Sharon: Thank you so much. You did answer a couple questions I had. The Mary you found
in Snoddy Cem. who died in 1837 could be Christian's first wife. The 1840 census
shows him with no older female. He then married Mary Davis around 1845. The 1850 census
lists Christian, Mary and Mary's two children from a previous marriage. They have the
surname of Davis. One child is John, who is blind.
I also think the marriage of John Penner to Mary Ann Elwell 1-7-1839 was his 2nd marriage.
There was a John Penner who married Patsy ? in Warren Co., KY. Since the first 3
children of John's were born in KY, I believe them to be the children of Patsy and
John, then he moved to Fountain Co., IN prior to 1840 and married Mary Ann Elwell. Of
course, this needs to be confirmed. Julia Ann Penner who married Robert Green was a
daughter of Christian, sister to John.
