- 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 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.
