Hi Lana, Oh Boy, I hope that you and Nick (Grp. 33) didn't think I left our England Family Groups out on purpose. I sure missed the both of you in my answer to Bob.

Hi There Marie, My Thomas Pennington (Family Grp. 9) was born 24 Feb. 1782 in Cecil, MD. His wife in 1817 was Margaret (Rhoda) McKeever. They married in Hampshire County, Va (which is now W.VA). The probate records 25 May 1857 mentions children, my 4th great grandfather Julius G. Pennington, William Paul, Isaac J., Sarah and Mary Catherine also a grandson Alfred Anderson. However it does not mention his wife, Margaret. Of course - that would make our job too easy, huh? Your Thomas could be a cousin or uncle according to the time line. Do you have a date or place of birth for your Thomas and Miss Beall in MD ? For some time now, I have been watching Family Groups 9, 29, 21 and 19 as possible connections - but have not been able to narrow it down in some families. There could be other groups as well. Some of these Family Groups are also mentioned in the DNA study as possible links and is all the more reason to use our mailing list for communicating to our cousins. All of these groups share many other surnames besides Pennington in this same area of MD. Our problem has been the first names - before about 1860 the same first names were given to cousins in the same families and matched uncles, nephews, cousins and grandparents. I think they were in a race to see how many Thomas, William and John's they could name their children. :>) It is almost impossible to sort them out. But I just keep plugging away. Let's do some more sharing notes for these two. Maybe if we stay focused on just these two Thomas', something will pop out. Talk soon and thanks for posting....

Renee, In your note to Cheryl you mentioned a Thomas Pennington. Can you tell m,e what group he would be plaaced? I am searching for Thomas Pennington and Leatha Beall the both were in MD at one time. They were married in NC in 1796. Could this ring a bell with you or the years. Group # 29 Thanks for any help.

Hi. I still have the plot plan and so forth for the Pennington Greenmount Cemetery Plot that I did last year. Will you have the ability on the new web site to gather documents and photos and make them available to everyone? If so, I can post the entire map and the individual grave cards.

Hi Cheryl, I certainly understand your frustration, I can't tell you how many places I posted my relative to in hopes of finding someone. I was just stubborn and probably somewhat of a pest until I found a will probated in MD for my grandfather Thomas. Then I reposted that information to the PRA list and got lucky in finding my cousins. While finding a Family Group in the PRA to belong is helpful and the cousins that share a common ancestor makes everyone's tree grow like it is on hormones or something. It is also important for anyone tracking ancestors to continue working on the person they are stuck on. If you find them on some census, some year in someplace, follow-up in the same area for any probate records. While you are there, look for the marriage and go back to the census for the other surname. Many times I found missing family members and grandparents because they were living with the married inlaws. Keep posting to the lists !!! POST a family query; POST what record you have for the person; POST a marriage ; POST EVERYTHING and keep searching and posting everything and I promise you, you will eventually find your cousins. I agree with you, with the PRA opening the various family files we will be reach more people, share more information and at a much shorter time span. And with the DNA testing, if some of you haven't found your cousins, the DNA could at least point a finger to a group of cousins. Thanks for posting Cheryl and Bob.

Hi Cheryl, I certainly understand your frustration, I can't tell you how many places I posted my relative to in hopes of finding someone. I was just stubborn and probably somewhat of a pest until I found a will probated in MD for my grandfather Thomas. Then I reposted that information to the PRA list and got lucky in finding my cousins. While finding a Family Group in the PRA to belong is helpful and the cousins that share a common ancestor makes everyone's tree grow like it is on hormones or something. It is also important for anyone tracking ancestors to continue working on the person they are stuck on. If you find them on some census, some year in someplace, follow-up in the same area for any probate records. While you are there, look for the marriage and go back to the census for the other surname. Many times I found missing family members and grandparents because they were living with the married inlaws. Keep posting to the lists !!! POST a family query; POST what record you have for the person; POST a marriage ; POST EVERYTHING and keep searching and posting everything and I promise you, you will eventually find your cousins. I agree with you, with the PRA opening the various family files we will be reach more people, share more information and at a much shorter time span. And with the DNA testing, if some of you haven't found your cousins, the DNA could at least point a finger to a group of cousins. Thanks for posting Cheryl and Bob. By the way, Cheryl I haven't forgot about your Ross Pennington. Oh, do you remember the cemetery plot of Pennington at Green Mount you sent me? It might help others to post the information to the mailing lists as well. We aren't able to send attachments to the mailing lists but at least you could post the information for the others.

