Penn Family/Black and maybe Indian

Donna Dunn — 8 Jan 2000 7:30:35 GMT

Hi there everyone. I am just beginning my search and don't have much info to share. The only clues I have are from oral histories. My grandmother, Sarah Penn, was the daughter of Bertha Sampson Penn Ragland. I am not sure of the first name of Bertha's husband,but family members say it was William Penn. Sarah (the daughter) was raised in the Carisle/Gettysburg, PA area. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? I will keep looking and will share any info I find. Thank you.

Hiram Penn b.1877 Netherlands son of Jacob

WClayton43 — 5 Jun 2008 2:05:45 GMT

Hiram Penn b. 15 Apr 1877 Netherlands married Gertrude Frances Taylor (license 28 Jun 1907) in Champaign Co IL and lived in Chicago. They had 3 children Robert E Penn b.abt.June1908 IL, Thomas Varance Penn b.abt 1911 IL, and Laura V Penn b.abt 1914. All these folks consistent with their birth dates can be found in the family of Hiram and Gertrude Penn in 1910-1930 Chicago Census. But I can find no evidence of any of them after 1930. Thomas Varance Penn was named for Gertrude Frances’s brother Thomas Varance Taylor who died 1909 in Urbana, IL. Laura V Penn was named for her Mother who died in Champaign Co IL between 1880 and 1900.
Hiram J Penn was the son of Jacob Penn b.Jan1834 in the Neatherlands and his wife Anigje was born in Wetering, Netherlands (probably Wetering, Steenwijk, Netherlands as that is where Anigje and son John C Penn list for their birth on a 1921 Passport Application). The children in addition to Hiram J Penn were: Nicholas Penn b.Jun 1879, Netherlands (wife Susie and daughter Anna b.abt.1913); John C Penn b.26 Nov 1881 Wetering, Steenwyk, Netherlands (wife Mae and dau. Jane A); Gerhard Penn b.abt1885 Netherlands and died bef 1900; and Henry Penn b.19Apr1887 (wife Ettie and son John b.1916, William b.1918 and Claude b.1920) and probably was the Henry Penn who d. Mar 1970, residing in IL. All of these families lived initially in Chicago at least up to 1930 but I can find no evidence of them after that date.
Gertrude Frances Taylor was b.Jul 1876 IL (prob Champaign Co) dau of Thomas V Taylor b.Aug 1847 NY and Laura V Keller b.abt.1856 MD (prob Cumberland, Alleghany Co., MD) who were married 1 Sept 1874 Champaign Co., IL. In addition to Gertrude Frances, the Taylor’s had children Thomas Varence Taylor b.22 June1879 Moberly, Randolph Co., MO and d.9Feb 1909 in Urbana, Champaign Co IL and Laura Taylor b.Feb 1881 IA. Laura V Keller was the daughter of William V Keller b.1820.PA and Susan Cook b.1Sept1823.PA and both died in Champaign Co IL.
For Genealogy purposes, I have done extensive research into the William V Keller and Susan Cook, their Children and descendants and would be glad to share and exchange info with others. The family originated somewhere in PA, livef for about 2 decades in Cumberland, Allegheny Co MD, and migrated to Champaign Co IL about 1865. The names, dates and sources can be found at
www.gencircles.com/users/gcwec4474/1
but I will give all info to anyone that contacts me.

Peter P. Penn of Southern Dist. ,Patrick County , Virginia 1850 and Demaris L. Shelton

Marie Reedy — 15 Sep 2006 12:54:59 GMT

In the 1850 , Southern Dist., Patrick County, Virginia Census, Demaris Shelton is listed with the family of Peter P. and Elizabeth Penn. The Penns were both of Virginia and Demaris L. Shelton is from Stokes County, North Carolina, b. 1825. The Penns are 39 and 38. The Penn children were Fannie V.15, Nannie J.13, Mary E. 12, Rufus E. 10, Mariah S. 9, Edward L. 7, Susan S. 6, Elen S. 4, Peter C. 2, Helen pos. 1 mo. Others on the farm were H. McDonal 51,no occupation and Peter Cheatham a laborer.

