Hi! I'm new to these lists. I'm researching a couple of lines for my supplemental SAR applications, claiming descent from James Caudill, Jr. (b. 1753 Lunenburg, VA) and Archaelous Craft, through their children, Nancy Craft and Wm. C. Caudill (married to each other). I'm tying to prove descent from James Washington Pennington (b. 1799 Lee Co., VA; d. OCT 1854 Lawrence Co., KY) and his wife Ellender Caudill, through their son, William "Squire Billy" Pennington (b. abt. 1820 Harlon KY). Does anyone have a copy of James Pennington's last will and testament (showing his son to be William) and/or a death certificate for Ellender Caudill Pennington (showing her parents to be William C. and Nancy Craft Caudill)? In each case the relevant county of death should be Lawrence, KY. Any help or other primary documents would be greatly appreciated. This request is very important, and not just for my own benefit. If I can successfully document this information and get these supplemental applications approved, it will open the door for, no doubt, hundreds of other descendants of this Caudill/Pennington line to become members of DAR and SAR. Thank you in advance. Andrew R. Mylott (SAR Nat'l #156158) Roger Sherman Branch, CTSSAR

Sorry about that. I sent the wrong James Pennington census info.
