As far as the Pennington Search site I am not sure where I fit in. I am working with a young lady by the name of Julie Martin who may also be a descendent of Benjamin Franklin Pennington we believe to be a brother of my great grandfather Alonzo Charles Pennington 1856 or 1859. We also believe their other brother was Thomas Sidney Pennington and they moved into Van Sandt, Texas after the Civil War. We know that Alonzo moved into the Woodville Indian Territory in 1903-1905 and became an ordained Baptist Minister in Marshall County (Madill). He also was preaching and performed marriages in Johnston County (Tishomingo area). I think that Benjamin may also have moved into Oklahoma and apparently Thomas stayed in Van Zandt Canton, Texas. My great grandfather Alonzo had sons J.B. who was a teacher throughout Oklahoma and a song writer and lived in Ringling, Oklahoma when Alonzo died in 1936. William Carlton Pennington (W.C.) was in Sherman-Denison area and I think ended up in Geary, Oklahoma. William Carlton had 13 children a few I am in touch with. Lela or Lilly Pennington ended up in Oklahoma but not immediatel y sure where. Sid (nickname Ed) Pennington have no real information on. Walter Henry Pennington 1891-1968 was my grandfather and lived in Mansville, Fox, Ratliff City and died in Wilson Oklahoma. I think he was born in Texas possibly Van Zandt. I have a news paper clipping where Alonzo was living in Ringling at the home of J.B. when he died in Jan, 1936 which said he was married to Susan Fowler who may have been previously married to Gross? The article said that his father and brothers fought in the Civil War out of Mississippi and we believe his father was from Alabama but again we do not have any information on his father and mother. This is where we are stuck. We did locate information that their may have been a Thomas Sidney Pennington (will call him senior for purposes of this information) He was born in 1813 in Alabama and married to a Nancy born in 1820 with no further information. We are finding that there was a heck of a lot of Pennington's in this world and running into a number of brick walls so any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