I am the gg -grandaughter of DEMARIS L. SHELTON (indexed as Demarvias Shelton at Ancestry.com in the 1850 census). Demaris L. Shelton had graduated from the Greensboro Female Academy and was trained to teach music.
Questions:
1. Does someone know if Demaris L. Shelton was a teacher in the Penn home or a near-by school?

2. What was Elizabeth Penn's maiden name?

Demaris L. Shelton's father was Richard Shelton, born in Louisa County, Virginia in December,. 1779. He married Frances/ Fanny Barnett about 1806 in North Carolina. We believe Richard Shelton's mother was Ann Winston but do not know the first name of Richard's father or any siblings. Demaris L. Shelton's mother was Frances Barnett, the daughter of William Barnett and Frances/ Fanny Jones. The Barnetts moved to Leaksville, Rockingham Co., North Carolina from Louisa County, Virginia after 1803. I am hoping to find the connection to the Penns in order to find the parents of Richard Shelton and his siblings. Thank you.

Penn: Tabitha, Hanson, Emanuel Rezin, Bateman and others

Carl — 30 Sep 2003 5:45:42 GMT

Perhaps others know clues to sorting out the Penn families in Maryland from this treasure of a letter from 1854:

Letter to Eleanor [ne: Henniken] Curry Stapleton from Tabitha C. Penn dated August 17th, 1854. Transcribed by Fay J Coffman, Fort Worth, Texas on June 26, 1975. Eleanor was the daughter of Matthew Henniken and Elizabeth Penn married 1801 in Charles County, MD:

Dear Niece, August 17th, 1854

Your letter came daily to hand and I was very glad to hear from you all. I am very diseased in my limbs yet and do not expect to be here long. William Bateman’s wife and Manuel [Emanuel] Penn both died this summer ____ ____ ago and ____ uncle James Penn died the twelfth of August 1853 with a violent dysentery. Your cousin, Thomas Penn’s oldest son is married – his name is John Francis. I have not seen him for about thirteen years. I live about 26 miles from him. There has been a great many deaths here with dysentery. Crops is very sorry here this year owning to the drought. There will not be more than a third of crops made. It is supposed that corn will be very high. Last winter was the coldest I ever experienced and this has been the hottest summer and the driest I ever experienced. Have not had a letter from Hanson Penn since last winter. Your relations is generally well as far as I now. I want to see you and your sisters very bad. You feel near and dear to me but I never expect to see you in this world. I am striving to meet all my parting friends on the banks of deliverance where parting is no more. My love to you and your children and their wives and your sisters. And I remain your affectionate aunt until death. -- Tabitha C. Penn, 51 years old.

On the reverse side of the letter paper:

Sweet is thought, the promise sweet
That friends long severed friends shall meet
That kindred souls on earth disjoined (?)
Shall meet from earthly drops refined
There mortal cares and sorrow o’er
And mingle hearts to part no more.

Found the message board tonight; noticed Jimmie Rae has been trying to locate information on this line as well. Jimmie's been great about sharing what she's found with us - but wanted to let folks know there are other descendants out here interested in helping with research/adding our data. I am helping a friend, Bette Penn Clark, research her family - and she is a descendant of John C. through his son, James Tolliver Penn 1854 - 1942 (wife, Fanny Mathilda Reeder) and grandson, Merrill Newman Penn 1892 - 1977 (wife Ruth Harriet Corey). Am trying to work information back from John C. (born in Caswell County, N.C.) as well as forward from Penns in the Granville/Person/Caswell County area of North Carolina. More than happy to send what little information we have to anyone tracking Penns of Virginia and North Carolina during early 1800's and late 1700's.

