The surname Pennington originates from their place of residence. While a man lived in the village where he was born, he would not be known by its name, as that would be no means of identification … all in the village would then be so named. But when a man left his birthplace or village where he had been known, and went elsewhere, people would likely refer to him by the name of his former residence. One might acquire a place name as a surname by living at or near a place. This is particularly true of topographical features. When people lived very close to the soil, as they did in the Middle Ages, they were acutely conscious of every local variation in landscape and countryside.

The name Pennington is one of the oldest in England. Surnames did not exist before the Norman Conquest (1066 AD). The population was so low that names of neighbors were not duplicated often enough to pose problems. With the conquest, surnames began to be taken by the nobility. By 1200 most families used two names, though the second name was not always hereditary. The name Pennington started, as so many English surnames did, as a place name. It is a manor, parish and village in the old land of Cumbria, later called North Lancaster and now in the new county of Cumbria. The Cumbrians are of mixed Brigantes tribe of Celts and Viking ancestry, with a strong mixture of Saxon, Danish and Irish blood as well. The manor is exactly the same size as the parish which formerly belonged to the Cistercian Abbey of Furness, and includes 4,160 acres or six and oneself square miles. The parish was the smallest in Lancashire. The village was composed of 50 houses and 284 people in the mid nineteenth century, and is about the same size today.

The name was spelled Pennegetun in the Domesday book of 1086 AD, the first census of England initiated by William the Conqueror, when all of England and Wales had only about one and a half million people. The name apparently arose either from the British word pennig (little hill) or from pennaig (prince) and the Saxon word ton (town). This is the case in our ancestral name, Pennington. Apparently, they lived on or near the Pennine Chain, which is a long line of mountains in northern England. The Pennine Chain runs through the central part of the country, starting in Northumberland and Cumbria counties and extending south to Derbyshire and Staffordshire counties. Added to the word "Pennine" was the word "ton" which means "a place". Put them together and you get "Pennine-ton" or someone from the "place of Pennine".

The earliest reference to the Pennington name dates back to before the year 1100 in Cumberland (now called Cumbria) County. The year 1100 …the Middle Ages. Times of knights in shining armor, lavish banquets, wandering minstrels, kings and queens.


Gamel de Penintone, Muncaster England is the progenitor of PRA Family Group 27. Pennington Research Association Group 27
The oldest Pennington we know of, Gamel de Peninton or Penitone, bore an Old Norse first name, indicating Viking ancestry. He held the manor during the time of King Henry II, count of Anjou and a Plantagenet, who reigned from 1154 to 1189. The grass covered ruins of the original manor house and castle still stand, but in about 1242 the lord of the manor moved to Mulcaster, now Muncaster castle at the mouth of the river Esk, some twenty miles to the west. The lord of Muncaster was generally a knight until 1676 when he was made a Baronet. The oldest male Pennington given names are those of the lords of Pennington and Muncaster. Gameli's sons were Benedict and Meldred. Alan was lord in 1208, followed by Thomas (d. 1240), Gamel, and many Alans, Johns, and Williams. The various cadet (younger sons) branches in the area had such names as Allen, Christopher, Edward, George, Gilbert, Henry, Rowland, Thomas and William from 1500 through 1627. The female names from this period were Agnes, Alice, Allys, Catherine, Elizabeth, Isable, Mabell and Margaret. By 1250 the Pennington names were all in Norman form. In general, Old English (Saxon) and Cymric (Welsh or British) names were a minority in the population. It may will be that other inhabitants of the village of Pennington took the town name as a surname during the 1100s and 1200s, yet since it was a very tiny village, it is very likely all were closely related anyway. Gamel de Peninton can with very great confidence be called an ancestor of all the Penningtons today.

In 1783, his descendant was made a Baron. During the War of the Roses, Holy King Harry, Henry VI, became lost after the Battle of Towton in 1464. Sir John Pennington rescued him near Muncaster. In gratitude, King Henry presented Sir John with a fragile glass cup called the "Luck of Muncaster" and a blessing that the family would never run out of male heirs so long as the cup remained unbroken. Though the cup still survives, the last male Pennington of this line died in 1917. The present lord, Sir William Pennington-Ramsden, is descended from the family of the mother of the last Lord Pennington.

