I found this list of British soldiers while looking for another family member. Just wanted to share it with you all. Just put "Pennington" in the search line and find all those who died, family names, addresses, ages, where buried, etc. from the 1st WW to the present. _http://www.britishwargraves.org.uk_ (http://www.britishwargraves.org.uk) Peggy Pennington Pound Group 8 ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

I have attempted to combine the all of the Pennington Group 10 data that was available on our PRA site and the data that I personally have. This includes both Penningtons and their allied families. This data is available at http://home.comcast.net/~jimlantz/ As I mentioned in a previous post we have a lot of spouses listed that we don't have a last name for. I have given them an arbitrary last name of ZZZ Mr/Mrs (known spouses last name) i.e. All we know of John Jones' wife, is that her name was Martha. Therefore, she would be listed as ZZZ Mrs John Jones. Lets see if we can't give these people their proper names. Also, there are some individuals that I have given an additional middle name of "SUSPECT". I have serious concerns about these individuals. My reasons for concern are covered in the individual's attached notes. I would sure appreciate your input on them. Please visit the site and look it over. Any errors and omissions that you come across, email be directly at jimlantz@comcast.net and I will make the necessary corrections. When we get the list cleaned up we can see about transferring it to the PRA site. All of us have at one time said, if only I had asked my parents, aunts, uncles, etc. the questions about our family history while they were alive. Lets get our family history down now while we are still alive, maybe someday our children or grandchildren will get bit by the genealogy bug and they will have all of this information available to them. Granted, we will cheat them out of the pleasure and satisfaction of putting the pieces together, but what they will have is accurate data. Then they won't fall into the trap of playing "adopt an ancestor" that so often happens. At least then they will know that we are their true g-g- ancestor and not be claiming someone with the same name, that is not even remotely related. Let's all chip in and try to clean our group up. One other thought, it's never a good idea to place information on the web on living individuals. Identity fraud concerns being what they are. Maybe we could find a way to place this information together and intrust it to the PRA for later dissemination. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS WOULD WORK, BUT IT MIGHT BE WORTH THINKING ABOUT.

seeking information on Edwin E. Pennington b. 1820 Virginia d. bet. 1866-1870 in Arkansas. Married 19 Dec 1844 Fayette Co, TN to Sarah Clift b. 1825 Tn d. bet 1866-1870 AR. Edwin and Sarah are in the 1850 Fayette Co census, 1860 Monroe Co Ar census, and by the 1870 census their son is listed as HOH in Independence Co, Ar . I have found an Edwin Pennington age 20-30 in East Dist Mecklenburg Co, VA census. Does anyone know anything about this Edwin in Mecklenburg Co? The children of Edwin and Sarah are: William Edwin b. 1846 TN,Benjamin Victor b.1847 TN, Virginia Eugenia b. 1850 TN, Walter J. b. 1851 TN, Charles W. b. 1857 TN, Oscar b. 1860 AR and Sarah C. b abt 1866 AR.

Benjamin Victor marries Bethana Jane Garner 18 Aug 1847 Independence Co, AR. Benjamin dies by 1879 when she marries Henry H. Burns in Independence Co, Ar.

Greetings to all Group 10 members: And any other interested observers. I have attempted to merge all of the GRP 10 information that was on the PRA site with the Pennington Grp10 data that I have. I think that I had a more source documentation than was previously posted for this group. So please look it over and advise me of any errors that you might come across. I only show 8 generations, more is available privately if you contact me. A couple of items to be aware of: 1. If I have serious doubts about the validity of a particular name I gave them another middle name of (SUSPECT). The notes attached to the name cover my concerns. 2. Any spouse that we don't have a last name for I gave them the last name of the known spouse. i.e.. If we only know John Jones's wife as Sarah, I show her as Sarah (Mrs John Jones) This helps me prevent duplicate individuals. We might have many Sarah NLN's (No last name), or just plain Sarah My site is http://home.comcast.net/jimlantz/ Look it over and tell me what you think. Jim Lantz Family Group 10 Leader

