The JFMF has two Ephraim Pennington's that may match the Captain Ephraim Pennington in York County, PA. The first one is listed as born 09 Apr 1738 in Cecil County, MD. The notes on him list an Ephraim on the 1800 York County, PA Census: 2 males 1774/84 and 1 female 1774/84. This apparently is two different Ephraim's. It's worth noting that the Ephraim born in 1738 was the son of Henry Pennington and Anna Johnson of Cecil County, MD. They also had sons named Isaac and Abraham. Abraham died in 1772 in Cecil County, MD. The other Ephraim Pennington is listed in the JFMF as born abt 1740 and died abt 1816. He married a McAllister and had a son named Timothy born in November 1759. Ephraim's wife died while giving birth to Timothy or shortly thereafter. Timothy married Mary Fullen? of Rockbridge County, VA on 10 Nov 1785 (I believe this date to be in error as it is the birth date of Tim's son Ephraim-perhaps it should read 23 Feb 1785). They later moved to Lincoln County, KY where Timothy died in 1801. His widow remarried and moved to MO. Timothy and Mary had seven children, one being another Ephraim Pennington who is listed in Lincoln County records for some time. He (Ephraim) had a son named Timothy Morgan Pennington.