Ancient manuscripts note the Penningtons as knights in the King's service and living in Cumberland The Penningtons' were, for the most part, knights successively and men of great valor in the King's services. Knights were men of noble birth.

Coats of arms first appeared during the early 1100’s. The knights wore heavy metal armor during battle and helmets covered their faces. They displayed coats of arms on their shields and flags so their followers could recognize them on the battlefield.

--------Pennington family, of Warter
The Pennington family originally came from Pennington in Furness, Lancashire, but resided by the River Esk in Cumberland from the middle of the thirteenth century. They were connected by marriage to the Percy family. **

William Pennington (1655-1730), 1st baronet, married Isabel Stapleton, daughter and heiress of John Stapleton and in 1678 the manor and rectory of Warter (the site of a demolished Augustinian priory) were given to the married couple. The estates were inherited by his son
Joseph Pennington (1678-1735), who was comptroller of excise from 1723 and MP for Cumberland. His son succeeded him as comptroller of the excise and was colonel of the Cumberland militia during the Jacobite rebellion in 1745.
Joseph Pennington (1718-1793), was succeeded by
John Pennington (1737-1813) and was Lieutenant-Colonel of the 37th regiment of infantry and MP for Milbourne Port 1781-96, Colchester 1796-1802 and Westmorland 1806-8 and 1813. He became 1st Lord Muncaster in 1783. He was an early supporter of Pitt and a friend of William Wilberforce. The castle in Cumberland overlooking the Esk estuary from which John Pennington took his title was built by him in the 1860s around a medieval shell. His title passed to his younger brother,
Sir Lowther Pennington (1745-1818), who had a long army career until the 1790s. The third Lord Muncaster (1802-1838) was succeeded by
Gamel Augustus Pennington (1831-1862), who was succeeded in his turn by his younger brother,
Josslyn Francis Pennington (1834-1917). The 5th Baron Muncaster was a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of the East Riding. He sat as MP for West Cumberland 1872-80. In 1878 he sold the Warter estate to the shipping magnate, Charles Wilson, and the title became extinct on his death. **
--- Brithish Peer born Dec 25th 1834, he was educated at Eton. He entered the arny and served with the 90th Light Infantry in Crimea, taking part in the storming of Redan, Sept 8,1855. Later, he exchanged into the Rifle Brigade, and left the army with the rank of captain, He succeeded his brother in the Irish title in 1682. From 1872 -80 he represented W. Cumberland in the House of Commons, and the Egremont div. of Cumberland, 1885 - 92, and was created a baron of the U.K. in 1898. With Lady Muncaster and others he was captured on April 11, 1870, by brigands at Oropos during excursion to the plain of Marathon, on which occasion some of the party were killed. He was liberated to secure the ransom demanded by the brigands, who, hearing that the Greek government had dispatched troops to capture them, murdered their captives. The ladies of the party were liberated before the tragety. Lord Muncaster died at Muncaster Castle, Mar. 30, 1917.

Today, near the coastal village of Ravenglass in Cumbria County, stands Muncaster Castle. Dominating the River Esk, Muncaster Castle has been owned and occupied by the Pennington family since 1208. Muncaster Castle was a sanctuary for King Henry IV during the War of Roses. In 1464, Henry IV presented the Pennington's with a glass bowl which they named "The Luck of Muncaster". Henry declared that as long as the drinking bowl remained intact, the Penningtons would live and thrive at Muncaster Castle!

But why was it named Muncaster Castle instead of Pennington Castle? The original Mulcaster was David de Mulcaster. David's original name was David Pennington. His father was Benedict Pennington, whose name appears in the Pipe Roll of 1185. A "Pipe Roll" is a kind of ancient English census. In the 12th Century, during King John’s time, David Pennington changed his name to David de Muncaster so people would know specifically where he was from. The word "mul" or "mun" means hill and the word "ceaster" means Roman fort. Therefore, Mulcaster (sometimes Muncaster) means "Roman fort on a hill". Muncaster Castle was built on Roman foundations. Some of David’s descendants kept the surname "Mulcaster" even though they were descended from Penningtons. The Pele Tower stands on Roman foundations and was extended through the ages into the castle of today.

