Hi, Tom--

What branch are you interested in? Is your descent through this same Penny
family? Are you following the Penny's on Long Island, or are you also
interested in those who moved to Illinois? I'm glad you wrote, because
since I joined the list, I hadn't seen any messages about this group of
Penny's and I didn't know if anyone else was researching them.

Have you read the article published in the Long Island Forum, "The Penny
Family of Red Creek" by Helen Penny Walter? Also, this family is discussed
(some of the same material) in "A Family Record of the Foster Family, the
Penny Family, and the Squires Family" by Alonzo Foster and in "The South
Forks Squires, Long Island, New York" by Tiger Gardiner. There's also a
web-site devoted to the Penny families, The Penny/Penney Family Home Page at
http://www.inch.com/~penney/gene/pages/josep001.htm.

The earliest Penny I'm confident of is Nathan Penny, born (1720? bapt.
1-13-1725?) and died 6-16-1768 at Southold (buried Jamesport?). His wife
was Mary Paine (or Pain), born around 1724, died 12-19-1789, buried
Aquebogue; they married 10-23-1755 at Southold. There is an Edward Penny
who may have been the father of Nathan. I haven't been able to find much of
anything on these earliest Penny ancestors.

My line is through Nathan's son Joseph Penny, born 1768 at Aquebogue. He
married Deborah Squires around 1789 at Red Creek. He died 4-15-1856 at age
77 and is buried at Red Creek Cemetery at Hampton Bays, NY. (I think the
name is spelled "Penney" on his tombstone.) They had 13 children, among
them my Mary Penny born 6-25-1793.

I'll be anxious to hear about your line--

Andrea
