Good morning Melinda. It is a beautiful day here in Indiana. We have had so much rain recently I am happy to have sunshine a the 32 degrees. We had so much rain on Saturday for the funeral and again yesterday. I did not get the fall Pennington Pedigree as yet. E.C. Pennington has been asking me some questions about it. I cannot answer since I did not get it. I did get the disc and have printed part of it off but with my eyes being bad I can't read a long time at once. E.C. and Linda spent a lot of time with us Saturday evening. He also asked me about getting on the new Audit committee. I suggested he write to Gene Pennington and see what he had to say about it or any other committee, coming up. I am very happy being on the Board but I know I have not done much since the reunion. We did do the ballotts and hope we did a good job on them. I do not want to resign from the Pennington Pedigree, I have been a member for a long time. If I have you blocked I am sorry for I do not block people out When Paul comes in I will have him check it our, Take Care, Artilla (Tillie) Williams

Wendy Burton if you are subscribing to the Pennington / PRA list, could you please contact me. I need to talk to about Rminta "Mintie" Pennington b. Feb 1860 in Fayette Co., AL who is buried in Pierce Cemetery, Pierce, McIntosh Co., OK. This is group 6.

This has just come to my email on the Truitt list, since my husband descends from that lineage. Can anyone in the Pennington lineage make any additional comment about this FRANCES PENNINGTON who may be the wife of George (Trewett) Truitt?? Subject: Re: [TRUITT] TRUITT/PENNINGTON Date: 1/7/2007 12:45:06 P.M. Central Standard Time From: _weg@nc.rr.com_ (mailto:weg@nc.rr.com) Reply To: _truitt@rootsweb.com_ (mailto:truitt@rootsweb.com) Here is what I have concerning George Truitt's wife: From: _http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~wegroves/truitt-family-history.htm_ (http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~wegroves/truitt-family-history.htm) 1640 - George (I) Truitt immigrated to Accomack County, Virginia, from England. He was sponsored Christopher Kirke, who may also have been the captain of the ship on which he sailed. Current thinking is that in the early 1640s George married Frances Graves, orphan of Thomas Graves, deceased, whose guardian may have been Henry Pennington (spelled Pedenden) of Nuswattocks Creek [Dale and Ammons]. Information from [Ammons] concerning Frances Trewett follows: Over the years there has been much discussion concerning the life of "ffras Graves, Orphant of Captain Thos: Graves, deceased". After as thorough a search as possible of original documents and numerous articles about the family of Captain Thomas Graves, ancient planter, this is what I have found to make sense to me. Frances Graves was a daughter of Captain Thomas Graves and his wife Katherine born late in the year of 1621, after her sister Ann who from her own deposition was born about 1620 [Charles County Court Proceedings: 1662-1666, p281]. Frances' sisters, Katherine and Verlinda, were perhaps born in 1616 and 1618, respectively. Her brothers - John, born 1603-1604, and Thomas - are thought to have arrived in 1616 with their mother. Captain Thomas Graves is reported to have died in 1636 or 1637 [Susie M. Ames, County Court Records of Accomack-Northampton, VA: 1632-1640, xxxviii]. The first reference to Frances Graves I found was "At a Corte held in Accomacke the sixth day of May Anno 1639". Henry Pennington, as the attorney, guardian or perhaps even stepfather, reported "Received by me Henry Pennington the sum of one hundred pounds of tobacco and a cowe calf for the use of ffrancis Graves that is in full satisfaction for a parcel of land that Henry Wilson bought that did belong unto ffrancis Graves, the cowe calf and tobacco being paid by Alice Wilson, and received the twenty eighth day of December 1638". "I say received by me, Henry Pennington" [Northampton County Virginia, Book 1, p182]. This is followed several years later by the fairly well known reference: "Att a Monthly cott held in Northampton the 28th Day of November Ano 1642" Argoll Yardley, Esquire, Captain William Stone, et al ... "A certificate granted unto ffras Graves, Orphant of Captain Thomas Graves, deceased" [Northampton County, Virginia, Book 2:113-116]. By this date Frances Graves would be 21 years of age, as I understand she would need to be, to receive property in hew own name as an unmarried woman. Captain William Stone, one of those present at the Court was the brother-in-law of Frances Graves, he having been married to her sister Verlinda some years earlier. In his book, Virginia's Eastern Shore, Whitelaw calls this tract of land N30. It is also under discussion in 1645 in "The deposition of Henry Peddenden (Pennington) taken in open Cot. This deponent said that ffrancis Trewett being sick at this deponent's house desired this deponent that her husband, George Trewett, might sell her land at the old Plantation, whereupon this deponent answered saying: Do you know what you desire? And she replied saying: Yes, father, the land is myne and he is my husband and I desire that he might do with it as he pleaseth for there is not any man hath to do with it but himselfe" [Northampton County, Virginia, Book 3:p3]. On the following page of Book 3, but several items later, we find "A certificate granted unto Geo Trewett in right of his wife ffrancis Trewett, deceased, for 200 acres of land" [Northampton County, Virginia, Book 3, p4]. I do not believe that Frances Trewett was deceased at this time, but that the clerk in copying the certificate granted to Frances Graves in 1642 meant to say 'Orphant of Captain Thomas Graves, deceased'. In future descriptions of this land Captain Graves is mentioned, just as in repeating the headrights, it would be a means of identification. George Trewett did not patent this land until the 24th day of July 1651 and there we find the same description, same names in the same order [Northampton County, Virginia, Patents No.2, 1645-1651, p237]. Next, the same 200 acres of land is in a patent dated 1st September 1663 to William Melling and described as formerly granted to ffrances Trewett and lately found to escheat to his Majesty, etc [Northampton County, Virginia, Patents No.5, 1661-1665, p448]. George Trewett was a Quaker and I wonder if he could have sold the land to Melling. The deed just never has been recorded. In 1660 the Virginia Assembly passed a strict law against Quakers [Whitelaw]. It was certainly perilous to have much of a relationship with them. In a deed dated the 27th of June 1665 William Melling conveys 120 acres of this same land to William Sterling for the sum of 4000 pounds of tobacco and cash in hand, describing the land as formerly belonging to Captain Graves [Northampton County, Virginia, IX Wills and Deeds, No.7, 1657-1666, p219]. In 1654 John Watson and John Bagwell transport 78 persons including Alice Watson [Nugent, p291]. On the 24th of March 1655 George Trewett is granted 300 acres for the transport of 6 persons into the colony; Alice Watson is the first one named and I believe became part of his household [Northampton County, Virginia, Patents - Grants, No.4, 1655-1664, p32]. In 1660 John Elsey again transports Alice Watson [Nugent, p405]. In a deed dated April 28, 1662, George Trewett assigns to Michael Ricketts a patent of land and Alice Trewett relinquishes [Recorded June 4, 1662 in Northampton County, Virginia, Wills and Deeds, 1657-1660, Book IX, p69]. This was the 300 acres at Nandua that George Trewett received for transporting Alice Watson and 5 others in 1655. Of George Trewett's children, I believe Alice to be the mother of: (1) John, named for her father, born in 1662 (age 14 in 1676 when Robert Burton was named his guardian); (2) Elizabeth, named for Alice's mother; and (3) Job; with Frances the mother of all the earlier children. I believe Frances Trewett died in 1654. [Ammons] - - - - - - Recently I was informed by some folks doing research on the Graves family that they had irrefutable proof that George Truitt's wife could not have been Frances Graves. Therefore, in my Truitt database I have changed the maiden surname of George's wife to Pennington. William E.

