Dear Will Brown et al, The Pennington researcher, who is a gateway to other researchers, for the Penningtons of Cecil Co., MD, DE and surrounding regions during the 17th century is Sybil (Pennington) Hampton, 1007 Ivy Lane, Waldorf, MD, 20602. Sybil is a member of the PRA Group 26: Descendants of William Pennington, Sr. (c1750-1821) of Monroe Co., VA/WV. The Cecil Co., MD, Penningtons were of one clan whom we can trace back to at least the 1690s. We believe this is the source of the Pennington men who settled in West Virginia highlands before 1800, all of whom had Cecil Co. and/or DE links.
