For information on Rachel Pennington's family: http://gheirlooms.topcities .com/penningt.htm
"Rachel Pennington was born approximately 1658 in Lancaster, England. H er lineage has been disputed over the years. Henry Hart Beeson presented R achel as the half-sister to Marie Springett, the wife of William Penn. How ever, later research has shown him to be close but not quite correct.
Sir William Springett married a woman named Mary (her last name is unknown ). They had a daughter named Marie who married William Penn (and became Ma rie Springett Penn). Sir Springett died and his widow, Mary Springett marr ied Isaac Pennington, Jr. the son of Sir Isaac Pennington. They had a daug hter and named her Mary Pennington. Mary Pennington married Daniel Wharl ey and became Mary Pennington Wharley. So - Mary Pennington Wharley was t he half-sister to Marie Springett Penn. (got that?)
After Mary Springett Pennington passed away, Isaac Pennington, Jr. remarri ed; this time to a woman named Rachel whose birth name is also unknown. Is aac Pennington and Rachel had a daughter and named her Rachel. Rachel Penn ington married Edward Beeson. Rachel Pennington Beeson was therefore, n ot the half-sister to the woman who married William Penn, but, instead t he half-sister of the half-sister who married William Penn.
One of the most confirming records of a familial relationship between Mar ie Springett Penn, Mary Pennington Wharley and Rachel Pennington Beeson (p ossibly) is the change of hands a certain piece of property experienced. W illiam Penn granted 1250 acres of land in PA to Mary Pennington Wharley be cause he was his wife's half-sister. The same land was passed from Ma ry to her half-sister Rachel. When Rachel passed away it went to Edward Be eson I, Rachel's husband."
The first part is being told here, not because it is true, necessarily, ju st that it is one of the tales being told about Rachel and might provide s ome clues. The exchange of land *did* take place, but, of course, can *no t* be considered hard evidence of *any* close family relationship betwe en Rachel and Mary Pennington Wharley."

To all researchers of the Rachel Pennington line (wife of Edward Beeson)
Important news:
Jim Dawson of the Lauderdale Department of Archives and History in
Meridian, MS sends what he interprets as the most complete informati
Rachel Pennington's line. As many of you know, Henry Hart Beeson's book
portrayed Rachel as the daughter of Isaac Pennington and half-sister to
Maria Springett who married William Penn.
Here is what Jim says:
Sir William Springett m. Mary. They gave birth to Marie, who married
William Penn.
Mary, wife of Sir William Springett m. 2nd Isaac Pennington, Jr. They
had Mary (so she was half-sister to Marie). Mary married Daniel Wharley.
Isaac Pennington m. 2nd Rachel (?). They had a daughter Rachel, who
married Edward Beeson.
This Rachel, daughter of Isaac Pennington was half-sister t Mary
Pennington Wharley.
According to this, then, Rachel Pennington Beeson was not a half-sister
to the wife of William Penn.
William Penn granted 1250 acres of land in PA to Mary Pennington Wharle
his wife's half sister. This same land was passed from Mary to her
half-sister, Rachel (then to Edward Beeson I in 1704).
So - Edward Beeson m. the half-sister of the half-sister of the woman w
married William Penn.
He goes on to say that the information comes from more than one source:
Edward S. Everett, copied from Western Research Historical Society in
Cleveland, OH and Detroit Society Genealogical Research magazine, Dec.
1957 by Ruth Fielding Welch, Ohltown, OH.
Jim Dawson will soon be publishing a new book about the Beeson family in
which this information will be presented. Anyone interested can e-mail
Jim at [email protected]
He says that no queries can be answered via e-mail regarding family
lines, but that he will refer you to staff who can do lookups for $
However, anyone interested in sharing their lines (Beeson's) is
encouraged to correspond.

