The information which appears here was produced from the data contained in the John French Master File (JFMF).  Please remember that much of the information came from other Pennington researchers and depending on the researcher's knowledge, expertise and sources, may be in error.  At times, John French, who had researched the Pennington family for over twenty-five years made decisions about what he entered based on his own opinion.

Viola Ell is working hard to update this information.  As soon as an updated Family Group Summary Description is ready, it will be posted here.  Check back often for updates.
