1850 Census. Benjamin age 39 b. in SC was living in Fayette County, Alabama along with his wife, Sarah Penington age 38 b. in TN along with nine of their children: Levi age 17 b. AL; Martha J., age 16 b. in AL; Linda E. age 15 b. AL; Joseph age 13 b. AL; Elijah age 10 b. AL; Benjamin age 8 b. MS; Avelin age 5 b. in MS; Jasper age 2 b. in AL; and Newton, age 2 b. in AL. [1]
Note: I'm not sure if Jasper and Newton were twins or were born so close they were the same age for awhile. Also, why were Benjamin and Avelin born in MS and none of the other children were. Did they move there briefly and then come back or do they belong to one of the other Pennington..
Note: Amos and his wife lived close by.