crystal9568 — 29 Jul 2001 6:24:19 GMT

My name is Crystal Penn and I'm in search of information on my family history. I'm in search of this history to pass on to my daughter, Candyce Penn. I just started and don't have much information. My father is Charles Penn and he was born in Virgininia, DOB is 3/13/1932 and his DOD is September 1980 in Washington DC. I was only 12 when he passed away. He was born to Simon Penn and Mary (Brice) Penn. Simon and Mary had 5 other children, James, Elosie, Annie, Elizabeth and Bernice. All of their children are now deceased except Bernice. James married Mary (unknown)and had three children, James Jr., Carlton and Sandra and they all still reside in VA. None of the daughter every had any children. I know my father have a host of relatives because I can remember him speaking with them. When I was 16 I came into a small inheritance from some property in Virginia. To the best of my memory the story goes: A company wanted to build a mall on this property in VA; therefore, the company had to research the property owners. The original owners of property were slaves of John Penn. This property thing went on for years because the list was so very long. The list my father had was over 100 pages long with at least 10 names and addresses on each sheet. I haven't been able to contact the attorney that represented us in that transaction to attain that list. I tell this story in hopes someone may have a memory of this transaction. Also I run into numerous Penn in my area that could be related to me. I live in Prince Georges County, Md and would not be surprised to find out that the Penns of Charles County, Md and Virginia are related because in only thing separting them is the Potomac river which back then would not be hard to cross. The history of DC, MD and VA tells us of some crossings that occurred.

Alex Penn Tenn

amymmurphy — 26 Oct 2006 11:30:35 GMT

I did some reserch on Alex Penn born about 1835-1840 in Va. In 1870 he lived in Fayette Co. Tenn along with his wife Mary b.abt.1835 Tn; Alice 17 b.abt. 1853 Tn.; Armstead 18 b. abt.1852 Tn.; Frances 13 b. abt.1857; Maria 12 b. abt.1858 Tn; Nannie 9 b. abt. 1861 Tn.;and Rachel 3. b. abt. 1867 Tn. Alex and his family are African-Americans and they, except for Nannie and Rachel, are listed as "farmhands". They live either with or adjacent to E.M. Penn 57, Harriett 50, both born Va. and Eddie Penn 17. E.M. Penn and his family are white and E.M.'s occupation is listed as "farming".
In 1880 both Penn families are listed on the same census page. Edward Penn, white, 74 is a farmer; wife Harriett is 55, son Edward Jr. 25 is also a farmer and married to Lizzie 24 yrs old.
Alex Penn is 50 and "works on farm"; wife Mary 45; daughter Mariah18 is probably Maria; Nanie 16; Ratial is probably Rachel 12; Willie is 10 and other son, James, is 8. They live with daughter Frances 20 and her husband Alex Beard 25, both of whom work on the farm. They have a 1 yr old son, Sampson. Also living with them are step-daughter, Alice Vanpelt 26; granddaughter Minnie Vanpelt 12; grandson Rufus Vanpelt 8; granddaughter Ora 6; Margaret 1; grandson Mat Vanpelt and son John 4.
The next time I am able to locate Alex is in the 1910 census Memphis, Tenn. He is living with daughter Alice Hayes 42 (she had 4 children, 3 still living); Alice's widowed or divorced daughter Margaret Nelson 23; son Rufus Vanpelt 34; stepson James Hayes 35; father-in-law Alex also listed as widowed and a lodger Minnie Kenny 48.
Hope this helps someone.

decendants of John Penn....William Penns brother....

HollyJoy2 — 6 Feb 2003 7:55:58 GMT

Hi everyone! I'm hoping that someone here will be able to help me! I have been trying to research my Penn lines, and can't get anywhere. My mother's grandmother was Carrie Viola Penn. She died just before my mom turned two years old, around May of 1928. She had a sister named Margaret. We believe that she had a cousin named William Penn, who was a direct decendant of John Penn, William Penn's (of Pennsylvania) brother. I would be terribly grateful if anyone could help me! Carrie Viola and her sister Margaret lived in the D.C./Maryland area. They also had a brother, but we don't know his name.

Meaning/Origin of word: Andulhea

etc3495_1 — 29 Dec 2005 1:08:47 GMT

I am trying to find the meaning or origin of the word/name ANDULHEA. A tract of land called the Manor of Andulhea was given by William Penn around 1722 to the people who settled near what is now Rehrersburg, PA (Berks County). Since William Penn was English I thought perhaps the word was English in origin. Can anyone help me?