The PRA Board wants to create an Audit Committee to review the PRA's financial records and procedures for 2006. We need three (3) PRA Members who have a little extra time to review the PRA's bank records and financial records for 2006. It is my opinion that less than three (3) hours will be needed because the PRA has very few financial transactions and records each year. If you have a background in bookkeeping, business or as an accountant, please help us by volunteering to serve in this important committee. If you're interested or if you'd like more information, please contact me at -->genepenn1@comcast.net. Thank you!

My gr-grandmother, Harriett BURNS LOTRIDGE, was the older sister of Margaret BURNS Pennington. Margaret's family came from Washington Co, PA via Guernsey Co, OH to Grant County, IN. Margaret's marriage to Aaron Pennington was the first wedding [c. 1846]performed in Grant Co, Indiana, according to a source in the Marion [IN] Public Library. Because I am at a brick wall in my research for the Lotridge ancestors of Harriett's husband Levi Lotridge/LOTHERAGE, I am trying to locate all I can find on this particular line of Penningtons. Perhaps I will find a clue to Levi's past prior to 1850 in Grant Co, Indiana. Margaret and Aaron Pennington are buried in Thrailkill Cemetery , Swayzee, Indiana. Is anyone out there related to this line of Penningtons? I am also interested in the other siblings of Margaret BURNS. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Please direct replies to my e-mail address. Marcella LOTRIDGE Criner malotcri@shianet.org malotcri@shianet.org Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.