NOTES FOR FUTURE RESEARCH:
Hello! There sure seem to be a lot of us descended
from this line. I am descended from Capt Edward and
Rachel (Pennington) Beeson > son Richard and Charity
(Grubb) Beeson > son Richard and Anne (Brown) Beeson >
son Henry and Mary (Martin) Beeson > son John and
first wife Sarah (Schooley) Beeson > son Henry and
Mary (Russell) Beeson > daughter Harriet "Hattie" who
married Dr. Jay W. Burns
Anyone else out there descend from this branch? I
would love to correspond. This is a very interesting
line. Rachel Pennington's mother Mary Proude
Pennington wrote an autobiography - still in print!
Mine just came in the mail today and I am chomping at
the bit to begin reading it.

REPLY TO ABOVE POST:
We are cousins!! Our first common ancestors are Richard Beeson and
Charity Grubb. From Richard and Charity Beeson, I descend through Benjami n
Beeson & Elizabeth Hunter; Capt. Edward Beeson and Ann Pennington; Richard
D. Beason and Frances M. Key; Jeremiah Richard Beason and Sara Ann Davis;
Noah T. Beason and Jane Williams; John Henry Clay Beason and Martella
Lumpkin; Gertrude Beason and Charles Paul Bennett to me--Donald Paul Benne tt.
The Edward Beeson married to Rachel Pennington is the immigrant, not the
Revolutionary War Captain. The Revolutionary War veteran is Richard and
Charity Beeson's son, Edward Beeson-- married to Ann Pennington. However,
another of Richard & Charity Beeson's sons--Richard--married to Anne
Brown--(your lineage) was also a Revolutionary War veteran, so you are
qualified for the DAR membership. Do you have a copy or access to the
"Beeson Book" by Henry Hart Beeson--it has a large amount of Beeson/Beason
genealogy details generally not available from the internet. If I counted
right, we are 6th cousins--nice to hear from you, Cuz.

Hi Marsha -
>>I'm not aware of any puritans in MD (maybe someone on the List is and ca n
help here?) Believe they were more in the NH area.
I can tell you about one historical curiosity involving the Quakers and
Puritans that I came across in my own family.
Daniel BROWNE b. 1660 in Milford, New Haven, Connecticut, was very likely
related to my England>Massachusetts Puritan ancestor, John Browne, whose
family possessed a significant portion of Rhode Island in the early 1600s.
It was in RI where Daniel Browne met and married Susan VER PLANCK, the
daughter of my ancestors Abraham Ver Plank and Marie DE VIGNE, b. 1611 in
Valenciennes, France, a Huguenot who came with her family to New Amsterdam
in April 1624. You can find a discussion of this family on the Pemberton
Family forum at
http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?forum=pemberton&url=% 2Fpe mb
erton%2F&path=%2Fpemberton%2F&terms=Browne&boolean=AND
Daniel Browne and Susan Ver Planck were the parents of Daniel Browne Jr.
(abt 1688-Jun 1725), who m. Elizabeth PEMBERTON (1688- ), d/o Thoma s
Pemberton and Elizabeth CLARK.
Daniel and Elizabeth's daughter, Elizabeth Browne (b. abt 1703. Kent DE; d .
abt 1751, Kent DE) m. William MANLOVE (b. 1700, Kent DE; d. 23 Apr 1723
Dover DE), the son of the infamous Quaker Mark Manlove, who managed to get
himself in trouble from the moment he landed in Plymouth MA, until he
finally found peace in DE. Though he was a Quaker, I think Mark Manlove
even riled the authorities in PA, if I recall correctly, and there are New
England records indicating that he was at the mercy of various of my Purit an
ancestors in MA and CT, barely escaping with his life. Manlove may have
married a couple of times during his travels from New England south, but
eventually, he found relative peace in DE, where he settled down.
Mark Manlove m. Margaret Mary HART, and they were the parents of Margaret
Manlove (1728- ), who m.3 Dec 1751 in Camden, Kent DE, Perez (Paris)
CHIPMAN, a descendant of the Mayflower Chipman family of Sandwich MA, who
was b. 1729. Margaret and Perez settled in Guilford following their
marriage, and from that point forward, you can find many of their
descendants in and around Guilford.
