About Rachel Beeson (Pennington)
PLEASE DO NOT ADD PARENTS TO THIS PROFILE. ANY PARENTS FOUND IN WEB TREES IS PURE CONJECTURE. There is no substantive proof that her father was the noted Quaker author, Isaac Pennington, who married Mary Proude.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~beeson/beeson1.html The parentage of Rachel Pennington has been argued as long as there have been Beeson family researchers. Perhaps, someday, we will know more about Rachel, but, for now we must be content with the knowledge that she was there to help found this well-known family.
Rachel Pennington was born about 1662, the child of unknown . She married Edward Beeson on November 7, 1682, in Thrussington, Leicestershire. They migrated to the Colonies about 1682 - 1684 and arrived at New Castel, Delaware they then settled in Chester County, Pennslvania. They had five children in 15 years. She died about 1712, in Chester County, Pennsylvania, at the age of about 50. Research indicates that Rachel Pennington was "not" the daughter of Isaac Pennington. The Quaker Yeoman Vol. 24 Num 1 Page 3 , available evidence places Rachel Pennington as a member of a Pennington/ Penington family in Thrussington in Leicestershire.