The present owner of Muncaster Castle is Patrick Gordon-Duff-Pennington. If you visit Cumbria County, England, you can tour Muncaster Castle. The furniture of the 16th and 17th century is in wonderful condition. The Ougley Dinner Service on display in the dining room is said to be the most decorated service made by the Derby factory. A replica of the "Luck of Muncaster" drinking bowl from King Henry IV is also on display. The octagonal library was refurbished in Victorian times and contains over 6,000 books. The Drawing Room has a barrel ceiling and the Great Hall is one of the earliest in England. The view down the Eskdale River and the rhododendron gardens are famous and the woodland garden extends to about 75 acres.

Does all this talk about knights and castles and Cumbria County England in the Middle Ages mean anything to us today? Could our family be related to these same Penningtons of Medieval England? Not everyone today with a Pennington name in their lineage is related BY BLOOD to those Penningtons, but they are DESCENDED from a family who was related to this original Pennington family. **

A glass bowl, known as 'The Luck of Muncaster', has been preserved by the Pennington family since the 15th Century. The story starts in 1464 and involves King Henry VI. He was the only son of Henry of Agincourt and Catherine of France and had been crowned King of England at the age of eight. By the time he had reached his early forties he had lost his throne to Edward IV. And had been taken prisoner during the Battle of Hexham. He managed to escape, and fled to the hills of the Lake District where he lived rough for about a year. He was found by a shepherd in a sorry state and taken to Muncaster Castle whereupon his true identity was discovered. Sir John Pennington, whose home Muncaster Castle was, gave Henry food and shelter for as long as he requested it. In gratitude, Henry gave Sir John a glass drinking bowl and said it was given to the family with a prayer that they might prosper for as long as the glass remained unbroken. The glass remains unbroken to this day and the family has prospered. Hanging in the bedroom used by King Henry is a painting of him kneeling before an altar with the glass bowl in his right hand.

Pennington/ ed. by William Ellis, Proceedings of the New Jersey Historical Society vol. 63 no. 4 October, 1945, pp. 199-210. "The first settler in America was Ephraim Pennington who came to New Haven in 1643. He died in 1661 leaving his widow, Mary, a daughter Mary, and a son Ephraim. The son in 1667 married Mary the daughter of John Brockett and the same year came to Newark. He had two sons, a third Ephraim who settled in Mendham, and Judah, who remained in Newark, dying there sometime prior to 1738. Judah was survived by his widow Anne, who died in 1749, a daughter Experience, who died young and a son, Samuel, also a lifelong resident of Newark." ** --- Ephriam probably emigrated in 1642/43, who was one of the founding members of the Colony. There is a map of New Haven showing the location of original landholdings, and Ephraim Pennington's name was on a medium-sized lot, indicating that he was one of the early settlers there. --- We can reasonably suppose he came from a middle class London family of Congregationalists since that was the state religion and the leaders of the colony came from St. Stephens parish. Ephraim is clearly related to the Muncaster and London Penningtons since his arms differ only slightly from the Lords Muncaster and Sir Isaac: the mountain cat has a different pose.(From Pennington Pedigrees 3-2 p.66) --- Many of the more strict Puritans from New Haven moved together to Newark, NJ (which they founded -- the name "New Ark" was a referance to a "new Ark of the Covenant" since the Puritans were sometimes called Covenanters) including some of the 1st generation, following the edict from King Charles II that their colony must be merged with Connecticut as punishment for their harbouring two "regicides." Ephraim Pennington was among those who removed to NJ. --- Ephraim swore Oath of Allegiance as a Colonist in Connecticut in 1644. He and his wife were members of First Church, New Haven, CT.

