If you can find my great grandfather's parents, then, that would possibly tell who he was descended from, then I would have a chance of joining a group. In case you are interested , his name was;Wilson Pennington, born Ky. 1809. He lived and died in the area of Jackson co., Tn and Monroe county, Ky. dying in the 1870 -75 period as far as can be determined. He married Elizabeth Denham and had four children, I can supply you their names and birth dates and also their dates of deaths in case you are interested. There are those who firmly believe that he may have been an unnamed son of Simeon Pennington, but there is not that first shred of proof, as yet found. Just wanted to point out to you that it is not always possible do do something, not because we are stubborn, obstinate, dumb or forgetful, but for the simple reason that we do not have the information to do it. Thanks for your attention, Tom Pennington >> Tom I think we are probably connected in "some" way....I also have a Pennington who was in Jackson County, TN in 1850...living near Uriah and Simeon. I have no other info on her prior to this date other than the census says she was born in TN. If you think by sharing info there is the slightest chance of finding even a hint.... :>) I would love to share. Her name was Elizabeth Pennington born about 1822 and married James Hughes....children were: Nancy J., John W, Cynthia A, Lydia, Abram, William Kennedy, James J., and another son with the initials S.M (who probably was born between Abram and William. This family was in AR by 1860 and Mo by 1870. Please let me know what you think. Smiles Judie
