So I am copying the KYMONROE list as it has many subscribers who are researching the Moore, Mulkey, Marrs, Pennington and so on lines, and they will probably be able to help you. It is am amazing story about how you found Sarah Jane Moore Pennington's grave: Where is it located? I do connect to one Ephram Pennington, but I'll have to check to see how. If you are not subscribed to the KYMONROE I will forward some of the messages I am getting relating to these lines. Thanks, Jemima
