The goal of this page is to share
photographs that might be of interest to other group members. One of the
types of photographs that will be featured here are gravestone pictures.
Many of us do not have an opportunity to view our ancestor's graves...and seeing
these photos can give us that opportunity. I would be pleased to place
family photos of early Penningtons, or pictures of Pennington landmarks.
If you have photos like this and you are willing to share...please let me
know. Please note that when you see a small picture, that the photograph is
a thumbnail view. You should click on the picture to see a larger version
of the picture. If you have any problems...please let me know.

1929. He was married to Mary "Polly" Pennington on 10 Jul 1875.

Harvey Pennington was b. 29 Feb
1828 and d. 21 Apr 1922 and was the son of Levi Pennington and Elizabeth
Henson. He was married to Easter Little around 1850. He is
listed as being buried in the Pennington Family Cemetery, Hurricane Twp.,
Ashe Co., NC in the Ashe Co., NC Cemetery Books...but Rosalie Graham, who
supplied this picture said that it was taken at the Little Windfall Rd. in
Lansing, Ashe Co., NC. Perhaps someone can tell me if that is the same
area. |
