Hi all Looking for info on the PENNINGTON family of Fannin County, TX. My ggg grandmother was named Holly PENNINGTON b 1 May 1815 SC d 1 Mar 1860 Collin County, TX m 1 Mar 1840 Fannin County, TX Harrison STANFORD b 10 July 1817 TN d 15 Aug 1888 Johnson County, TX. Also in Fannin County were Jemima PENNINGTON and Elias PENNINGTON. I believe that Jemima was the mother of Elias and Holly. Jemima married William KERLEY 21 Feb 1849 in Fannin County and her tombstone (in Collin County) shows her b 23 Aug 1789 d 20 Sept 1858. Elias owned property in Fannin County next to Harrison STANFORD. He is shown in the 1850 Fannin County Census: E.G. PENNINGTON age 40 m b SC J.A. age 34 f b NC Jas. 17 m TN L.E. 15 f TN S. 13 f TN C.M. 11 f TN Jno P. 10 m TX A.R. 8 f TX M.D. 6 f TX A.G. 4 f TX E.G. 2 m TX Wm H. 6 mos m TX E. CEOSLEY 19 TN It appears this PENNINGTON family probably went from SC to TN before coming to Fannin County TX. Any help appreciated. Thanks! Lauri Manda LauriMM@aol.com
