Descendants of Henry Penny through Known Sons

 

Generation Two

 

 

     2.  John2 PENNY (Henry1)  died 1 March 1864 in Union Township, Miami County, Ohio at age 84 years, 5 months and 25 days making his birth date 5 September 1779 in South Carolina. He was buried in Old Ludlow Cemetery, Laura, Miami County. In his will, dated 17 March 1862 and probated 5 March 1864 in Miami County, John left son Thomas $10 in addition to what he had already been given, which likely was the home farm. Son Elijah received $100 in addition to what he had been given, also likely land. Son John Penny, Jr. received the east half of 60 acres of land east of the Christian Church (on the site of Old Ludlow Cemetery in Laura) and west of the home farm owned by son Thomas which contained six acres. The balance of the proceeds, both real and personal, after payment of debts was to be divided equally among daughters Susannah Jones, Sarah Hayworth [sic] and Esther Hayworth [sic], and sons Richard and Elisha. Allen H. Davis, a friend, was appointed executor of the estate, and Robert Wright and William S. Welsh were witnesses to the will.

     John married Esther THOMPSON, a Quaker, circa 1801 in Union County, South Carolina. In the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting South Carolina records for 18 April 1801 was listed: PENNY, Esther (form. Thompson) dis mou. "Dis mou" is an abbreviation for "disowned married out of unity," which confirms the fact that the Pennys were not Quaker but did marry Quakers and were involved with that community. Esther was born 1 March 1785 in South Carolina. Her parents were Richard and Susannah (Steadham) Thompson. She died  5 December 1860 in Miami County, Ohio at age 75, and was buried in Old Ludlow Cemetery.

      On 10 March 1802 Henry Thickpenny bought 100 acres of land from Thomas Lamb, Sr., on a branch of the Tyger River in Union County, South Carolina. That same acreage was conveyed to John Thickpenny (ie. John Penny) 7 January 1804 by Sheriff William Rice. John, as John Thickpenny, then sold this property on 19 October 1805 to John Gray. From this information it is possible to surmise that patriarch Henry had departed South Carolina by January 1804. John and his family did not follow until after October 1805 and he first appeared on the tax rolls for Ohio County, Kentucky in 1807 as John Penny. He was last found on the tax rolls there in March 1809. John’s father Henry and brothers Thomas and James were on the 1810 federal census in Ohio County, Kentucky, however John was not, and cannot be found in the census index. It is not known if he was just missed by the census enumerator or was by that time on his way to Miami County, Ohio. The first concrete evidence of his presence in that county was a 1 June 1818 purchase of land in Union Township, Section 11, Range 4, Township 7.

     Known children of John2 PENNY and Esther THOMPSON were as follows:

                 +   5        i.    Susannah3 PENNY, born 14 October 1802 in South Carolina; married Asa JONES.

                 +   6        ii.    Thomas PENNY, born 5 September 1804 in South Carolina; married Rachel MCCLARY; married Susannah HAWORTH.

     3.  Thomas2 PENNY (Henry1) was born in 1783 in South Carolina. He died 19 November 1851 in Darke County, Ohio at age 68, and was buried in Old Ludlow Cemetery, Laura, Miami County, Ohio

     Thomas married Christiana HUNT, daughter of Ralph and Rachel (Campbell) Hunt, 22 October 1807 in Ohio County, Kentucky.  In the absence of her father, Henry Penny made an oath that Christiana was over 21 years of age. Christiana was born 6 October 1779 in South Carolina and died 20 January 1857 in Darke County, Ohio at age 77 years, 3 months and 14 days.  She was buried in Old Ludlow Cemetery.  Christiana, a Quaker, was disowned from the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting, Union County, South Carolina on 20 June 1801. The cause was not stated. Her father Ralph was born circa 1740, probably in New Jersey. After his wife Rachel died 18 March 1790 in South Carolina he married Mary Cook 3 January 1793. Ralph died in 1803 in South Carolina. In the mass migration of Quakers from South Carolina northward, several of Ralph’s and Rachel’s children moved to Warren County, Ohio. At least two sons, Ralph, Jr. and Isaiah, and daughter Christina went to Ohio County, Kentucky.

     Thomas Penny was first found on the property tax rolls for Ohio County, Kentucky on 30 July 1808 with 100 acres on a fork of Long Falls Creek. The 1810 federal census for Ohio County showed him with a wife and 3 young sons, and he remained on Ohio County tax rolls through 1814.  By 1820 he and his family were in Union Township, Miami County, Ohio.

     Known children of Thomas2 PENNY and Christiana HUNT, both born in Ohio County, Kentucky, were as follows:

                +   14        i.    John F.3 PENNY, born 18 June 1808; married Mariah MCCLAIN.

                +   15        ii.    Henry PENNY, born circa 1809; married Agnes MARCUM.

     Based on census records Thomas and Christiana likely had at least one additional son and two additional daughters.

Those children have not as yet been identified.

According to "The History of Laura," Samuel and Eliza purchased the lot at 408 South Main Street in Laura in the summer of 1883 and built an unusual brick house featuring a two-story bay window.

     6.  Thomas3 PENNY (John2, Henry1) was born 5 September 1804 in South Carolina. (The 1870 census gave Kentucky as his place of birth.)  He died 28 December 1876 in Miami County, Ohio at age 72, and was buried in Old Ludlow Cemetery, Laura, Miami County.

     In Marriage Records, 1807-1865, Miami County, Ohio, two dates were given for Thomas’ first marriage: one for Thomas Penney and Rachael McClary 9 November 1825, and the other for Thomas Penny and Rachael Clery 8 October 1825.  Rachel was born 12 October 1807. Her surname also has been seen spelled Clary; the correct spelling is not known.

     Thomas married second 9 February 1831 Susannah HAWORTH who was born 4 February 1812 in Ohio, the daughter of James Ward and Anna Emily (Coppock) Haworth. Anna Coppock was a Quaker and James was not, so when they married 28 July 1797 she was disowned for having married out of unity. James and Anna Haworth lived first in Newberry County, South Carolina, then migrated to Newton Township, Miami County, Ohio in 1806. They had 16 children.

The child’s age at time of death has been variously interpreted as 6 years, 3 months and 7 days, which would make his birth date 18 March 1857, or 1 year, 8 months and 7 days, for a birth date of 18 October 1861, or some six months after his father’s death.