He had 10 children. ---On his tombstone was inscribed a Latin inscription, which, translated, : This marble is erected to the memory of a man imbued with sacred lore and no less experienced in all human knowledge. From his earliest youth he was dedicated to holiness - a strenuous advocate of the Christian faith, and second to none in devotion. Of easy manners - humane in his conduct - an exemplar of every charity-adorned with a thousand virtues his modesty concealed. ** ---He was probably trained as a hatter, but at the outbreak of the Revolution joined the Continental Army and became, in 1777, a sergeant in the Second Regiment of Artillery under Colonel John Lamb and Major General Henry Knox. He advanced to the rank of second lieutenant in the Second Regiment of Artillery in the United States Army as of September 12, 1778., and at the end of the war was brevetted captain by a special act of Congress. --- Pennington’s diary was written from May 4, 1780 to March 23, 1781 during his time as a second lieutenant in the army. He describes the daily life of a soldier, writing about marches, dining with friends, letters received, visits home, and news and hearsay from the front. The entries track Pennington’s movements during this period but also give insight into the movements of the larger army and major figures in the Revolutionary War, including General George Washington whom Pennington dines with. During the course of the diary, Pennington himself marches from near West Point, New York to and around New Jersey and back again. He also mentions general problems with which the army is dealing, for example looting and dueling, and the resulting executions and deaths. More particularly, he writes of the betrayal of General Benedict Arnold in September of 1780 and the "mutiny of the Pennsylvania line" at Morristown, their surrender, and punishment (including the execution of two of their leaders) in January of 1781. After leaving the army, William S. Pennington studied law in the Newark office of Elias Boudinot, in addition to serving in the New Jersey State Assembly in 1797, 1798, and 1799. He was elected to the State Council in 1801 and reelected in 1802, the same year he was admitted to the bar as an attorney. During the next two years he served as the clerk of Essex County and was elected to fill a vacancy in the New Jersey Supreme Court, where he remained on the bench until 1813. For the majority of that time, he was also the Supreme Court’s reporter. In 1812, Pennington was the Republican candidate for governor of New Jersey and the following year won the gubernatorial election, becoming New Jersey’s governor from 1813-1814. The year after he left office, President James Madison appointed him a judge of the Federal District Court for New Jersey, a position that he kept until his death eleven years later. ** ** 1.

Pleasant Cemetery, Newark, New Jersey md Caroline Burnet May 23, 1820 b 1797 d 1872 dau of Joanna Alling and Dr. William Burnet ** ** --- He graduated from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University), studied law with Theodore Frelinghuysen, and was licensed as an attorney in 1817, as a counselor in 1820, and as a sergeant-at-law in 1834. From 1817-1826, he was a clerk in the district and circuit courts of New Jersey, where his father was a judge. In politics he was a Whig/Republican and was elected as a member of the 1828 New Jersey State Assembly and as the governor and chancellor of New Jersey from 1837-1843. During his time as governor, he was involved in a New Jersey congressional election scandal referred to as the Broad Seal War, where the Whig commissions he signed were overturned by Congress and given to Democrats. When Pennington left office, he returned to his law practice and the hope that he would be appointed a chancellor or ambassador. He turned down President Millard Fillmore’s nominations as territorial governor of Minnesota and as a claims judge under the treaty that ended the Mexican War, and did not return to public office until his election as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1858. He served as a representative until 1861 and was the speaker of the House in 1859. After he left office, he returned to his law practice in Newark, New Jersey. He was a lawyer from Newark who served as governor of New Jersey, 1837-1843, and as a Whig and Republican representative to the 36th U.S. Congress, 1859-1861. Many of his letters and legal papers relate to his duties as a trustee for the New Jersey Protection and Lombard Bank. Included is correspondence of Alfred P. Condit, John Cox, Israel Crane, Andrew Gray, John C. Hamilton, Phebe Pennington, James Robertson, and John Wilson. 1. William S. Pennington 2. Henrietta Pennington 3. Mary Pennington 4. Edward R.

