PENNINGTON /GUFFY I'm looking for relations of Nancy PENNINGTON b. 1 apr 1785 Ky married 27 nov 1810 in Franklin Ohio, d. 25 july 1859 Sugar Creek, Putnam Ohio. She was married to John Mcdowell GUFFY. Children: Henry, Aquilla, Joseph, Jane, Nancy, Sarah, Nelson and Elizabeth. A help in locating any and all family connections would be greatly appreciated. I have two other dead ends in Putnam on my direct lines that perplex me:George William MCCLANE born abt. 1793 VA married 14 july 1818 Franklin Oh. d. 1853 Putnam Ohio. Spouse Margaret E.A. FLEMING Children:Ellen, Elinor, Zachariah, Elizabeth, William, Jacob and Margaret. Finally,Mary Ann THOMAS b. abt. 1750 Wales Lived with husband in Putnam around 1769 (spouse Thomas WATKINS) children Elizabeth, Thomas, Watkin Ann, Mary, Jane, Ellen, Margaret, Harriet, Susanna, Susan. If you by chance run on to James PIERCY who married Annah TALLMAN in Franklin abt.1790 or Jacob John COBLE b. Abt. 1769 d. 20 apr. 1846 Franklin Oh. please let me know. I have the TALLMAN line to the 1400's but the branches have disapeared in Ohio. Any help with any of these lines would be of great help as it seems everything in the states with most of my lines flowed through Putnam or Franklin. I am a Reynolds and there is that line also in Putnam. Thanks for your patience with this.
