 Daniel
Pennington Letter - This is a letter written from Daniel Pennington to his
son John Wesley Pennington. Daniel's line is Daniel>Levi>Micajah.
I have believed in the past that Daniel was a son
of Levi and grandson of Levi. However, further research has shown that
he is a son of Levi and brother to Andrew Pennington b. 1813 and half
brother of Levi b. 1794. Special Thanks to Doyle King and Wayne King for supplying
a copy of this document.