"History of Essex & Hudson Counties" Vol. II, by William H. Shaw refers to a 13,500 acre parcel of land known as Horseneck that Newark settlers purchased from Indians in March 1702. These Indian land grants were pronounced void by the proprietors during the period 1740-1750, a lawsuit resulted in disaster for the settlers and many lost their homes. Only 35 families held bona fide titles, and at least 66 other families were dispossessed. 1. ***Ephraim Pennington IV b.1688/9 Timothy Pennington - d. Nov-Feb 1749/50; NJ is the progenitor of PRA Family Group 20. Pennington Research Association Group 20 2. Timothy Pennington [Peneton) abt. 1715 – Nov/Feb 1750 ---- ** At this time Timothy Pennington d. Nov-Feb 1749/50 of Mendham, Morris Co. NJ is the oldest documented Pennington in PRA Family Group 20. The time and place of his death is documented by his will written 30 Oct 1749 and proved 22 Feb 1750 in Mendham. An inventory of his estate was performed on 25 Feb 1750. He leaves his estate to his wife and three sons that were not of age at the time of his death. Family historians believe that Timothy Pennington is the son of Ephraim III Pennington, grandson of Ephraim Pennington of CT progenitor of PRA group 1. This belief is based upon the diary of Major William Sanford Pennington 1757-1826, Governor of New Jersey. Because church records in the Whippany [1719], Basking Ridge [1717], and Mendham [c.1720] Presbyterian churches are not extant until the 1760’s and land and tax records are spotty for western New Jersey, this line will most likely remain undocumentable. It is also speculated that Ephraim Pennington of PRA group 4 is a brother of Timothy. DNA testing strongly indicates that these lines are related. An additional possible brother that is being researched is Levi Pennington of Hardwick Twp. Morris/ Sussex/ Warren Co. NJ. A New Jersey Proprietors Land Grant was made to a Levi Pennington in Hardwick Twp. Morris Co. (now Warren) NJ in 1750, in a line directly west of Mendham, Morris Co.

This could be Benajar Sr. or Benajar Jr. , or both.

DAR PATRIOT INDEX - CENTENNIAL EDITION PART 3 --- Micajah (Micage) Pennington was presented to the goverment by Elizabeth Pennington Barton in her application for a Revolutionary War pension. His marriage to Rachel Jones was mentioned and the names and dates of birth of all their children.Micajah Pennington appears in the court records of Rowan County, NC, in 1765-1766, he was appointed Constable "in the neighborhood--up the Catawba River". He was also a Justice of the Peace in Wilkes County, NC. Many feel that this was the Micajah Pennington who served with Capt. Enoch Osborn's Company from Montgomery County, Virginia in the Revolutionary War. He apparently died in Ashe County, NC, about 1812. This is according to a power of attorney as given by his son, Benejah. More information on Michjah was found in a Bible record that gave his birth date as 28 April 1743. Michajar and Rachel were married on Jan. 28, 1761, and were the parents of 10 children. --- Micajah, Levi, Levi Jr., Ephraim, and Aaron Pennington appear in the 1815 Tax List for Ashe Co. NC. Place names were North Fork, South Fork, and Bare Creek. These were apparently the children and grandchildren of Micajah Sr. --- According to The Upper New River Vally-The British Period, Justices of the Peace living in the Upper New River Valley from Wilkes County were William Colvard and Michajah Pennington. Those in Montgomery County were Enoch Osborne and Minitree Jones. In this same document a court case was cited as follows: "1776-Sept. 16. The Wilkes Co. Court ordered the confiscation of the estates of John Barton, David Smith, Thomas Waters, Daniel Manning, Doty William Atkins, Joshua Yeats, Micajah Pennington. These properties were ordered sold at a public sale at the court house on Sept. 20th. This order was amended and the sale postponed until ample notice could be given of the sale. " No reason was given. John Barton was Micajah's son-in-law. This sale could be due to the fact that North Carolina was a proprietary colony, with the Earl of Granville holding title to much of the land. Residents of the Old North State before the Revolution paid a quit rent to the Earl for some years then perhaps could acquire title to the land they lived on. In 1777 the North Carolina legislature passed a confiscation act which took the Earl of Granville's holdings and transferred title to the State. The state in turn issued land grants to its citizens for a nominal fee. Five land grants were issued to Micajar Pennington, three to Benajah Pennington, one to Levi Pennington, and one to Abel Pennington between the years of 1778-1783. (Upper New River Valley Land Grants). --- Micajar Pennington is listed in the 1800 Ashe Co. Census. The household consisted of 1 female (0-9 yrs.), 1 female (45+), and 1 male (45+).

