Disputed Parents, Wife, and Children

Quoted from "Descendants of John Penn:

"There is a commonly repeated story that Joseph Penn who married Mary Taylor and his suspected brothers, John, George and Moses Penn, were the sons of John Penn, born circa 1650 and Lucy Granville, the daughter of Sir Beverly Granville and Lady Jane Wyche (daughter of Phillip Wyche). I have seen no documentation which establishes the existence of a John Penn who married Lucy Granville or anybody by the name of Lucy. It says that this John Penn lived in Rappahannock and Westmoreland Counties, VA and died about 1721 and was the father of George, Joseph, John and Moses Penn. There is a 1721 Westmoreland Co., VA reference of a lawsuit of Joseph Taylor against the estate of John Penn. Perhaps this is the John Penn who married Lucy Granville but I have seen no proof the the existence of a John Penn who married Lucy Granville."

Thank you for posting alternative information for descendants of John Penn, disputing parents, wife and children. In 1978 one of my ancestors compiled documents reflecting the same information you have. I think there may have been a couple John Penn's in this region. See photo for cited sources and wife Elizabeth.

I am a descendant of John Penn and Lucy Granville. My line goes through Col. Abram Penn (m. Ruth Stovall), Greenville Penn, Peter Philip Penn, and Ella Smiles Penn, who married Col. Willliam Lafayette Scott just after the Civil War.

My great grandfather was John Penn Scott.

I am new to Wikitree, and am still learning to navigate the site. I would love to share information with you on the Penn family.

I have a photocopy of the extensive charts done by E.P. Waller
