Hi Judie; I would gladly share any information that i have with you. Like i said in this post, I have scant info on my ggfather, Wilson Pennington,I think he was in some way connected to Samuel Pennington and Simeon Pennington of Jackson county, Tn.As well as to the Richard Pennington family of Monroe co., Ky. But proving all of this is another story, Just how much have you researched your Penningtons in the area?I have done some research and have some names of different Penningtons and if they would help you I will share them with you.
