On page 86 of Pennington Pedigrees, Vol. 28(2), there's a blurb regarding CSA General John B. GORDON (one of the more significant confederate generals) being a grandson of Charity KING and Chapman GORDON. Charity KING was the daughter of Charity PENNINGTON and Capt. Charles KING. Charity PENNINGTON was, in turn, the daughter of Isaac PENNINGTON of SC. Thus General GORDON was a descendant of Group 8. There's a GORDON page with more info on General GORDONs line, that may be of interest to those collecting descendants for Group 8. The GORDON page is maintained by Joann GORDON and the URL is: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5917/GORDON2.HTM I've exchanged emails with Joann and am supplying her with info on Abraham and Isaac PENNINGTON of group 8, as well as info on Capt. Charles KING. The GORDON page already has mention of the General's PENNINGTON and KING ancestry. One thing I had never heard before is that King's Mountain (in NC, I think) is named for Capt. Charles KING. Regards, Rod PENNINGTON Group 8 ================= Rod Pennington Temple, TX rodpenn@sage.net
