Marriage License Bonds of Mecklenburg County, Virginia from 1765 to 1810. Onancock, VA: Stratton Nottingham, 1928" and the will of Charles, I have assumed the Patsey was indeed Patty as you indicate. And when looking further, the only Penningtons I find in the area of the appropriate generation are Joel (1744-?) Robert (1748-1818), Sack (1749-?), Timothy (1753-?), John (1744-?) and a David (1760-?) who I don't have spouses for. While I can't say it's absolute, and there is room for evidence to the contrary, I do believe Patsey is the the same Patty that was the first wife of Phillip.

Steve, I do not know of any list of who is buried there except for the book below: ARZ++ (Pennington) (Foster, J. Pedigree of Sir Josslyn Pennington) Author Foster, Joseph, 1844-1905. Title Pedigree of Sir Josslyn Pennington, fifth baron Muncaster of Muncaster and ninth baronet. Comp. chiefly from deeds and charters in H.M. record office, by Joseph Foster ... Imprint London, Priv. print. at the Chiswick Press, 1878. This is the call number from the NY Public Library but the book is found in the library of congress also. You might try a Cumbria Family History Society on the web. They frequently sell microfiche of burial inscriptionsfor different churches.

I'm interested in trying to find the marriage of Gladys Lehr Pennington Richards to Dr. William R. Richards probably between 1940 and 1970. I'm interested in finding the marriage of Phyliss Pennington to Roy L. Moss probably between 1920 and 1980. They were probably both in the Lousiville, KY area. At a brick wall. Thank You. Sandy. Also can you tell me how I can get a copy of the marriage license and their death certificates when I locate the dates. Also can you tell me the address of the public library in Louisville, KY. Thanks, Sandy

Hi everyone, The Kentucky marriages have been moved to my new server. I will email those who are wanting the new website so please email me directly. I feel that posting a domain name to the email lists people tend to get offended and I have seen many flame others who no longer host their personal websites on sites such as rootsweb but their own domain name. I think many people get offended because they feel that posting a domain URL other than one hosted on rootsweb is trying to steal business. I in that case am not. But out of respect just email me and I will email the url to you.

Kristie, Don't be concerned about posting URL to this list. If the site has Pennington information, it's appropriate to share regardless of who the host is. I welcome sharing of all URL's with Pennington info as it not only helps those currently subscribed, but also puts the URL in the archives for others to find. Thanks for the work to make the information available to all. Steve P Pennington Listowner Kristie Setser wrote: >Hi everyone, > >The Kentucky marriages have been moved to my new server.

I know nothing of what you are speaking of here, but would like to say something..this man in the nursing home you say has his wits, well, do both of you a favor and go interview him and write or record everything about family he will tell you. You will be doing him a great deed and your descendants. The company you give him will more tan compensate for what he offers. Don't wait until the history is destroyed. I find all these little notes very interesting. Enjoy and thank you for posting. My Dad is in a nursing home and he does not remember where he came from or his family after we go out the door..but years ago, I took up recording interviews and I now have many to reflect on while enduring this great change in him. That Daddy that raised me is not there anymore, but in my heart , he will always be......Take care of your family in more ways than one.. Sadie Stamper Greer, reading with great interest.

He is a tough man, has all his whit about him and is very able to move around. Most of you who are aware of Monroe County or live there know about the pipeline explosion some years back. The William Pennington I speak of who is at the nursing home lost his wife and 3 children in the explosion. It is said after the accident William went traveling about and upon returning he didn't have a home so he has since been living at the nursing home.
