At the risk of boring you all with too much DNA information I thought I would post just this one page article on a major breakthrough determined by DNA. If you are a Scot you can now find out if you are a descendant of the Viking Somerled or the Gaelic line of the MacDonalds and their related clans. Somerled had an R1a haplogroup (not R1b) like most Penningtons. It is a very different Y-Chromosome found in Scandinavia and when it is found in the UK especially in a Scottish person it is diagnostic of Viking heritage.

Rene'e and list, I am sorry who caught the intentional mistake? The link established by DNA for group 23 is to group 6 not group 9! Both of these groups have Isaacs in them early on.

Hi Nick, Yea, I was looking at Grp. 23 and could not find a common factor in the records or sources to my Grp. 9 and thought (of course - after forwarding to the list) that it might be a typo.

This came on the Longhunter list. Maybe the explanation will he of help in understanding the Land deals.......Lois ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Just found this on the Library of VA website. Thought it might help clarify it for someone like it did me. Etta A land patent is a land transaction during the Colonial period from the Crown to an individual. A land grant is a land transaction from the Commonwealth to an individual. A deed is a land transaction between individuals or private parties.

A Boone-Pennington reunion will be held during the Monroe County, Kentucky Heritage Festivaal in Tompkinsville, Kentucky on May 7-8, 2004. Descendants of the early settlers, including the family of Richard Pennington and Hannah Boone, youngest sister of Daniel Boone who settled in the county in1798, are to be honored on Friday night at the Pioneer dinner. The events of Saturday at OLD MULKEY MEETINGHOUSE STATE HISTORIC PARK will be arts, crafts, genealogical swap, children's activities, and the reunion in the Meetinghouse from 3 to 5 pm. Period attire is encouraged. A family skit of a "mock" wedding of 1804, which celebrates the log building of the Old Mulkey Meetinghouse, now restored in the park, will be at 3 p.m. The young couple will represent the son of Hannah and Richard. Daniel Boone Pennington wed Miss Esther Frailey at that time, and they will be our characters. BRING YOUR FAMILY GENEALOGY TO SHARE. PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND IF YOU CAN. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM: Cindy Thrasher Hulsey, Park Director [email protected] Nell Truitt 4th great-granddaughter of Richard & Hannah

Paul and Others, Just an idea! Last year my 5 g-grandfather William Braithwaite, a Revolutionary War Veteran was GIVEN a new gravestone by the Veteran's Adm. During the ceremony, the Son of the American Revolution (Leesburg Chapter in VA) and the State Honor Guard presented at the grave marking. The only real cost was LABOR from everyone pitching in to clean up the area. So, any of you that have veterans as ancestors might want to check into this. Thanks for posting, Paul. It took us about 9 months to get authorization from the Vet's Adm. but it was certainly worth the wait.

Cousin Maxine, I would think that the Irish line came in through the Jones family connection. I don't have the Jones data yet, but that's a good guess. While documenting my other family lines I was amazed to find so many Scottish and Irish lines that I didn't know anything about. If someone has more information on the Pennington line's Irish connection, I would love to have it also. Thank you. Cousin Ruth
