Hi!
I'm new to these lists. I'm researching a couple of lines for my supplemental SAR
applications, claiming descent from James Caudill, Jr. (b. 1753 Lunenburg, VA) and
Archaelous Craft, through their children, Nancy Craft and Wm. C. Caudill (married to each
other). I'm tying to prove descent from James Washington Pennington (b. 1799 Lee Co.,
VA; d. OCT 1854 Lawrence Co., KY) and his wife Ellender Caudill, through their son,
William "Squire Billy" Pennington (b. abt. 1820 Harlon KY).
Does anyone have a copy of James Pennington's last will and testament (showing his son
to be William) and/or a death certificate for Ellender Caudill Pennington (showing her
parents to be William C. and Nancy Craft Caudill)? In each case the relevant county of
death should be Lawrence, KY.
Any help or other primary documents would be greatly appreciated. This request is very
important, and not just for my own benefit. If I can successfully document this
information and get these supplemental applications approved, it will open the door for,
no doubt, hundreds of other descendants of this Caudill/Pennington line to become members
of DAR and SAR.
Thank you in advance.
