Biography

Daniel Pennington, the son of Richard Pennington and Hannah Boone, was born in 1781.

He married Esther (Frailey) Pennington on August 20, 1805 in Barren Co, KY.^[1]

Daniel, the second of Richard and Hannah, was born 3 Dec., 1781 in North Carolina or Virgina and died at the age of 83 in present day Clay Co., TN. He was married on 20 Aug., 1805 in Barren Co., KY. to Esther Frailey the daughter of Christian and Elizabeth Frailey. He is listed the 1810 census of Barren Co. with 1 male under 10, 1 male 16-26, 2 females under 10 and 1 female 16-26. He, himself stated that he enlisted for six months and served in the War of 1812. Daniel has a bounty land award in the Archives in Washington, D.C. but it gives no family information. In a letter written to Dr. Draper on 17 April, 1853, from Monroe Co., KY., he relates, "I was in company with Col. Daniel Boone in 1798 in the month of February in Lexington, KY., and had much conversation with him about matters of minor importance. If I could see you and converse with you perhaps you might gather something from it, but I could not write the little social conversations I had with him. It would be too simple. I would be wasting time and paper to no profit." At the time of the writing Daniel was sick and a friend, Phillip Emmert, was doing the writing for him. Sometime after 1854 he must have moved to Clay Co. TN. as he was living there in 1860. His wife died in 1834 so he may have gone to TN. to live with one of his children. In her book "Hannah Boone and Her Descendants", Miss Hawthorn lists Daniel's children together with dates of birth, deaths, marriages and names of spouses.^[2]

History is also listed in the PP Vol. 30 No. 1, 1998, pg. 23.
