William was born about 1787 in North Carolina.[1]
William M. PENNINGTON m. sp (2) after 1820 SC. 1830 Marion Co., AL appears to be x-wife Elizabeth, her father, Wm. Sarratt, 1st born Samuel b. ca 1800, 2nd born Aaron Hampton & possible wife, Hannah, 3rd born Martin and 4th born Henry. William M. has not been found in the 1830 SC census. He has by his 2nd wife, son Andrew Jackson with birth year of 1830 SC and his next born, John, with a birth year of 1833 AL.By census dates, this puts 1st wife, Elizabeth in 1830 Marion Co., AL while William M. is still in Spartanburg Co., SC in 1830.
If Andrew Jackson with CW papers is the son of William, these show him to be born Jan 1827 in Fayette Co., AL rather than 1830 SC. Putting William in AL by 1827 with the rest of the Penningtons and his x-wife.
