 ==Family History==
-: The Pennington family is one of our better documented ancient lineages, largely thanks to the fact that the earliest progenitors were gentry who stayed mostly in one place for at least ten generations. Originating from a cadet branch of the Percy family, the first "of Pennington" ancestor was [[Sir Gamel de Pennington]], a bastard son of Sir Alan de Percy (1069-1135). He was not born in the village of Pennington, but moved there as a young adult, possibly after marrying a daughter of Ulf (Ulfsdottir, given name unknown). Pennington village is less than 20 miles from the long-time seat of the family, at Mulcaster, near Ravenglass in present-day Cumberland, on the west coast of England north of Liverpool. It was Sir Gamel's grandson, [[Sir Alan Pennington I]], who settled in Mulcaster. The name of the family seat, Muncaster Castle, is from a corrupted version of "Mulcaster", so called following a long-standing feud between the Pennington and Mulcaster families.

The name of the family seat, Muncaster Castle, is from a corrupted version of "Mulcaster", so called following a long-standing feud between the Pennington and Mulcaster families.
 : After about ten generations, a cadet branch of the family left Muncaster/Mulcaster and eventually wound up in or near London. The first American Pennington, [[Ephraim Pennington I|Ephraim "of Connecticut"]], was part of the New Haven Colony, founded in 1641. His son, [[Ephraim Pennington II]], removed across the bay to present-day Newark ("New Ark of the Covenant"), New Jersey after the New Haven Colony's charter was dissolved by King Charles II. Several generations later, [[Ephraim Pennington V|Ephraim "of North Carolina"]] moved from eastern Pennsylvania down the Great Wagon Road to North Carolina or western Virginia. At least two of this Ephraim's sons, [[Timothy Pennington|Timothy]] and Richard, moved to Kentucky. Timothy's son, [[Riggs Pennington|Riggs]], worked as a surveyor in Indiana and Illinois before migrating with extended family to central Texas. Descedants of Riggs Pennington and other branches of the large Pennington clan have spread throughout the US and world.

Originating from a cadet branch of the Percy family, the first "of Pennington" ancestor was [[Sir Gamel de Pennington]], a younger son of Sir Alan de Percy (1069-1135) and Emma de Gant (b. 1071). He likely was not born in the village of Pennington, but moved there as a young adult, possibly after marrying a daughter of Ulf. Pennington village is about 10 miles from the long-time seat of the family, at Mulcaster, near Ravenglass in present-day Cumberland, on the west coast of England north of Liverpool. It was Sir Gamel's grandson, [[Sir Alan Pennington I]], who settled in Mulcaster.
