Introduction
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.
For example, this Family Group Summary, contains a notation that the father of Abel and Abraham Pennington may be Ephriam Pennington. Please note also that this is NOT proven and was intended to be a research note for John as he continued his research. John made a presumption that several of the Family Groups were connected but was not able to prove it. For example, if you read the Family Group Description for Group 1, Ephriam Pennington, you can see how he made the theoretical connections to some of the other Family Groups.
Please read the Family Group Summary carefully. You will be able to see those parts where John French added his own comments to help clarify a particular person or other genealogical note.
We have listed the first 3 generations of descendants for both Abel and Abraham Pennington to help with your research.