Cynthia Correy married a William Jones and is still alive in 1850 with William Jones as her husband. A Cynthia Williams married a William Jones, but it is believed that she married Micajah Pennington III, Micajah, Jr.'s son. Nancy Baker has been thought to have also been married to Micajah, Jr. However, she is also considered to be a wife of Micajah III and dies before 1822. Micajah Pennington, Jr.'s wife is alive in the 1810-1840 census listings. She died sometime after 1840...so we will have to be satisfied for now with a unknown spouse for Micajah, Jr. ** --- 1: 1800 Census , Ashe Co., NC - 30100-2001000 Census --- 1830 Census , LeRicharde Co., VA, Pg. 315, Ln 22, 1-Male 60-70, 1-Female 15-20, 1-Female 50-60 Census ---1840 Census , Lee Co., VA, Pg. 128 - Males - 1 (70-80), Females 1 (30-40), 1 (60-70) --- 1850 Census Harlan Co., KY- living with Charles Census ---Children: 1WILLIAM THOMAS 1784 2 JOSHUA 1790 3MICAJAH 1798. 4JAMES DANIEL 1797 5MARGARET 1799 6CHARLES 1804. 7HENRY 1805 8MARIAH 1806. 1.

Recorded in the 1870's and beyond. Reprinted in Kentucky Explorer, Volume 10, No 4 - September, 1995. p. 86) ---My great grandfather, Jesse BOLLING, came to Kentucky in 1810. My grandfather, Elijah BOLLING was born at the Three Forks of Powell River in Lee Co., Virginia in 1798, and when he was 12 years old his father removed to Perry Co., Ky. Daniel DUFF baptized by great-grandfather, Elijah BOLLING. Rev. Andrew BAKER baptized by great-grandfather at Blackwater Church, now Hawkins County, Tenn. My great-great grandfather was Major John BOLLING. He had 19 sons. I do not know that there were any daughters. --One of these sons, William BOLLING married Martha JEFFERSON, sister of Thomas JEFFERSON, President of the United States. --Other sons were, Jesse, above mentioned, Benjamin the oldest born in 1752 or 3. Jesse was born 1765. --ROBERTA the wife of U. S. Senator Archibald DIXON, was the daughter of Dilaney BOLLING of Missouri and the granddaughter of Major John BOLLING, aforesaid. --Gov. John Young BROWN'S wife was a daughter of Archibald DIXON. (Roger CORNETT, son of the original William CORNETT built the house where Hamp. COLDIRON lives, in 1802, he married Zilpha CALLAHAN. This makes the date of the CORNETT'S coming to Kentucky 1796-1799 probable. Men from Crug's Ferry at mouth of Sexton were at the raising. Roger CORNETT was into slaves and land. He owned the COLEMAN Survey, patented in 1783 of 5,600 acres.) --There are some BOLLINGS in western Kentucky. One went to Congress some years ago, perhaps 1870 or 1872. ---The first BOLLING who came to America was Colonel Robert BOLLING of London, England. I think old Cava BAKER made the rhyme on the "Cattle War," I have always heard it that way. ---Old Julius Bob BAKER and William NEAL were in St. Clair's defeat. BAKER held a Major's Commission. They are both buried at Buffalo, Owsley, County. NEAL requested to be buried beside BAKER. ---John GILBERT and John AMIS married sisters of James BOWLING [sic]. From Eli, John (grandfather of Judge Josiah Combs'S wife), Christopher, William, Joseph, Nancy (SIZEMORE) another sister of these, have descended most of the BOLLINGS in Clay County. ---Jesse BOLLING, my great grandfather married Mary PENNINGTON of Lee County, Va. He was born in North Carolina at Hillsboro. His father was born in Virginia. ---David PENNINGTON, her brother, was living during the War of the Rebellion. ---My grandfather, Elijah BOLLING stayed with him in Lee Co. during the late war. ---Jesse BOLLING had ten children as follows: Hannah married HUFF; Mary married Abram BARGER; J ustice married ??; John married Polly LEWIS; Jesse married LEWIS for his second wife; William married a daughter of Daniel DUFF; Elijah married ROBERTS; George married LEWIS; a daughter Margaret `Patsy` Bowling b. 1804 Lee Co., Va.

