During my research on the Group 7 Penningtons or the descendants of Micajah Pennington and Rachel Jones, I've spent a lot of time researching other Penningtons in Ashe Co., NC. I had to have some way of identifying who was who and which Pennington branch they "branched" from. DNA research has proven that there is link between these two families, just what the link is is still up in the air. In fact, there is a great deal that is somewhat mysterious about Samuel Pennington. He was thought to be a bound boy from England who ended up in Ashe Co., NC. No one knew who he could possibly be linked to. Nowadays, we know that he is connected in the larger picture of the Ashe Co., NC Penningtons. It is also a mystery as to where he went after he left Ashe Co., NC. His wife died in 1846 and he supposedly went to TN and started a new family. Yet, his children stayed in Ashe Co., NC and the surrounding area. I am only including two generations here. If you are interested in learning more about this family, I suggest that you contact Darlene Anderson who is the PRA Group leader for Group 12.
