I have enjoyed reading all of these discussions and their responses. Even the smallest tidbit of information on any Pennington may be of some help to a Pennington researcher that has not yet found their family (as I am one of those). My roadblock is Samuel Pennington born in either 1812 in Tennessee or 1795 in Alabama. Depends which census you are looking at. I know it is the same person as the children listed in the 1850 census in Tennessee are the same children, only 10 years older in the 1860 census in Arkansas. His wife was Emily born either 1814 or 1817 in NC. His mother may possibly be a Sarah born 1785 in Virginia. This person was living with him in the 1850 census in Hardin Co Tennessee. So keep these discussions going. Marie Jenkins Penington
While your's is born later; a Samuel Pennington (born in the 1765 period) is a child of Abel Pennington (d. 1819 AL) and Sarah {Sweeten}. He is mentioned in the will and various documents in Georgia and Alabama. Unfortunately, I cannot find him again after those mentions. I wonder if he went to Tennessee and had a son named Samuel? What are the other children's names? Does it say where your Samuel's parents were born?
