FAMILY NOTES

HUSBAND NOTES: William "Big Bill" Pennington

General: The children of William were named in the will of Bemjamin, his father, in 1868.

He was hung in the Civil War because he wouldn't take sides.  The 4 men who hung him died mysteriously after the war was over because of "accidents". - Reece Pennington

"...William was hanged by the TORRIES because he would not tell where his father's gold was.  I have visited the place where they say he was hanged. (just out side the town of Vernon, ALA.  Some one has built a house over the sight now." -- Pauline Burgess Pennington

Several children of William lived in Franklin County, AL according to a diary seen by Pauline Burgess Pennington.  These included Silas, Martha, Valentine, and Riley.  His grandson Wes is also mentioned.

Also had a child named Nancy (could be nickname for one of the others?) Probably from his first wife.

CHILD NOTES: Abner B. Pennington

General: Abner PENNINGTON b. 1838 Fayette Co., AL [CW, Union] [In 1920 Lamar Co., AL with grandson b. 1901 in his household. Lucinda not in his household. Could Abner Pennington b. 1877 in 1920 MS be his son?]  Abner fought in C.W. as member of Union Army.  The old timers believed that this had something to do with the rumor that William (Abner's father) was hanged by the Home Guard because he would not or could not tell where Benjamin Sr. had hidden his gold.

CHILD NOTES: Clarenda Pennington

CHILD NOTES: Margaret J. Pennington

General: Margaret was not in the 1870 census of Lamar Co., AL.  William Thompson married second a Beady Tarwater.  Beady did not want Mary Jane in her house, so Mary Jane was left an orphan with her grandfather in 1870, Lamar Co., AL. census.

FAMILY NOTES

HUSBAND NOTES: Joshua P. Pennington

General: When Joshua's parents moved from NC. to KY. in 1797, he was some 19 or 20 years old and not married.  So it is quite likely he went with the family in their various movings about.  Joshua must have been an industrious, hard working farmer for in 1804 it is found he owned 100 acres of land on Line Creek in Barren Co.  Two years later he married Polly, the daughter of William Gist, and the couple moved to TN. sometime later.  In the White Co., TN, court minutes he was listed as a juror 1811-1812.  The tax list for White CO. show he was taxed on 222 1/2 acres of land in 1816 and again in 1826 he is mentioned, as is a William Pennington who might have been one of his sons.  In the 1820 White Co. Census, Then about 42, is listed having a wife, 2 sons b/t 10 and 16, 3 sons under 10 and 2 daughters also under 10.  On 18 June, 1854 from his home at McMinnville, TN., he wrote about his children as follows:  "We had eleven children:  we raised six boys and four girls. Our youngest daughter died.  They are all married and living as far as I know.  My oldest son lives in Illinois. 

Two sons and one daughter in Texas, one son in the western district of TN.  One son and one daughter in Nashville, TN., one son in Smithville, TN, one son and one daughter living near me."  From PP1-1, pg 2.

Comment- In the above statement about his children- It don't add up to 6 boys and 4 girls. It is 7 boys and 3 girls.  So the above statement is in error. JF

When Polly died on Oct., 1839, one son and three daughters were left at home with their father.  Within three and a half years they were all married and Joshua was left alone.  On 25 August, 1844 he and Sarah Howard were married.  There were no children of this union.

WIFE NOTES: Mary (Polly) Gist

Birth: Mary was born in Washington Co., NC, now Green Co., KY on 13 Oct. 1786.

Death(1):

General: In the early days the boundary between KY. and TN. was not clearly defined, so the place of death of "Polly" might have been in White or Warren Co., TN.

CHILD NOTES: William Pennington

Birth(2):

CHILD NOTES: Richard P. Pennington

General: Had 14 children - 7 lived to maturity.

CHILD NOTES: Granderson Pennington

Birth(2):

General: In the 1850 U. S. Census record of Warren County, Tennessee, Ganderson and Sarah Pennington appear with seven of their eight children. Ganderson's profession is shown as "Trader" and the birthblace of their children indicate that they lived in Illinois for a time in the 1830s but were living in Tennessee again when William P. was born in 1839.  Ganderson died there in 1873 and was buried in Bethlehem Cemetery at Doyal, Tennessee where his father Joshua and grandfather Richard are also thought to have been buried.

Nothing is known of Sarah's origins, family history, or ultimate fate.

Lineage of Samuel P. Pennington from Lynn Hauldren, Wilmette, IL.  See article in PP9-2 page 41.

I, Lynn Hauldren, have strong evidence, no proof, that Samuel P. is the son of Samuel, possibly Smith Samuel, who m, Sarah Etherington 4 Nov. 1789.  And that this Samuel in turn, was the son of Samuel b. 7 Sept, 1733 who married Jane ____.  This last Samuel may have been son of John & Sarah Biddle who m. 3 Apr. 1716 in Cecil Co., MD.

The lineage from Samuel P. Pennington up to John Pennington and Sarah Biddle is speculation.
