Hi, I FINALLY found what I was looking for. Yes, in 1870 there were possibly two different Pennington families in my neck of the woods. A couple of years ago, I went north and found a few things. In 1870 in family was in Tucson William H. that was born in Texas (1849) also Margret b. 1844, she was a seamstress also born in Texas. The one I am curious about if this Chas. Penninger age 28 born in Wuerttemburg, GERMANY. This Charles, a shoemaker lived here in Phoenix and commuted to Prescott, owned land, opened a store, which is still there. I talked to the lady that leased the building because his painted name is still on the building. She says he was a shoemaker and then bought into a type of Goodyear Store. Remember those in the 40's? I believe she is really talking about the son of the original Wm. Penninger. Anyway, the store is located just of Whiskey Row (downtown square in Prescott, AZ. My interest was raised when I saw Wuerttemburg. To large surnames in my family are from the Wuerttemburg, Baden area of Germany (the heart of the Black Forest. Very interesting. I also know that the Pennington name is related to some of the Indian Agents for AZ. Territory. But I haven't had time to look further into that. Hey, another piece of paper was lifted off my pile!
