According to History of Pendleton County W.Va. by Morton, 273, Richard Pennington (Eleanor) 1792 Children: Richard (Mary Bennett), Priscilla (Thomas Davis), ?Barbara 1798, ? William (Christina Mace) m. 1814 b. 1802 d. 1891. The date 1792 is confusing to me. This date couldn't have been the date Eleanor died because sources show that she was still living after this date. Richard & Eleanor Pennington to be paid $80 [October 8, 1814] comes from: Pendleton County Court Order Book No. 16: 1808-1814, p. 325. The 1792 could possibly been the marriage date, but again there is no record of this in the WV or VA area suggesting this. Which leads me to believe that this date could possibly be the date they moved to the Pendleton County, VA/WV area? According to the According to the 1850 Census of Tipton Co., IN, Jefferson TWP micro film it shows Mary Pennington the daughter of Richard Pennington living in the household of Robert Minnis (her son) and daughter in law Mary as being born in South Carolina. R. P. Minnis, age 51, no occupation, born in Va. and could not read; Mary age 51, born in Va., could not read; Sarah age 23, born in Va.; Mary age 17 born in Va., Rebecca age 16, born in Va., Margaret age 12, born in Va., and Mary Minnis age 82, born in SC could not read and blind. This is proof that Richard Pennington was in the South Carolina area during the period of 1768 before settling into the Pendleton County, VA/WV area. Which brings me to the Richard Pennington married to Hannah Boone? Another researcher I've been corresponding with wrote and asked me: Why are there so many references for the Richard Pennington who married Hannah? Boone and none of the one almost exactly the same age as our Richard Pennington who didn't. And the wrong Richard was in so many place ours was likely to be? I happen agree with her as you recall I've mentioned this several years ago; and practically got my head chewed off for even suggestion it and back off. But I will be looking a little into this direction. It has been speculated that Eleanor was the wife of Reese Pritchard, but we all know that Eleanor married to Reese Pritchard would have been to old to even have had children with Richard Pennington. Again no one has come forward with proof of this and it's one of the reasons poor Eleanor has been sitting in my data base with no last name. Debbie