Snip <.... I am sure that Gene has and is trying to make the connection. So his GG Grandfather and my GG Grandfather is the same Benajh Pennington, but no known father for him? .... Ron> Ron: You and I have exchanged messages in the past. I'm glad to see you using the PRA mail list to ask your research questions and that our Pennington researchers are helping out by sharing information with you and the other list subscribers. Keep it up! I went back and found that your oldest known Pennington ancestor was Joel Harrison Pennington, b. 13 May 1815, d. 24 Jun 1897. He was the son of my gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather, Benajah Pennington, b. 18 Aug 1770, d. 12 Oct 1855, Stockton City, Cedar Co., MO. so we share the same ancestor. If you want more information on his family, go to my personal genealogy website at --> http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~genepenn/ . On my personal genealogy website, you'll notice that I list the father of Benajah Pennington, b. 18 Aug 1770, d. 12 Oct 1855 as Andrew Pennington, b. ca. 1745, d. ca. 1800. This is JUST a THEORY at this time and I do NOT have much in the way of genealogical evidence to support this theory. The theory came from earlier research published in the Pennington Pedigrees. I'm still looking for any information that will lead me to the identification of his parents. I had hoped that the report by Jeffery L. Haines, CG, published last year for the PRA would shed some light on the family of Benajah Pennington, Sr., b. 1724/25 and would tell us if one of his sons was Andrew Pennington, b. ca. 1745, d. ca. 1800 and perhaps, just perhaps, that one of Andrew's sons was Benajah Pennington, born 18 August, 1770, d. 12 October, 1855 but no such luck! So, I'm still looking. The PRA has hired another professional genealogist to pick up where Mr. Haines, CG, left off with his research. We're hoping that this effort will provide us with more information, and evidence, for the family and descendants of Benajah Pennington, Sr., b. 1724/25. Our DNA Study has provided us with some good solid evidence to support our theory that several of our Family Groups share a common ancestor within the last 7 - 8 generations. For more information on this, go to --> http://www.penningtonresearch.org/rc/DNA/dna.htm . To quote from the web page, it says, "There are now 12 of the PRA's Family Groups that share a common ancestor some perhaps in the last 7 generations, some before that. Those Family Groups are 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, 28, 30, 31 and 32." Jim Pennington, Group Leader for Groups 30 & 31, Carmen Johnson, Group Leader for Group 7, and myself have been working very hard to find more evidence to support the DNA results. We're missing the identity of a couple of key Pennington males in the lineages to prove the links. I hope this helps to bring you up to date on the current research for our common ancestor, Benajah Pennington, born 18 August, 1770, d. 12 October, 1855. Regarding your father, Adrian (Jack) Leon Pennington, b. 1918, d. 1957 (this came from one of your early messages but doesn't match what you said in a later message - see below), I checked Ancestry.com's records and found several possible matches in the U.S. Census records so you may want to check them. I also found a possible match in the Texas Death Index, 1903 - 2000. It lists one Adrian Leon Pennington, d. 8/6/1958 in Collin Co., TX (record #54874). I just sent an e-mail to you so you can see the record. I also have a copy of that record if you would like me to send it to you via e-mail. This matches what you described in one of your more recent messages to the mail list where you said your father "... was killed in Plano, Texas in Aug.6th 1958." Good luck with your research. Keep in touch and be sure to watch the Group 7 website for updates. Carmen does a terrific job of posting the latest news, pictures and research.

Carmen, Thank you for the Genealogy lesion 101. You all have done so much work and are most likely the only people that cat make any cense out of all the information that is out there. Real detectives I would say. I am sure that Gene has and is trying to make the connection. So his GG Grandfather and my GG Grandfather is the same Benajh Pennington, but no known father for him?

Ron, I must caution you on your line :) You are absolutely correct to Benajah Pennington - however his father is not Micajah Pennington. We don't know for sure who is father is. Micajah had a son named Benajah Pennington but he was not the same age as yours. At some point in the past, the two were merged somehow despite the 10 or so years difference in their ages. The Benajah Pennington who was son of Micajah was last known to be in Barren Co., KY and after that is anyone's guess. Gene has done a lot of research on your Benajah Pennington. The only thing that we can say for sure is the genetically your lines seems quite close to Groups 30 and 31. There are some interesting similiarities. Also, I must agree with what Barb and Melinda have said about Ancestry.com. The census records are invaluable and I spend a great deal of time using them, however the databases (family tree's) are only as good as whoever entered the data. We have a little saying "Garbage In, Garbage out." The inconsistencies that have been perpetuated are legendary for some family lines. I'll give you an example. Micajah Pennington had a son name Micajah, Jr. and then a grandson named Micajah Pennington, III. Many believe that Micajah, Jr. was married to a Cynthia Correy and a Nancy Baker. Despite the fact that Cynthia Correy married a William Jones and was still married to him in 1850. In every census until after 1840, Micajah, Jr. is married to a woman of a similar age to him. Nancy Baker and Cynthia Williams were actually both married Micajah III and not Micajah, Jr. It took a great deal of untangling by Pat Reid, Rosalie Graham and myself, but we did eventually get it figured out. However, you are still going to find in many databases, Cynthia Corey and Nancy Baker married to Micajah Pennington, Jr. People just can't seem to accept that we don't know the name of Micajah, Jr.'s wife and may never know it.

Dear Melinda, You are so right about the parts of Ancestry.com that are files sent in by folks who rarely submit documentation for their "data". I do, however, accept the original census images as much as census via microfilm and with the usual reservations. I don't think it's a good idea to go by what the Ancestry data processors interpret of the sometimes hard to read handwriting or what the enumerators thought they heard. Again, I think the Ancestry images are as trustworthy and no more so, than microfilmed images. I am trying to clarify this because you are saying exactly what I have been saying for years and it is so good to hear it. I don't even bother to read the submitted files because unless they submit good documentation, it's pretty much just go-with clues to further research. Thanks for letting me go on about this. Barb T

Ron, (and others) Be careful with the information you find on ancestry.com I wouldn't accept it as 100% accurate. You should only use it as a guide. From the information located on the OneWorldTree etc. on ancestry, I would order marriage and death records and view census records to verify the information for accuracy. Some of the information on ancestry was placed there by researchers such as you and me and shared by other online genealogist. You'll need to verify it for accuracy. I have found many, many errors on ancestry. Obviously, the census records on ancestry are pretty accurate but those census takers are only human and did make some mistakes.

Melinda , Thank you for the advice. I am not up to any kind of speed as most of you all are ,but After my mother passed away I have been contacting some of the aunts & Uncles in Oklahoma. & that is where I have found some information, but most of them are passed on and one Uncle has only some information to go on. One Cousin did some research and made a Family Tree.com chart before she passed with cancer a few years ago. I found a half brother & sister in Ok. but we don't communicate much at all. Some of the information I am putting into my writing if mostly what I can recall as a small boy and stories that were told to me when my mother wasn't around. She was much stronger and wilder than my father ever was. A real survivor who got involved with the Mob in Kansas City & Chicago. Thanks again for the warning about good & bad info.
