To provide better value to our members and other Pennington researchers, I started a blog for the Pennington Research Association. Many genealogy associations and companies are now using blogs to post information, solicit comments, ideas and suggestions and to share their research and pictures. Blogs are interactive and allow both the creator of the blog and visitors to post comments and material so everybody can share them. Blogs are replacing the "ezines" (electronic newsletters sent via e-mail) and have many advantages. Some have suggested this could be the modern equivalent of the Pennington Cousin's Couriers. When you visit the blog, feel free to leave a comment. The PRA blog has an RSS feed that you can use with any RSS Reader or if you use Google or Yahoo or MSN as one of your web pages, you can place the RSS feed directly on your web browser's page to keep up to date with postings on the blog.

Prominent among the early citizens of Lincoln County was Ephraim Pennington, who was born in Rockbridge County, Va., in 1785, and was of Scotch-Irish ancestors, who were among the first settlers of Virginia. " When he was but two years old his parents removed to Kentucky and located at Crab Orchard. Here Ephraim grew to manhood and married, in 1812, Bettie Vardiman. He reared two sons and six daughters, named as follows: Polly P., G. M. Pennington, E. D. Pennington, Ibeann, Easter Louis, Betsy V., Lavisa Emily and Sabra Ella Pennington. "'Ephraim Pennington was for many years a magistrate of Lincoln under the old constitution, and at that time when only the best men were honored by that office, and as an evidence that respect in which his memory is held, his portrait (a large oil painting) hangs in the court room of the county courthouse. " He died December 11, 1861, and his wife, Betsey Pennington, died in 1846 in the fifty-fourth year of her age. " E. D. Pennington, their second son, married Mary F. Welch, daughter of J. M. Welch. They have three children: Bettie V., John W. and Mary Sabry. E. D. Pennington died in Lincoln County in 1872. J. W. Pennington married Jennie M. Huffman September 7, 1870, and has two children, named Ephraim D. and Mary Paxton.

I am investigating the family of Timothy Pennington because I believe that he is the son of Capt. Ephraim Pennington born 1730/1740 in Mendham, Morris Co. NJ and died in 1815 in York Co. PA. He would them be the Grandson of Timothy Pennington of Mendham, Morris Co. NJ. The PRA has a DNA signature for the descendents of Ephraim's brother Jonathan Pennington of who I am a decendant. I was wondering if you know of any direct male decendents of Timothy Pennington and if you did, whether there might be and interest in contacting the PRA and being involved in the DNA testing. Information about the NJ Pennington line can be found at http://penningtonresearch.org/family_groups/fg2000-20.htm Mandy

Hi everyone, The Pedigrees issue is being printed now. The printer expects the issues to be in the mail in 7 - 10 days. So, I expect that we will see them in our mail boxes by the end of the year.

Mandy, Jim and all! Have any of you noticed that US 421 begins at Wilmington, N. C. Travels up through Pennington Gap, Virginia... Then into Kentucky, and ends in NE Indiana. I can't prove it. I have not gone into records to prove it on paper. But it indicates to me that there were SOME PENNINGTON'S that came into North Carolina that way.

Nick & Mandy, Timothy most likely does have male descendants living today. Timothy Pennington born 1759 married Mary Fullen and had seven children; of them, three were sons that reached adulthood, married, and had sons themselves. Timothy's son William had William James Pennington. Timothy's son James had John Timothy, Liberty Smith, Francis/Francia Wyatt, and Ephraim Burch Pennington, though Ephraim seems to have died childless. Timothy's son Ephraim P. had Timothy Morgan and Ephraim David Pennington. Both of them had sons that lived into the 20th century. The JFMF notes that Ephraim P. started a family history that his son Timothy Morgan and grandson Timothy William Pennington continued. It appears at least one of Timothy Morgan Pennington's descendants gave information to the PRA at some time in the past. Perhaps a descendant of one of Timothy Morgan's three sons is on the mailing list.

Carmen Assistant Research Director - JFMF www.penningtonresearch.org PRA Family Group 7 Leader http://pragroup7.genheirlooms.com Paul, This is the article that was on Eastman's genealogy newsletter back in October. It will still be around, but won't be updated. Carmen ________________________ The End of PAF? Personal Ancestral File (often called PAF) is one of the most popular genealogy programs available. It is produced by the LDS Church (the Mormons) and is made available to everyone at no charge. Millions of genealogists around the world use Personal Ancestral File. There is one problem: the program hasn't had a significant update in years. In fact, it is a rather old-fashioned genealogy program by today's standards. Other free programs now offer more features than what is found in PAF. Even more features can be found in programs selling for rather low prices. Remember when PAF used to sell for $35.00? Those days are long gone. Now a senior representative from the LDS Church has confirmed the rumors that have floated around for years: the LDS Church will not expend any more funds to develop a modern version of Personal Ancestral File. LDS Church Historian, Elder Marlin K. Jensen, gave the keynote address at the October 6-7, 2006, Northern Utah Family History Conference and Symposium. He told how Personal Ancestral File was a major force in genealogy in past years. However, when the LDS Church senior executives look today at all the things that the Church could do to promote interest in genealogy and to provide resources to genealogists, it is obvious that commercial organizations are already providing excellent free and low-cost genealogy software. Any efforts by the LDS Church to "compete" with the commercial organizations will not help meet the Church's goals to promote interest in genealogy and to provide appropriate resources to aid genealogists. Instead, Jensen reports that the LDS Church's executives feel that the Church would be better served by concentrating its expenditures on the items that the Church can do best: digitizing microfilm and improving in-home access to original records, primarily via the www.FamilySearch.org web site. Comment by Dick Eastman: This strikes me as a good idea. We already have a number of excellent genealogy programs, including one besides PAF that is available free of charge. Having the LDS Church spend money to support and improve "one more free genealogy program" is not the wisest use of the Church's funds earmarked for genealogy. I'd much rather see the LDS Church spend that money on items that are difficult for other organizations to provide: convenient, in-home access to millions of genealogy- related records, improving its web-based genealogy software and promoting interest in family heritage throughout the world. To be sure, this will be disappointing to present users of Personal Ancestral File who will sooner-or-later need to switch to a newer program. (There is no need to rush, however.) However, I suspect those same users will also welcome the access to more records and the other benefits created by the re-allocation of these funds. -----Original Message----- From: pra-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:pra-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of TWilli346@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 6:10 AM To: pra@rootsweb.com Subject: [PRA] Discontinuation of PAF In a message dated 11/28/2006 12:43:01 P.M.

