I know that William R. Penry was a son of William and Mary ? Penry and was a brother of
Jane Penry my ancestor. I believe William was the son of Walter, but that is what I'm
trying to prove. I'm not sure if Mary Eleanor Jones is correct. There is another
William Penry in this mix and he had a wife Mary who died and a wife Eleanor who died, but
my William only had one wife Mary and he died in 1825. She lived to a very old age and
Walter Penry Sr., & Walter Penry Jr. lived with her for awhile after the death of her
husband William.
Radnor is about 12 miles northwest of Delaware, OH and is in Delaware County.
Thank you for your help.

Re William married to Mary.
Family search also shows a William Penry married to a Mary Eleanor Jones.
This shows a son William R. Penry in 1816 born Delaware, Ohio. The
marriage says about 1815 in Delaware.
However from my research over the years I have found that if it says "about"
it means they have not picked up the marriage but are going on the birth of
the first child - i e. as above 1816.
Wm. Senior died in 1825. Does that fit in. No idea where Delaware is in
relation on Radnor.Oh.
