Hi Pennington researchers, As a new member of PRA and my first email to the list listing my Pennington connection or rather my husband's, I just have gone through some the John French Master File. I believe that there is a possibility that Jacob Pennington who married Catherine Van Pelt is my Jacob. I have a LYLE book that has several Penningtons in it. I have Abraham married to a Van Pelt because of the LYLE book. A lot of research is needed to be done and for right now it has to be on the internet. I have done on site research in Highland County, Ohio. Anyway if this is true or can be proven it would be Group 3. I believe that previously that I was Group 8 and then started looking at Group 9 because of the Hampshire County, VA. I am sending five generations of my Pennington line. What I have is thanks to many people who have helped me. I would be interested in everyone's opinion on the list. Thank you, Judy Minihan Descendants of Jacob Pennington I Generation No. 1 1.