There's a wide selection of t-shirts, caps, coffee mugs, mouse pads, tile boxes, clocks, a teddy bear and several magnets to choose for that special PRA person. I just purchased a tile box, a couple of coffee mugs and a tote bag to give as gifts to Mom & Dad and my brother. I know they'll enjoy them and with the PRA's Official Coat of Arms on each item, they look great! To see the selection, go to --> http://www.cafepress.com/PRA_Inc .

Hello Gene: This was most helpful. I currently use Family Tree Maker. However, RootsMagic sounds interesting. Can one easily transfer the Gedcom from FTM to a RootsMagic software format? I'm headed to VA in May and will check out RootsMagic software. I'll also take a look at Master Genealogists. The numbering system for the files and documents for consistency is what interests me. I'm not consistent enough. Do you have a reference book or guide to learn your filing and numbering system? Thanks.

You seem to be asking several questions that we all ask ourselves as we start our quest for information about our ancestors. These questions will never really go away because the answers change as technology and research methods evolve forcing us to regularly revisit these same questions. Here are the questions I think you're asking and my suggestions and comments. 1. How to document genealogical material such as newspaper articles, photos, etc. You need to develop a record collection process system that uses traditional record documentation techniques such as numbering documents, analyzing them and preserving them so they'll last as long as possible. This system includes file cabinet/s, file folders, folder labels, transparent document holders (acid free), divider tabs, etc. It is very important to document when, and from where, you obtain the material and then to index and file it so you can find it again. By placing the material in a safe place (out of reach of the kids and other curious persons), you'll help ensure the material will remain a valuable part of your research. 2. How to save/record and organize newspaper articles, photos, etc. I file the material in a file cabinet using an index and file system that allows me to easily find any document. I also scan each document, (newspaper articles, photos, birth, marriage and death certificates, military discharge papers, etc.) and give it an index number that mirrors the one assigned to it in my paper system. Then I save the digital file in a file folder on my computer using a file system that looks very much like my file system in the file cabinet. For example, under "My Documents" I have a folder titled "Genealogy". Under "Genealogy" I have a folder titled "Pennington". Under "Pennington" I have several folders with titles like "Photos", "Census Records", "Maps", "Biographies", "Birth-Marriage-Death Certificates", "Bible Records" and on and on. I can make up additional folders as the need arises. I can easily move/copy digital files from one folder to anther. This makes it much, much easier for me to find files/material when I go looking for them. I then place a copy of these digitized files in my genealogy software program as sources/evidence, pictures of people, etc. To see what these look like, please visit my personal genealogy website at --> http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~genepenn/ . This website includes pictures and digitized files used as sources/evidence, etc. To help ensure I don't loose these important files, I make backups of all my digital files and keep one back up in my safe deposit box and the other back up in my office. I want to stress how important it is to make backups of your data on a regular basis (weekly if not daily) and to keep at least one copy of your backed up data (for the previous month) in a safe location away from your home. 3. How to record people and events you wish to preserve as part of your research. It's my opinion that most good genealogy programs helps a researcher to record two basic things - people and events. Each of these have their own unique pieces of information (data) that need to be recorded as well. How well a genealogy software program let's you record this information, and how well it helps you to create a variety of reports is also very important. In today's Internet age, it is also important how well, and easily, the program helps you create a genealogy website and/or a CD. I have used Family Tree Maker, but not recently. I use RootsMagic and The Master Genealogist all the time. I recommend Family Tree Maker for beginning computer and genealogy researchers, however, as you read in the replies, many intermediate to advanced researchers use Family Tree Maker. I recommend RootsMagic for computer and genealogy beginners to advanced users. I recommend The Master Genealogist for intermediate to advanced computer users and those who consider themselves intermediate or advanced researchers. Each software program has it's advantages and downsides, however, it is my opinion that RootsMagic is the best overall genealogy software program. It offers almost all the "bells and whistles" you could possibly want in a genealogy software program, offers great reports (and a wide variety of reports) and is easy to use. All of these programs have free downloads for you to try (Rick's reply has the website addresses). I hope you find these suggestions and comments helpful.

Hi, again, I forgot to say that Abraham was born in Rockbridge County, VA! Judy

Hi, I have a Abraham Pennington, son of Jacob, b. May 2, 1781. They moved to Hampshire County, VA/WVA. They show up in the 1810 census. Now either Jacob the father or Abraham married a Van Pelt or a Van Meter. I have been hunting for the parents of Jacob, who was born about 1760. This seems so close to Timothy. I had to write. Anyone have knowledge that can help me. Take care, Judy Minihan
