I would also like to see all of you fill in the information for your immediate family and send direct to myself and or Joyce so that she can complete the information. Photos & stories are also appreciated. Example Tommy Gilliam has a lot of information and can handle his branch of that tree as does Alonzo and Rocky Pennington etc. If each of you provides what you have we can really start putting these puzzle pieces together. Names, date of births, deaths burial location, birth location or any information you may have. I have discovered a number of cousins that I did not know exist and would like to thank all of you for your input and help. I have only been involved heavily for a couple of weeks but Joyce and Julie Martin have been working on this for years. They are awesome and have done an excellent job and I really appreciate their efforts and dedication. It looks like we have discovered that Alonzo Charles Pennington had at least two brothers Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Sidney Pennington and a sister Melissa Pennington. We have discovered a possible mother and father to them as well. Joyce McAnally is a descendent of Thomas Sidney and Julie Martin is a decendent of Benjamin Franklin. The rest of us are decendents of Alonzo Charles. Any and all information that any of you may have going back up that chain would be appreciated. I have discovered that my grandmother Florence Wilkins Pennington's family came across the Mayflower and we are certainly hoping to continue to research and find out all we can. Any suggestions or thoughts please let us know. I will also be sending you all a copy of the photo of Alonzo's immediate family including our grandpa's? Once again thank all of you for your help, support and just being related.
