Hi Bill,
Well, this is something to think about.
I think the William Penny born in 1751 could be my guy, since he had a
daughter who married in 1796. Where did you find his birth date?
Where in Pennsylvania did they come from? Do you know when and where he
married Elizabeth? I'd like to look in those
areas for more details, since I live near a fairly good library.
Thanks,
Lise

>>Hi,
>>I'm new to the list. The most recent Penny in my husband's family was
>>his fourth great grandmother, Mary Penny. She married Joel Doss in
1796
>>in Lincoln Co., NC. She died sometime after 1831, probably in Greene
>>Co. or Tuscaloosa Co., Ala., where her children lived.
>>
>>Her father was William Penny. His will was probated in Oct. 1818 in
>>Lincoln Co. I do not know when or where he was born. He had a wife
who
>>died after giving him 8 children, then he married Abigail Bryant in
1798
>>and may or may not have had more children. The will abstract is a
>>little ambiguous there.
>>
>>His mother's name was Elizabeth. I have a copy of her will, which
>>refers to him, and also to Alexander, Mary, and Margaret, wife of
>>Archibald Houston. I think they also lived in Mecklenburg Co., NC.
>>I don't know if they moved or the county boundaries moved.
>>
>>There is a deed referring to a John and Margaret Penny in 1769 in
Meck.
>>Co., but I don't know what relationship they are to William.
>>Also one in 1774, "William Penny and wife Elizabeth of Meck.".
>>Since I don't know when he was born it's hard to tell if this is him
or
>>a relative.

>>Looking forward to learning about Pennys,
