Around 1859 (this is probably the time frame that John died) John's sons Levi, John R., and others left Simpson Co., KY and moved to Moniteau County, MO with the family dog. According to their family tradition, the dog disappeared after a few days, and months later they received a letter from the family back in KY that the dog showed up there! Levi and John are listed in Moniteau County, MO on the 1860 census. Levi had a son born in 1865 named Littleberry. Levi and John both spent the rest of their lives in MO. John is buried in a cemetery where Joseph E Pennington is buried. This Joseph was the son of Littleberry (b. 1814).

The Jefferson Brown Pennington family, son of Isaac ca. 1748, gson of Levi Sr also settled in Moniteau Co., MO in 1860 township of Jamestown. They later were in California township. I'm not sure if they ever realized or knew that they were related to each other. mgp
