A friend of mine who is researching the Steward/t surname sent me this information. I thought it might help somebody researching John Pennington, d. abt. 1773, VA and his daughter, Lucretia Pennington lineage in AL, GA, VA, KY, TN. Gene Pennington (Group 7) Vice President Research Director Pennington Research Association, Inc. www.PenningtonResearch.org ================================================ Thanks to Gary Williams, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Sussex VA, the mystery has been solved as to the wife of JOHN Steward/t, son of William Stuart/Steward and Mary Shands of Sussex VA. John's wife was Lucretia Pennington as proved by her father JOHN PENNINGTON'S will, dated 1773, and in the settlement papers of 1793. His daughter is named Lucretia Stewart. This confirms that John Steward's wife WAS NOT Lucretia Parker, daughter of Drury Parker of Southampton VA. The children of John and Lucretia Pennington Stuart/Steward were (1) William B. Steward who moved to Greene Co, GA, then to Lowndes Co, Alabama, by 1819; (2) Elizabeth Steward who married (George) Gray Gilliam in 1795 in Sussex VA, moving to Logan Co, KY, and then settling in Weakly Co, TN; and (3) Frederick P. Stuart who married Cassandra Jones and moved to Logan Co, KY. This confirms what researchers of Frederick P. Stuart have stated for many, many years. Peggy A.
