Hello folks, My maiden name was PENNINGTON and I am new to this list. I have very few facts, but have been told that my grandfather, JOHN PENNINGTON, sailed from England about 1875 to visit his uncle who lived in Louisiana. His uncle wanted him to make his home with him, and in return he would leave him all his land and money. John had a young lady back home so didn't stay in the US. I know it is a long shot, but does anyone know of a PENNINGTON in Louisiana about 1875? Regards, Penny Minikin, Cleveleys, England
