Greetings, PRA Family Group 9 is moving right along. I have added the surnames of Ridgeway, Biggs (in Ohio), Davidson, Bean and Conard that married into our Pennington family. Also added more information w/sources on the 4,5 and 6th grandsons of our progenitor, John Pennington. Most of the additions are seated in Hampshire County, WV and VA. Enjoy!!

Hi Gang, Hey, our local PBS Network has made a second year of this program. It first aired last year. It is an outstanding program dealing with history, ancestors and the investigation techniques they use to validate family stories. I never missed it and glad to see it return. I learn something new all the time. Thought you might be interested. Rene'e Davis ARD, Family Groups PRA - Group 9 Pennington Research Association, Inc. www.penningtonresearch.org

Our nephew and his wife were in this cemetary last year visiting her family plots. When they walked around a little they found the following. Sasken Cemetary in the country outside Carthage, MO. Cecil V. Pennington June 4, 1900 Dec 6 1933 Pennington Lillie Margaret 1886-1971 Thomas H. Pennington Missouri Pvt US Army World War I Dec 24 1889 May 28, 1955 Erwin Lloyd son of T. H. & Lillie Pennington Feb 15, 1920 Feb 8, 1922 To my knowledge these are not our family members. Perhaps someone will recognize these names and this place. I have pictures of these grave stones if anyone is interested. Barbara W. Pennington, Group 4 Membership Chair Pennington Research Association, Inc [email protected]

Hi, Boy, what a treasure to have a letter from back in that time. This is what I have found on Richard. (you may already have this census info) 1810 - Pendleton Cty. VA Assuming Richard is the head of the house, he shows to be born between 1766 and 1784. In the household - there is 4 w/male children under 10, 1 w/male 10-15 and 1 w/female under 10, 1 w/female 10-15, 1 w/female 16-25, 1 fw/emale 26-44.

(no slaves) Source Roll 33_140. Pg. 37 * Interesting, next to Richard is a Henry Sr. Peninger about the same age. 1830 - Richard shows 1 w/male under 5, 1 w/male under 10, 2 w/males 15-20, 1 w/males 50-60, 1 w/female under 10, 2 w/females under 15, 2 w/female under 30 and 1 w/female under 60. (no slaves) Source: Roll M19_201 Pg. 25, line #2 * Interesting in this census is listed John Pennington and Sampson Penington in the next households. 1840 - Pendleton Cty. Richard 1 w/male under 15, 1 w/male under 20, 1 w/male under 30, 1 w/male under 40, 1 w/male 60-70, 1 w/female under 10, 2 w/female 15-20, 1 w/female 70-80. (no slaves) *Interesting also listed is households of Henry Pennington 40-50; John Penington, 30-40; Precilla Penington with a w/male over 100 yrs. old, the oldest female is 15-20; Sampson Penington is listed 40-50 yrs. The oldest female is 30-40 in the Sampson household. Source: M704_572 Pg. 141 Debbie, does anyone know when or where the marriage took place for Grp. 19, Richard and Eleanor Pritchard? Maybe if we could find that record we could get parents name or possibly an area that they are from. Hope this helps - I'm sure it adds more questions, at least for me...

Lois, Well, they were looking when they found Grp. 26 maybe we can help them further. Grp. 9,19 and 29 have so many things in common but have yet to make the connection. Perhaps they are the one's to bring about the connection. Later...

Nick Is it possible for you to tell us which line it is that thought they were group 26 and has found out through the DNA they aren't. Might help some of the rest of us that believe we are in group 26. Thanks... Lois . It is important that we release this information as soon as we learn about it so that no one spends too much time and money trying to prove that group 26 is related to groups 9,19 and 29. Exciting revelations from the DNA Study are expected in the next couple of months and these will be fully discussed at the PRA reunion in Richmond Indiana Aug. 5-7th. Nick P. "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

I have had to make a small but important change to my latest report from the DNA Study. This happened because we got some more results back which made it clear that the person we thought was possibly group 26 was probably not from group 26. We got a result back from someone who is quite sure they are group 26 and they do not match anyone yet tested in our study. I have to correct this publicly at this time since that previous match between group 26 and groups 9,19 and 29 is incorrect. In fact that supposed group 26 person is probably just a member of groups 9,19 or 29. It is important that we release this information as soon as we learn about it so that no one spends too much time and money trying to prove that group 26 is related to groups 9,19 and 29. Exciting revelations from the DNA Study are expected in the next couple of months and these will be fully discussed at the PRA reunion in Richmond Indiana Aug. 5-7th. Nick P.

Hi Debbie, I can't help with Dr. Pennington but I can tell you that Moorefield is in Hardy County today and just south of Hampshire. I think back in the 1760's Hardy County was part of Hampshire County. Both of these counties had Penningtons in them. Can you tell us where you found this "Dr. Pennington"? Maybe that will give us a clue of where else we can check or follow-up on. Thanks for posting...

As I have just completed filling out the Registration Form for the Pennington Research Association, Inc. Annual Meeting & Reunion in Richmond, IN August 5-7, 2004, I am hoping that all of you are getting ready to join us. (There are some deadlines for registration) This national organization has this wonderful opportunity to gather only once a year to greet old friends and meet new ones. Those of us who attend on a regular basis always come home energized about the PRA and about our research of the Pennington families. This is a working, learning, social few days with people of similar goals. We can be very proud of the efforts of our organization (who are all volunteers) in searching and researching. During the past few years your officers have done a good job of continuing the goals of our founder, Bee Holmes. . This is a very special year as we dedicate the Pennington Archives at Earlham College and celebrate the 20 years since we formally became an Association. In the past couple of years we have become incorporated as a 501 (c)3 not for profit entity. The DNA project is outstanding and from it we are learning many new possible connections. We are volunteers working to help each other all over this country, England and Canada. Come join us for three productive and fun days. Visit us at www.penningtonresearch.org for specific information about the Reunion. I look forward to seeing you in Indiana. Barbara W.
