Family Group 20 originates in Morris and Somerset Counties in New Jersey with a probable connection to the Penningtons of Newark, Essex County New Jersey.  By 1850, descendents of this family can be found in Jefferson County New York, Fulton County Ohio, and Macoupin and Pike Counties in Illinois.  Further information on these family lines can be obtained by contacting Mandy Colgan at: mcolgan@ecfs.org or click here to view this Pennington family tree.

Timothy Pennington  abt. 1715 – Nov/Feb 1749/50

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. NJ.

Twenty Men From Warren Served in Revolution "Warren History", Volume One, No. 9, Spring 1993, Warren Township Historical Society.

John Penington (he spelled his name with one "n") received his pension on Feb. 19, l833, to begin March 4, l834, at the rate of $26.66 per month. Seventy-one when he applied, Penington was born on Sept. 3, l761 and died Sept. 21, l841, survived by his widow, sons James and William, and a daughter, Sarah Smith. Penington made his "declaration" in support of his application in open court:
