Hi Cheryl, On FTM CD #521, Md. Settlers and Soldiers, 1700-1800. In the Baltimore Sun Newspaper, 12/19/1846 pg. 2, there is a listing for the marriage 12/17/1846 of Ross T. to Sarah Mumma, daughter of David. Maybe if you can gt a copy of the page it may tll you more about him. Otherwise I can't find him anywhere else. The 1850 census for MD, in the 15th Ward, Baltimore Roll #M432-286 pg. 23, line 14(I think you already have) but as follows: Ross T. 29 a clerk w/m Sarah 23 w/f David F. 2 yrs. w/m Ann R. 8 months. w/f George A. H. M. Johnson 11 yrs. b/m Boy, I am almost as crazy s you are about this Ross guy. Sorry, I couldn't help more. Maybe the newspaper will help out.

Hi Elizabeth and Welcome to our list.. In the 1930 census, City of Augusta, Richmond County, GA. District 9, Pg. 255-10B Line 68.Your Charles lived on 5th Street with his grandmother ! Bear with me because the copy I have is a poor one. It goes like this: Head of the household is a Sarah Bartles or Bartlett. She is a white female age 58. Living with her is a son-in-law, Hibon ? Pennington age 27 yrs.; a daughter -? - Pennington age 24 years, a grandson Charles H. Pennington age 6 years and a granddaughter named Hilda F age 4 yrs. All of these relatives show that their parents were born in GA. Grace Ritter was the daughter of William H. and Jessie Ritter. In 1930, they lived in the City of Baltimore, Baltimore County, MD. Grace had two brothers at that time, Herbert L. and William H. Jr. Ritter. Interesting on the Ritter's. I have a second cousin, Ben Ritter. He has traced back to MD from VA. with his family as I have done with my Penningtons. All of us have to keep in the back of our minds that some of the relationships to the PRA and Pennington Family Groups are linked by other surnames. In Family Group 9, I have two incidents where a direct relative married another family in 1960 and finding out years later, tracing both surnames back to 1730 in Md. the two families are together again. Amazing huh? Anyway, Elizabeth, I hope this has helped you a little. Also, I noticed that in replying to you - you need to be subscribed to the mailing list to receive answers to your query. ( I am going to check on this with Gene) That is why I replied to you AND the PRA mailing list to make sure that you get the nformation on your family. If you are not a subscriber to the PRA list just; send a email to (click here) [email protected] and on the "Subject line" type in: subscribe (nothing else and send it). In this way you will receive mail from any Pennington cousins out there is cyberspace. Don't be shy, we are a pretty good gang to learn from - let us know what else we can help you with. After sending email to the PRA mailing list, a copy of it will also be sent to you. If you send mail to our mailing list and do not get a copy of your email back, let myself or Gene Pennington (webmaster) at [email protected] if you have any problems, okay? We'll be talking to ya and again welcome !! Maybe this info will get Mike and you on the way to finding your heritage.

Ross Penington line is from Cecil County. I was able to obtain Ross F. (not T.) Penington's death certificate. He died in Baltimore City in 1892 at age 72. But he was born in Cecil County. Had been in the city 55 years when he died, so that means he was in Cecil County until age 17. This should help us connect him. He's definitely a Cecil County native. Any thoughts?

The only family info I have about my husband's side is the little I just emailed to the mailing list and a book entitled "The Penningtons Since the Civil War." It lists birth and death dates as well as ss # and groups Penningtons by states.

Looking for information on the ancestors of Charles Henry Pennington and Grace Virginia Pennington. Charleas was born in Augusta, GA on Dec. 27, 1923. He died in September of 1999. His mother's maiden name was Stokes. Grace was born in Baltimore on Aug. 17, 1926. Her maiden name was Ritter. She died in Nov. of 1981. She and Charles married in 1946. They had one son, William Howard Pennington. He married Jean Francis Debinski on December 30, 1972. They have two sons, Michael William (my husband) and Matthew Brooks Pennington. Michael and I married on June 28, 2003. Any information would be greatly appreciated, as Mike's dad knows very little about his family. Thanks so much!