Betty was born October 5, 1941 to O. Richard and Capitola Friddle Tannahill in Lewiston, ID. Her father passed away in 1948 and her mother remarried a year later to Gwen D. Shearer. Betty grew up in Lewiston and went all 12 grades through the Lewiston School District, and graduated in 1959 from Lewiston High School. On December 12, 1959, she married Eugene Johnson, with whom she had spent 46 wonderful years of marriage. For many years she was the organist and choir director at St. James Church and directed the music for the Ecumenical Council in 1974. She composed a song for the dedication of St. James Church called the "Song of St James" that has been sung in the valley and as far away as South America. Betty was well known throughout the Lewis-Clark valley for her vocal talent, her piano and organ playing and as a music teacher. Betty was a wonderful mother who was involved in PTA, Swim Team, Football, or any other activity that her children were involved in. During the past 25 years she had also enjoyed gardening, computers and working on genealogy with her husband and daughter, Carmen. All three hobbies had brought her many wonderful friends and newly found family. In addition, she enjoyed working on her LHS class reunions every 5 years and the Gage Family reunions every other year.

They settled in one neighborhood, about one mile southeast of where the town of Industry now stands, and commenced hewing out homes for their families in the wilderness, for like all other pioneers of that day, they preferred to clear their farm land in the timber, rather than to cultivate that already prepared for their use by the hand of nature. The neighborhood was named, in honor of one of its pioneers, Carter's settlement. A few years afterward, Mr. Carter removed to Missouri. Mr. Pennington, probably a year afterward, removed to Knox county, this state. He resided there until the spring of 1837, when he went to Texas, where he died. -----Riggs Pennington, brought his family from Knox Co, Illinois to Washington Co, Texas in 1837 and settled on April Fools Creek near Independence. Riggs and his wife Johana were born in Virginia, but had lived in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and possible Arkansas before settling in Texas. Riggs had been a farmer, surveyor, politician and a soldier. He was in the Mounted Volunteer Rangers in the "Blackhawk War", in Illinois, at the same time as Abraham Lincoln. ---Blackhawk War 1832 NAME RANK COMPANY PLACE OF ENROLLMENT REGIMENT BRIGADE -----PENNINGTON, RIGGS PVT J STINNETT SCHUYLER CO BOGART *-* ** ** ** *--* ***** 1.

TN b. abt. 1796. ** --- Richard and Hannah moved right after their marriage to near the mouth of Grassy Creek, right on the border. In February 1778, Richard's first son Joshua was born there... --- Richard’s eldest son Joshua (named for his probable uncle) moved to White County, TN between 1811-1814 and settled near McMinnville where he died in 1868. ---Mrs Dorsey's book "Christopher Gist and Some of His Descendants," Pg 209 - Mary 'Polly' Gist was b. abt. 1783, d. Oct. 10, 1839, m. Feb 20 1806 Barren Co, KY to Joshua Pennington, who was b. Feb. 23 1778, d. abt 1999 Warren Co, TN. "They moved to White Co, TN soon after their marriage. His parents, Richard Pennington b. 1752; d. abt 1813 near Sparta Tenn. and his wife Hannah [Boone] Stewart, b. Aug 24 1746; d. 1828 Monroe Co, KY, widow of John Stewart and a sister of Daniel Boone, moved from Barren Co, KY to White Co, TN about the same time. Hannah [Boone] Pennington is buried near the old Mulkey Church near Tompkinsville. Joshua and Mary [Gist] Pennington had five daughters and six sons," but Mrs. Dorsey does not list them. __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. __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. ** ** --- Reg: Sarah Howard : I have a Sarah Howard as the second wife of Joshua Pennington(b 21 Feb,1778/Rowan Co., NC/d 1868 McMinnville, Warren Co., TN/bur near Doyle,White Co., TN @ Bethlehem Cem..Sarah is buried at the same location).Joshua was first married to Mary "Polly" Gist who died 10 Cot, 1839 inMonroe Co., Ky I need to know if Sarah Howard (I have no dates at all)was related in any way to Natheniel Gist and his wife Mary Howard Gist.The children of Nathaniel and Mary Howard Gist are: Zipporah,Christopher, Nathaniel, Joshua, Richard, Joseph, Thomas(not proven) andBenjamin.

