Thank you, John, for your answer to my query about Elmina (Elmira) Pennington. I've had reservations about her being the daughter of Joel, but so many indications pointed me to believe it. Could you possibly email me the names of his children and who his daughters married? The only ones I have any record of are: William Riley and his twin, Fidelia, David A., Joel and Mahala. I would be so grateful for this favor.