Hi Bob, Don't be confused about the Family Groups on the PRA website. They are just our way of naming the oldest ancestor for each family tree. One day we hope to find the common link that will merge many of our family groups through either primary sources or our DNA study. No, you are not in the wrong place, either !! As genealogists, all of our Pennington families start our trees with what we know ; the most recent name and place and work backwards. The PRA has been accumulating Pennington family histories for over 30 years and we have a data base that includes over 50,000 Pennington, Penington, Pinnington, Pynyngton and other surnames. To save some confusion there are 2 Pennington Mailing Lists. One, [email protected] (which you have posted to) the other is [email protected] I subscribe to both lists so that I find more cousins like you. As you have read on the PRA website, there are always new family groups being formed. I have checked for your James, Richard, James Richard Henry and Ralph Pennington. Also, Pedersen and Cartwright surnames. There were no matches for the time period you specified but there are a number of possibilities. I am sharing your email with the PRA Mailing List in hopes that your names will 'ring a bell' with our many members and possibly help both of you add branches to your trees. In order to receive mail, you need to subscribe to the list, just click here [email protected] and type SUBSCRIBE on the subject line. That's it - it's free ! Some of our members subscribe to the PRA mailing list only and is the reason I have forwarded your email to our list. I am very interested about the Pennington China in Liverpool. Can you tell us more about that? We currently have 2 Family Groups that have made their way to/from England. They are Groups 3, Lancashire, ENG. (Trisha Bennett [email protected] ) and Group 27, Muncaster, ENG (Sidney Graveston (no email). I hope that my PRA cousins in cyberspace will be able to find a link to your family. Should you decide to pursue your Pennington heritage - you may want to check our website again. In particular, the DNA study; the new www.myfamily.com (where we are going to move all of our Pennington archives); Starting a new Family Group. I know that Nick Pennington, our DNA Coordinator will be very interested in your ties to England. Most of us are stuck in America trying to reach the shores of England and beyond. I hope my reply has helped sort out the confusion. One thing is definite, all of us Pennington's are trying to find our cousins around the world. The more we post inquiries the better the odds of finding our extended families. So, you have started in the right direction. Should you be interested in starting a new Family Group for your line, let us know and we will help you get started. Getting your family published can open many doors to the past. BOB, when you reply to this mail, click the "reply all' button - it will reach both mailing lists and make sure you have subscribed. Happy hunting!

I would just like to point out that the Popular Science article is very biased. It completely ignores the only sensible use of DNA in genealogy in other words using the Y-chromosome to identify the genetic lines associated with a particular surname. There are now 830 surnames that are using this technique in a similar way to the Pennington DNA Study and some families are having great successes (as are we). The use of mitochondrial DNA and the DNA Print test in my opinion are simply novelties that will probably never be useful in genealogy and might give one only a glimpse of the prehistory of a very few of your ancestors. It is true one will find many genetic cousins that have a different surname to you if you take our Y chromosome test but that is because surnames are a recent tag. We basically ignore any match one gets with someone with a different surname since the link is too remote to consider seriously. To use our technique sensibly you need to be able to compare your sequence to other people of the same surname who you might be related to otherwise your results are the sound of one hand clapping! The full link for this (rather poor) article is: http://www.popsci.com/popsci/medicine/article/0,12543,567794-5,00.html "Gene Pennington" <[email protected]> 12/24/2003 12:14 PM Please respond to genepenn1 To: [email protected] cc: Subject: INTERESTING ARTICLES ABOUT DNA & GENEALOGY I thought you might enjoy reading two (2) recent articles about DNA and Genealogy. Unfortunately they are not available online yet but they should be available in your local library or if you subscribe to these two (2) magazines, you can read them. 1. January 2004 Issue of Popular Science (http://www.popsci.com/popsci/), page 78, titled "Putting the Gene Back in Genealogy". 2. November/December NGS (National Genealogical Society - www.ngsgenealogy.org) NewsMagazine, page 34, titled Non-Paternity Problems in Genealogical DNA Analysis". Both of these articles address some of the same problems we face with our DNA Study and they may help you to better understand the challenges.

I mistakenly said that I had thought Martha Greer was married to Harvey Pennington, I was incorrect. I checked the Ashe Co., NC Cemetery books and it is Martha Brooks who was married to Harvey Pennington.