John Stuarts remains were found on the south east side of Bif Rockcastle in a large hollow tree. His saddle and bridle also were lying by him shot pouch and powder horn that was the way they identified him. His left arm being broken. All his bones being there. He was supposed to have been shot through the body by means of his arm being broken before his remains were found the suposition was that he had been drowned. The name of the person who found the remains, I have forgotten though he was a Elerly person. As to the 5th request according to the caccount of my mother, my uncle Edward Boone salt being very scarce in Kintucky at the time none have been brought into the country. Uncle D & Edward Boones having found a lick, I think it was called Blue lick. Those 2 men having gone to see whether there were any chance for salt to be made, were on their return to the fort came to a place which were an abundance of walnuts & Edward says "Let us stop and crack some of those walnuts. Uncle D says not so Neddy for this is a very likely place for Indians and I have an uncommon dread on _______ my mind at this time. The reply of uncle E was to Uncle D. Puh Daniel I don't believe there is an Indian in one hundred miles of this place Edward laid down his gun & commenced cracking & uncle D stood by with his gun in his hand. Immediately the Indians fired. Uncle E. fell dead. Uncle D. was missed haveing seen that his brother was certainly dead, he broke with all might and movin to save his own life. The Indians firing at him and missing how many I know not he bining (on of the )* swifest ( men on Earth)* he would have ran the Indians with great ease had it not been for a dog the Indians had which would catch him by the heel every now and then. He not having yet discharge his gun jumped behind a tree and shot the dog. Then made his escape to the fort a distance I think of seven miles. The Indians in close pursuit after. As to 6th request, I can say to you the Boone family did stop in the Virginia Vally after they left Tennissee since the time as I remembered of their stay before they went to Yadkin. As to the 7th request, I know not where my uncle Daniel was born. 8th request, the date of my mothers birth was the 2nd day of August 1747. To the best of my recollection as to the trip after the Indians you speak of I have no recollection as to the trip you speak of to my mother, Virginia & jer age when wed to Stuart I have no present recollection not who went though a smart crowd. My age 76 year, I was born February 23rd, A. D. 1778. You request me to state to you whether I kept house or lived with some of my children. Sir, I say to you, I keep house and land and have (though I say not by way boasting) plenty of everything and am able to work and work daily & enjoy good health. You have made the request in your letter of me to state in particular my circumstances as such you shall have a sketch of the same. I was married to a respectable Lady February 20, 1806 by the name of Polly Gist. We had 11 children, five girls we raised six boys and four girls. Our youngest daughter died. They are all living and married as far as I know. My eldest son lives in Illinois. Two sons and one daughter liveing in Texas. One son in the western dist Tenn. 1Onedaughter liveing near me. My died Oct 10, 1839. I was left with one son and three daughters. In 3-1/2 years they were all married, I was left without a housekeeper 1-1/2 years I discovered one of twp things I had to do. Either breakup housekeeping or marry. I was pestered much in mind for I though I was too old to marry and too young to breakup housekeeping. But by a transient (?) view you may guess which I done. I married a Lady by the name of Sarah Howard August 25 A. D. 1844. You state you are in the way to heaven and in the Baptist order. I enjoy the comfort of religion but differ in sentiment or name I belong to the Scrotian Baptist. I believe in the christian Baptist doctrine. I am sir truely gratful for your Especial notice toward me. I hope you good success in your work on the life of my uncle Daniel Boone. I would be glad for my name to have a place in your bookk.
