It wasn't until I got another post that I saw this one. I have so little information on the Pennington branch that I am of little assistance to you. My gr-gr grandfather was Oscar Harrison Pennington b. 1857 m. Sarah Thompson. His father is listed as Riley Pennington b.@ 1826. That is the extent of my information.

I have little information on my Gr-grandmother Mariah's family and would appreaciate any help. She was a sister to your Grandmother Roxie. As for searching the Mercer County cemetery's, I used Findagrave.com and had some luck. Several cemeteries are on private property, others were so overgrown the search is difficult. We looked in 2006 for Oscar Harrison Pennington & Sarah (Octavia or Gusteva)Thompson Pennington but had no luck. Locals were helpful but few knew family history.

Author: caryrjr Surnames: Meadows, Perdue, Wiley Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.westvirginia.counties.mercer/873/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello, all.. I'm looking for a Jordon (Jordan/Jerdon) Meadows who was in Mercer County in around 1870. He fathered an illegitimate daughter, Nellie Mae Frances Perdue born Mar 03, 1870 in Mercer County. Her mother was Rhoda Catherine Perdue, born Feb 1850 in Giles County, Virginia. There are several theories as to why "Catherine" and "Jerdon" didn't marry- the most common that they were closely related somehow- but I have found no evidence of this and am now leaning toward the idea that Jordan may have been married at the time. One way or another it was a taboo relationship. There is a Jordon Meadows born about 1798 who married Susannah Payne- could this be the guy?? He was in Mercer at the time and the only Jordon "Jerdon/Jordan" I can find in the county at the time. IF this is him- not only was he married but a good deal older than Rhoda Catherine Perdue. Does anyone have any resources outside of ancestry that might be able to see if there are any more Jordans in Mercer around 1870? Any help would be appreciated.
