Research note for those researching Penningtons in Knox Co., KY in the early 19th century. Be aware that Knox County, KY, is one of the confusing areas of Pennington research. There were at least TWO unrelated Pennington clans living in Knox County, KY (later Whitley Co., KY) before 1820. One is that branch as listed below. The other was made up of four, possibly five, children of William Pennington, Sr. (1755-1821) who settled in Monroe Co., VA/WV by at least 1798. William's children who moved to Knox Co., KY, from Monroe Co., VA/WV before 1820 were: Asa and Elizabeth (Pennington) Ellison, Sr.; William and Susannah (Nossman) Pennington, Jr.; Andrew and Sarah (Thomas) Pennington, and possibly George Pennington and Rencenvey Pennington. All lived on the Clear Fork of the Cumberland River in Knox Co. Elizabeth (Pennington) Ellison lived next to her brother William Penninton, Jr.; both lived in the region until after 1860, as shown by tax records and federal censuses.
