All,
Is anyone researching Ephraim Pennington, or the Penningtons in general ?

I ask because I ordered a land grant from the NC Archives for a land grant of
Ephraim Pennington Jr. for the land between William Pennington and Burrell
Spence in 1803. Alas, this land grant does not mention a waterway, which is
what I wanted most. Burrell Spence is my hubby's 3rd g-grandfather and for a
5 year period moved into what is now Alleghany County and lived near the
Penningtons. He then went back to Carroll Co VA.

I think Ephraim and Burrell lived somewhere along Glade Creek judging by the
earlier lists and census for the neighbors I know lived in that area.

A Spence female married Samuel Brackens/Brackins, so the Brackens are related
to the Spences. Peter Spence lived with a Moxley in the 1850 census.

Anyway, I'd like to know if the Brackens family lived on the old Burrell
Spence lands.

Thanks for any direction,
Carolyn
