Martha, I noted your message on the PENNINGTON-Lrootsweb. I will bring you up to date on my activities. We sold our house in TN and purchase a house in Virginia. We moved on October 1 and are still in the process of getting unpacked. This move was made so we could be near our children and grandchildren. We have three very young grandchildren ages 9 mo to 3 years. We are 15 minutes from our daughter and 30 minutes from our son. We are located in Warrenton, VA which is 45 miles west of Washington, DC. I think we are going to like it here. Our address is 6048 Whippoorwill Drive, Warrenton, VA 20187. I have not had time to do any research our Penningtons family for some time. After the holidays we are going to the National Archives in DC to do some looking. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Howard
