From Paul Pennington’s site: Notes on Jonathan Pennington: Farmer. Strong Abolitionist. Poisoned by "the copperheads". Sources: 1. Jonathan Pennington is listed in the "History of Cass and Bates County, Missouri 1883" as "a native of Virginia, who was married there to Miss Jemimah Neithercut of the same state. They had a family of twelve children." 2. PP 17-2, p. 36 3. Family Record 4. Estate papers of David Pennington, Harrison County Missouri 5. Carter County, Kentucky Census 1850 6.

FGR from Betty Inman: has birth 15 May 1817 Lived Carter County, Kentucky. 1850 Census lists Jonathan and Jemima and seven children. 4 Aug 1858, 50 acres of land deeded over to Abel of Carter County, Kentucky for $1.00. Both Jonathan and Jemima signed in Lexington, Lafayette County, Missouri. In 1858 George Nethercutt and his wife, Sara Cornett lived in Jasper County, Missouri. He was a farmer and a carpenter who made wagons to sell. He later moved his family to Salina County, Missouri. In 1868 they moved again to Lafayette County, Missouri. In the 1860 Census of Lafayette County, Missouri, Jemima and her children are listed with her brother David Nethercutt. Jemima is listed in the 1880 Census in Gentry County, Missouri. In 1863 when her son William joined the Army, Jemima lived in Cass County, Missouri. Property settlement of David Pennington was the farm he was left by Jemima. It was in Harrison County, Missouri (1928). Vandella, last child born to Jonathan and Jemima, was born 1859 in Missouri. Jonathan must then have died in Lafayette County, Missouri. Becky (?) says the family lived in Carsville, Missouri in 1861-1865, over 100 miles south of Lexington. Becky lives in Sheldon, Jasper County, Missouri.

Notes on Jemima Neithercut Pennington: Source: Family record; FGR from Betty Inman (has birth 3 May 1818, death 4 May 1893). Mid-wife. Went to Warrensburg, Missouri to nurse son William J. Pennington; stayed till end of war. Born of slave-owning parents, Jemima kept a picture of Robert E. Lee on her living room wall all of her life.

Thomas Bryson reported in February 2017:

Elizabeth Pennington, b. 25 Oct 1839 City of Grayson, Lawerence County, Kentucky which is now Carter County, Kentucky, m. 17 Jan 1860 Lexington, Lafayette, Missouri to James H Bryson born in Lewis County Kentucky, d. 18 Sep 1921 Wymore, Gage, Nebraska,

An article of Jonathan Penning, believed to be father and Issac Penning his brother, had them leaving Grayson in 1859 for Missouri. (In May 1859, Isaac and Abigail and their children moved to Lafayette County, Missouri where the “country was very well adapted to all the purposes of agriculture.” Isaac’s brother Jonathan and his family moved to Missouri about this same time.)
