Will
Book A, page 213 Rowan Co., N.C.
Will of Johannah Humphreys 1774, Prob. 1775 - names son William Haggarthy. Daus.: Elizabeth & Johannah Pennington, Mary Haggarthy, & Nancy Haggarthy. Gr. son John Haggarthy. Gr. daus: Mary, Elizabeth & Jemima Pennington. Exr: Edward Turner John Prator. Wit.: Henry Dickens, Samuel Davis, & Ann ___. (page torn here) [1]
About the above Will: Is this Johanna Davis? Was she married previously before Ephraim Pennington? Did she marry after Ephraim died in 1772? There is a Samuel Davis who witnessed this will. Are some of these Haggarthey's son-in-laws or dau-in-laws? I'm still working on this lead. mgpitts
Research
The PRA has record of Joannah Davis' son Benajah Pennington 1724 – 1792, married on 1743 in Wilkes Co., NC to an Elizabeth Humphries 1720 – 1780, Elizabeth's parents are listed as Unknown Humphreys 1700 – and Johanna Davis 1693 – . If this is the Johanna Davis, then that means Benajah married his half sister or step sister. This doesn't make any sense. mgpitts
Death
1775-11 Rowan, North Carolina, USA
Johanna was born about 1710. She passed away about 1760.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships.
It is likely that these
autosomal DNA
test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Joanna:
Davis-53826 and Davis-6152 do not represent the same person because: Look on the research notes of Davis-6152, the PRA has been trying to get the truth about this couple and their children for years. Lots of things wrong here. No your fault and not mine.
I think this is a duplicate of Davis-6152, but without any sources it's difficult to tell. This profile should be filled in more thoroughly and/or merged with Davis-6152.
