Another researcher sent me this information that I think will be of interest to researchers of the Hood/Pennington surnames. Elias Green Pennington and Julia Ann Hood are mentioned on the Group 22 page at --> http://penningtonresearch.org/family_groups/fg2000-22.htm . Gene Pennington (Group 7) Vice President Research Director Pennington Research Association, Inc. www.PenningtonResearch.org ========================================================== I think your Julia Ann Hood could be the daughter of William B. Hood and Charlotte Parker of Carroll County TN. Julia Ann Pennington is listed as a daughter in the will of William B. Hood, proved in Carroll County, TN in August of 1842. I believe that Julia Ann Hood's Mother, Charlotte Parker was a sister to the Reverend and Dr. John Parker of Parker Crossroad's (Henderson County),Tennessee. Charlotte and Reverend John Parker were the children of John Parker, Sr. of Wake County, North Carolina. An abstract of John Parker Sr.'s will can be found in Abstract of Wake County Will Book 7 1804 - 1808.
