RICHARD PENNINGTON, SR.
Richard Pennington, Sr., died at home near Daly, Houston Co., TX, Nov. 11, 1891.
Deceased was born in the state of Kentucky near Glascow, April 11, 1809, hence was, at death, 82 years and seven months old.
From Kentucky he went to Tennessee where he formed the acquaintance of and wedded Miss Polly Walling who was his faithful life companion, and survived him and is now far advanced in her seventy-eighth year.
From Tennessee they went to Missouri, remaining but a short time and came to Texas in 1839, living eight years south of Crockett on what is now known as the Beeson place.
Purchased and settled the homestead where he died, in 1847, and with his own hands improved his home where he reared and comfortably supported seven children, three sons and four daughters, all of whom survive him.
Doubtless it will be of interest to many to know that he was related to the noted Kentucky pioneer Daniel Boone. His grandmother was the celebrated Boone's sister.
