Message from NCNR List (thought this
was interesting - correspondence between Barb Temple and Ruth Lewis)
Well, here I go trying out the new
address. Does anyone know anything
about the property that was returned to some Tories who had their
property seized? Does anyone have any info on Micajah Pennington and
John Barton in particular.
Was the John Barton who had his propert seized, the son in law of Micajah
Pennington? I find a John Barton on the NRN along with others including
Micajah Pennington as having property taken to be sold, but the John
Barton who was Micajah's son in law fought in the RW. Also, i see Enoch
Osborne and Flower Swift as either Tories or Quakers. Later they are
serving either in the RW or as civil servants following the RW. Can
anyone clarify this for me? Thanks.
Barb, The sale of land could be due to the fact that North Carolina was
a
proprietary colony, with the Earl of Granville holding title to much of the
land. Residents of the Old North State before the Revolution paid a quit
rent to the Earl for some years, then perhaps, could acquire title to the
land they lived on. In 1777 the North Carolina legislature passed a
confiscation act which took the Earl of Granville's holdings and
transferred title to the State. The State in turn issued land grants to
its citizens for a nominal fee. People were given every opportunity to
purchase the land they had lived on before, as is evidenced by the 'ample
notice' given of the public sale. In any event, the confiscation had
nothing to do with the loyalty of the land holders. Hope this helps.

This is some correspondence with
David Cope about the Pennington and Jones names.
Hi Carmen, I am just doing a follow
up on what I have found on the
Penningtons' and who they are found by in my family.
1768 Rowan CO. NC taxlist of Morgan Bryan-
Ephriam Pennington
William Cope and sons James Cope, William Cope and John Cope

of this area became Wilkes CO. NC 1778- Benjamin Cleveland- found in Wilkes CO.
NC. - William Cope;
John Cope; James Cope; Mathew Sparks;
David Bailey
I have this hunch that the Penningtons may be found on the tax lists in Surry
CO. NC 1770s before it became Wilkes.
1787 Wilkes CO. NC
Micajah Pennington
James Pennington
William Pennington
1782 Montgomery CO. VA- enumerated-
William Sheperd
Micajah Pennington
Stephen Serech
A William Cope is listed on this census and I have him as living in Surry CO.
NC 1774.
1790 Wilkes CO. NC- census- enumerated- 10th CO. dist-
Jesse Bolin and 4 names down is-
Stephen SERITCH- could this be the same one in Montgomery CO. VA
William Spencer;
William Boyd;
Enas Suthernton;
Mark Weaver;
Micajah Peniton;
Ben Penniton;
Elijah Peniton
5 names down is William SHEPARD- could this be the same one in 1782
Montgomery CO. VA by Micajah Pennington.
It appears that the Penningtons lived in Montgomery CO. VA for a brief time
and then moved back to NC.
I also have a marriage of a Micajah Pennington to Linthey Jones- 25 July 1822
Clay CO. KY. I believe that this Jones is related to Vinson Jones( marr. a
Cope ) who lived in 1787 Wilks CO. NC. Also part of my Cope family lived
in
Clay CO. KY 1810 and 1820. William Cope 1782 Montgomery CO. VA is in part of
my Cope family as well.
All this may not mean any thing but I thought I would see what you thought
about what I have found on the Penningtons and my Cope family.
Sincerely, David C. Cope
