Peggy; This is a much better query than the first one you posted--more information. These names sound familiar to me, as my Group 28 line came through Lawrence County in eastern Kentucky. I suspect yours did too. I do not, however, show any Penningtons named Joshua or George Washington in my data. The surname Sparks does appear, but not Nancy. I have a book which shows the surname Lester associated with a Nancy Sparks. If you would post a snail-mail address I'll mail you a couple of pages. You might want to contact Pat (Lester) Starzer to see if she has more information: [email protected] I think you can provisionally rule out Group 28 for your line, but perhaps someone in another group that came through eastern Kentucky will chime in. Good luck in your research, Paul Pennington Augusta, Georgia Group 28 Leader
