Facts and Events
[edit] Information on John PennThere is a reference in the Caroline Co., VA Court Order Book for of 9 May 1741 of the Last Will and Testament of John Penn, deceased, being presented in Court by Elizabeth Penn and Moses Penn, co-executors and of being proved by John Taylor, Gent., and Edmond Taylor, witness thereto. They endered into bond with George Penn their security. It is this John Penn who I suspect to be the father of Joseph Penn. It is estimated that this John Penn was born about 1680. This estimate is based upon the fact that Joseph Penn is estimated to have been born about 1712 and a John Penn is listed in the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls for King & Queen Co., VA as being taxed for owning 200 acres of land. This estimated date of birth leaves room for Joseph's older brothers (and sisters) to have been born without leaving too much room. It is believed that the that John Penn's executors named in the 1741 Caroline County Court Order Book reference were Elizabeth, his widow, and Moses Penn, a son.
