Rod, I have a Samuel Pennington (born c. 1776 -- possibly in North Carolina)
married to "Mary" and an Isaac (born about 1778). Both were sons of Abel
(d. 1819 in Al). The group 11 Penningtons migrated to North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama so you very well could be part of this group.
The middle initial "L" was very widely used in this set of Penningtons. I
don't find a direct connection but it is worth exploring. Shirley
