Descendants of Levi Ephraim PENNINGTON

 

  • Generation No. 1

1. LEVI EPHRAIM3 PENNINGTON (MICAJAH2, BENAJAH1) was born 21 Dec 1767 in Wilkes Co., NC, and died Bef. 1860. He married (1) PEGGY Abt. 1805. He married (2) ELIZABETH Abt. 1788. She was born Abt. 1775 in NC ?, and died Bef. 1805.

Notes for LEVI EPHRAIM PENNINGTON: As you may have noticed, I have labeled this Levi Pennington as Levi Ephraim Pennington.  After a great deal of research, I believe that Levi Pennington was known as Ephraim.  One of the most compelling things that have I have found is that Levi's descendants live on land that was owned by Ephraim Pennington.  Land is almost always given to one's descendants.  One also will find an Ephraim Pennington in the Andrew Pennington's household in 1850.  That Ephraim Pennington's birthdate is abt 1769 - our Levi Pennington's birthdate is 1767.  So, the date itself is close enough to be questionable.  Here is a posting that I made on the PRA Group 7 list - If you have a comment or can poke holes into what I am saying - I'm willing to be questioned.  "There have been several Pennington's out there floating around that we have never really been able to pin down. One of the more significant ones is the Andrew Pennington in the 1850 census with an Ephraim recorded with him. Now, this is where it gets a little dicey. Please read through this before you make a "judgment!"

In 1810, there is no Levi Pennington in the Ashe Co., NC census - no problem, we have always assumed he was over in Lee Co., VA. However, there
are three E. Penningtons. Levi, Sr. was supposed to have had a son named Ephraim, the other E. Pennington could be the Elizabeth Pennington who was
the widow of Benajah Pennington, but who is the third E. Pennington. (He is aged 26-45) In 1820, we find Levi Pennington recorded as a male Age 26-45. This is obviously the Levi Pennington b. 1794. We have always assumed that Levi Pennington b. 1767 died before this census, but there is a strange Pennington that shows up listed as Ephraim Pennington aged 45+. He has two sons one between 0-9 and the other 10-15. He also has two young females. but since we can't trace them let's leave them out. This Ephraim Pennington is sitting on land owned by Levi Pennington - here is the theory. Levi Pennington b. 1767 and Ephraim Pennington are the same person. His name should be Levi Ephraim Pennington and he probably assumed the Ephraim name when his younger son came of age. This isn't as far fetched as you might think. Levi Pennington b. 1794 ends up sitting on land that was owned by Levi Pennington 1767 and Ephraim. If you look at the 1850 census, Andrew Pennington is recorded with an Ephraim age 81. Next door is Elijah Pennington (son of Levi b. 1794) and Nathan Eastrage m. Edy (daughter of Levi b. 1794). Then Andrew Pennington is found in Johnson Co., TN in the next census. Now we would make the conclusion that Ephraim age 81 was born in 1769. However, dates are not always that accurate in the census. Levi was b. Dec 1767 so the time difference is not that significant.

Here is something else. I was initially told that the Daniel Pennington who married Alpha King was the son of Levi Pennington 1767, I later concluded
based on a letter that he really was son of Levi b. 1794. What I was told initially was correct. The Andrew Pennington who was a son of Levi b. 1794 died in the Civil War. Daniel Pennington talks about staying with his brother Andrew Pennington in Johnson Co., TN (the letter is written from
Johnson Co., TN) then he mentions going over to see his other brother Levi. I can't tell for sure, but this letter looks as if were written about 1874.
So, in all probability the Andrew Pennington in the 1850 census in Ashe Co., NC , who has an Ephraim aged 81, who sold is land to Elijah Pennington and moved over to Johnson Co., TN, is the brother of Daniel Pennington and the brother of Levi Pennington, who were both alive in the 1870's.

Something else of interest is this. Andrew Pennington and his wife Mary Elizabeth Pope moved to Shingletown which is in the Laurel Bloomery area of
Johnson Co., TN. I know for a fact that my Alexander Monroe Dollar moved to Shingletown. Alexander Monroe Dollar was married to Elizabeth Pennington, daughter of Levi b. 1794 and he moved sometime after 1880. For a long period of time, Monroe Dollar and Elizabeth lived next door to Levi Pennington. Levi Pennington died sometime shortly before 1880 as he is not in the census. Monroe Dollar probably moved to Laurel Bloomery because there were opportunities there plus the land he was living on probably went to one of Elizabeth's siblings.

Mary Almaroad and I have been discussing these Ephraims for a while and she became quite convinced that Levi b. 1767 was connected to Ephraim. I
finally got IT yesterday. After looking at this Andrew Pennington and all the bits and pieces associated with him then going back on my previous
research, I am convinced that this Andrew is part of Group 7 and a son of Levi Ephraim Pennington and his second wife (by some accounts Peggy and
others say Sarah Lewis). Levi Pennington b. 1794 is from the first family that Levi Ephraim had. Also, let's remember how many Levi's, Micajah's,
Benajah's, and Ephraims that we have had to slog through. Those names are very common in the Group 7 Penningtons as are the names Mary, Martha, and Elizabeth. Trying to untangle these Penningtons has definitely been a struggle."  REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A THEORY - LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

Comments:  This is my personal line to the Micajah and Rachel Jones Pennington.  It was rather difficult to make the connection because of the commonality of many of the given names.  There are several Penningtons with the name of Levi and Elizabeth...and that is the information that I had to go on.  Much of my info was provided to me by Mary Almaroad.  She made the connection between Elizabeth Pennington and her brother Levi Daniel Pennington.  

LLevi Pennington, Jr. (they are not referred to as Sr. and Jr. but it helps differentiate between them within these comments)  Levi is in the North Fork Twp., of Ashe County and in 1870 is recorded as living next door to his daughter, Elizabeth and her husband Alexander Monroe Dollar.  Levi dies sometime after 1870.  Many of descendants stayed in Ashe County...but at least two of his children moved to neighboring Johnson County, Tennessee.  Some of Levi Daniel Pennington's descendants lived there, and Elizabeth Pennington's family moved there sometime after 1880.  My own family moved out of Johnson County, Tennessee in 1910 and went to Grouse Flats, Oregon.  My great-grandmother was Elizabeth's granddaughter.  If you are interested in seeing pictures of Sophia Dollar, please go to my photo pages on Our Genealogy Home Page.
