Dear Jackie, I don't have a whole lot on your family...but you are a "cousin" of mine. Harvey Pennington is the son of Levi Pennington, grandson of Levi Pennington, and great-grandson of Micajah Pennington. Therefore, you are in Group 7 as I am. I am descended from Harvey's younger sister Elizabeth, who is my gggreat-grandmother. Please take a look at the Group 7 page that I have set up. I think that you will find it interesting...and then email me privately and we can "converse" on the family!

My great great grandfather is Harvy Pennington. I am guessing he was born around 1828 or so. He appears in the 1870 census in Ashe County, North Carolina with his wife, Esther. His children at that time who were living at home were Elizabeth, Sarah, Mary, James, George, Lucinda, Levi, and Cora. Lucinda is my great grandmother. At the time of the 1870 census she was 5 years old. > > According to the book of Ashe County marriages, 1800-1900, Lucinda Pennington was married to Joel Alexander Tedder on April 30, 1882. Joel Alexander Tedder was a minister for the Holiness church. He and Lucinda had several children, the oldest of whom was William Thomas Tedder, my grandfather, born April 26, 1884, according to his application for Social Security. Other children of Lucinda Pennington and Joel Alexander Tedder are: Adam F. Tedder, born Jan. 29, 1886; John Quincey Tedder, born Dec. 25, 1898; Roy Smith Tedder, born Jan. 20, 1903; and Joel Alexander Tedder (Jr.), born Jan. 18, 1907. These births are recorded in the Smith Tedder Family Bible and in the Family Bible of Joel Alexander Tedder and Lucinda Pennington. Joel Alexander and Lucinda had other children, but as yet I have not been able to find their names. > > I would like to find out more about the Harvy Pennington family, especially Lucinda. I would also like to know if there are any descendants of Lucinda Pennington and Joel Alexander Tedder still living with whom I could get in touch. > > I also want to know which Pennington Group # I should be researching. > > If any of the above information sounds familiar to you, please let me know. > > Jackie in Arcadia, CA > > My Tedder/Pennington line is: Lucinda Pennington, daughter of Harvy Pennington; William Thomas Tedder, son of Lucinda Pennington; Bertha Mae Tedder, daughter of William Thomas Tedder; Jacqueline Lee Carney (me), daughter of Bertha Mae Tedder > > > > ==== PENNINGTON Mailing List ==== > The Pennington Research Association Web Site > http://penningtonresearch.org > for subscribe and unsub instructions, > follow the links to e-mail group. > >
