Mary Isom was born to Charles & Cassandra Swartzlander Pennington on May 17, 1785 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.


Her father, Charles served in the Revolutionary War at various intervals from 1777 to Sep 1780 under Captain Daniel Pennington and Capt. Jamison. His main function in the war was as a "wagoner", carrying foodstuffs and supplies for the army.

He was a Baptist preacher and moved many times in his life - PA to NC to VA to TN to IN to IL. Most researchers believe Charles and Cassandra had several children, although only John and Effie are proven. Using his pension papers as the source, we find Charles moving to Rowan County, North Carolina, and on to Grayson County, Virginia where he lived for seventeen years. From there he moved to Clinch Mountain, Virginia, where he lived about five years. Charles next moved to White County, Tennessee where his son, John and wife, Nancy Harris, lived and raised a large family. In later moves, Charles and Cassandra went to Lawrence County, Indiana, and finally to Coles County, Illinois, where Casandra d. 25 Oct. 1834. Their daughter, Effie P Connelly, had also moved to Coles County where she left many descendants. Charles married his second wife, Rachel Sturdivant, when he was one month shy of 80 years old. He died 5 Sept. 1845, age 87. The parentage of Rev. Charles Pennington remains unknown. (from Ancestry.com, Regnald Day)