Anyone who has had their DNA tested with the PRA DNA Study can now plug their numbers into a site to be found in the following article: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/GENEALOGY-DNA/2004-03/1078148491 The Sorenson foundation has set up the site so that if you find a close match with your Y chromosome DNA, when you do a search, it spits back an actual Pedigree at you! No living people included. This is unlikely to be anyone you are related to in a recent time frame yet since they only have about 5600 men in the database at the moment but it will grow to over 20,000 very soon as they put all their data online. This only works for men at the moment but they plan to add mitochondrial DNA soon. This is the way of the future check it out. I recommend getting tested with our PRA study since we have 50 Penningtons and growing that you could match we also test slightly different markers so there is only an overlap of 19 markers with the Sorenson DNA database. N.P.

Cousins, After only one day we have already have an update to the website. Nell Truitt has gracioulsy sent a picture from her collection of Isaiah Crouch Pennington, born 1825, died 1892. He was the grandson of Hannah Boone and Richard Pennington, and son of Daniel B. Pennington and Esther Frailey. You will find this it on the Pictures page. Take a look!

Nell, I apologize for not answering sooner. Joshua Pennington is supposed to be a son of Micajah Pennington, Jr, grandson of Micajah Pennington and Rachel Jones. The mother is unknown. It is somewhat of a disputed line. It would be great if someone who is descended from Joshua could be tested for DNA. Joshua Pennington was married to Nancy Sparks and had 11 known children. He and his family moved to Johnson Co., KY and most of them are buried there!

Cousins, The PRA Family Group 4 website is now online and available to everyone researching the Pennington�s of Group 4 and related surnames. http://pragroup04.home.comcast.net The website is in its early stages and is in need of content. I have placed a few pictures from my collection and encourage others to do so as well. There is also a links page with some Pennington related links. If you have any good links that you have found to contain good Pennington information, let me know. What would you like to see on our website? Do you have any research material related to Group 4 you would like to make available for others to review? Do you have any pictures of your ancestors? Documentation in electronic format (gif, jpg, bmp)? We hope you will find this site as a valuable resource and through the efforts of its members will continue to grow as information is made available. Enjoy!

Willouby Morgan, Capt. Thomas Roberts, Capt. Wm. Morris, Capt. Henry Beatty and Capt. Michael Coyle. The First Infantry Company was recruited by Capt. Morgan, who was promoted and entered the regular Army. he Company was reorganized and used as mounted Infantry and became known as Cavalry Company #4. Officer: Capt. Tos. Roberts.

All the Companies named were sent to Norfolk and Point Comfort. Some of the Frederick County men died of Yelow Fever. There was another cavalry company listed under Judge Henry St. George Tucker who marched to Norfolk but there is no list. It talks about the payroll of the Emergency Soldiers that enlisted for 90 days and are not part of the Winchester Companies from Frederick Cty.(Shenandoah Cty). I should also tell you that among these names there are no Penningtons. But if you want to check other surnames, they are Hillman, Touchstone, Glaize, Crawford, Owen, Ryan, Perry, Hodgson. Sorry, I could not help further. I hope this has helped some of you. There is also a list on Rootsweb at www.rootsweb.com/~kyharris/1812vets Have a good weekend, everyone..

Cheryl, I'm not aware of anyone who has done a lot of work on the War of 1812. However, you do point out that there are probable several Pennington's who served. The only one in Group 7 that I am aware of is Joshua Pennington - here are the notes that I have on him and his pursuit of his 1812 pension. As you can see, they originally came from the Pennington Pedigrees. Joshua made a total of four attempts to get a War of 1812 Veteran Pension, beginning on 22 September 1852 from Johnson Co., KY. He was rejected for lack of required number of days of duty. Sixty days of active duty was the minimum requirement for a pension. In June 1854, he applied for a pension from Morgan County, KY., and for bounty land on April 12, 1855, stating that he was 59 years old. He was rejected for the pension, but was granted 160 acres of land on Warrant #23284-160-55. It has not been found where or when he took possession of this land. He filed again on June 3, 1871, stating that he was then 79 years old. The results were the same. The pension law was liberalized in 1878 and he filed again from Paintsville, KY, where he lived on Hood's Creek. He was unsuccessful again. When he made both of the last two applications by his son, Levi with whom he may have been living. He was, by this time, in his mid-eighties. His wife, Nancy died on March 15, 1878, while Joshua was still alive in Johnson Co., KY , but he has not been found after that. It is unknown where and when he died. This is per Pennington Pedigrees19-1 pg 19-27.

Does anyone have any information on a William Pennington who married a Manford (Donia?) Bailey in VanBuren (now Cleburne Co.), Arkansas on Dec. 24, 1865? Thankyou for your time.
