I was at the library today and ran across a book called "Colonial Soldiers of the South 1732-1774 by Murtie June Clark. On page 2 of this book it says: Militia of Cecil County Maryland "To His Excelency Samuel Ogle, Esq., Governor of Maryland: In obediaence ot your Excellency's honoured orders dated July 31st, and Augusst 24th, secenteen hundred and thirty nine, I herewith transmit a true account of all the militia, both horse and foot, in the county of Cecil and under whose command they are but at present ver few armed as the law demands in such cases." Signed by: John Wood Troopers under the command of John Baldwin, vizt: Nr Rank Name 5 Corporal Pennington, John 21 Private Pennington, Henry, Jun:r 27 Private Pennington, John 34 Private Pennington, Richard There are other names but to many to type out. I just listed the Pennington's. If someone understands this, will they please explain this too me. Richard Pennington (too many of them) is confusing the heck out of me. I'm getting to the point, where I'm about to give up on him. Debbie
