Shows the following on pg. 237:Pennington, Timothy - With his wife, Susanah, was an inhabitant of Barren Co., KY., 19 Nov. 1814, when their depositions were to be taken for the suit of Stephen & Mary Hayes, heirs of John Tucker, deceased, vs. Joseph & Jane Ingleman, Enoch Tucker, Henry Tucker, James & Phoebe McFarland, Sarah Cagun (Eagun), John & Hanah Deamer, James B. & Nancy Nelson and Riggs Tucker by his guardian Henry Johnson. (Rob TN. Co. Ct. Min 3/522). PP23-2, pg 76.PP14-1 pg 26-27 gives this chronicle of Timothy.c 1740-50 born - date of birth in these records is only an estimate. c 1770-74 married prob. NC. possible Susanah or Nancy Riggs.1774 & 75 is in Surry Co., NC. tax lists. (Riggs there: Reuben, Edward, David, William & Samuel) prior 1782 was in Washington Co., NC. what became TN. Ref. Wash. Co. Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions p 149: 25 Feb. 1783, docket item 4: Thomas Hardiman vs. W. Been Sr., for part of a tract on Sinking Creek including Timothy Pennington's improvement. (Sullivan Co., TN. map show a Big Sinking Creek & a Little Sinking Creek. Both are south branches off Holston, present Carter Co.) 1781, 82 &83 is in Cart. Enoch Osborn's Co. of Militia-Montgomery Co., VA. 1782 & 1785 Montgomery Co., VA. tax lists. c 1786 - 88 Probably back in TN. as Riggs (son) born there about this time gap until 1798 where he shows inRussell Co., VA. tax list 1799, 1800, 1801 & 1803 tax lists Russell Co., VA. tax lists. 2 Sept. 1803 Russell Deed Bk, 3 p 471 pays 40 lbs. for 100 acres on Moccasin Ridge. 12 Oct. 1803 Russell Deed Bk, 3 p 488 sells for 85 lbs 100 acres on Moccasin Ridge. 1805 & 1806 is in Lincoln Co., KY. 1m 21+ (self) & 1m 16-21 (Riggs) Moses, Asa, Joel & Simeon also are there. 1809 through 1816 is in every yr. of tax lists of Barren Co., KY. 1820 Monroe Co., KY. cut off & 1820 tax list there on Line Creek gives a Timothy with 75 acres, this is the only time he's in tax list there. It could have been our Timothy, but probably was Timothy, son of Joshua, Sr. 1820, 22, 23, 24, 25 & 26 Monroe tax lists give a Timothy, poll tax only, on Salt Lick whereJoshua, Sr. is. I tend to believe this one is our Timothy as he was most generally with land.If he is the one thru 1826, he probably died about this time. I don't find him in the 1820 census, so this Timothy on the tax lists may have been Joshua's. If he died in Monroe Co., he's most likely buried at Old Mulkey Church where others of our family (Richard's wife, Hannah Boone, etc.) are buried. *1803 Asa in Lincoln Co.: 1804 Simeon & Moses join him; 1805 Timothy & Joel join them. All 5 are still there in 1806. 1807-1809 lists are incomplete. 1810 is missing. Other information shows Timothy died 1820-1824 in Schuyler Co., IL. Some evidence supports this as Riggs is shown in the 1820 Schuyler Co., Census with a male and female over 45 years of age living in their household.SOURCES1.
