In connection with the Hewitt-Matheny-Cooper Family Association, I recently helped publish Into the Eye of the Setting Sun, by my gggrandmother Charlotte Matheny Kirkwood. This is a first-hand account of the Oregon Trail and her recollections of the years prior to Oregon statehood. A fascinating memoir!

20 years ago a family member made a book about the Generations, and I now have it. Wanting to make sure this information is correct if possible.
Thanks Sandy

I believe your birth date for John is incorrect, he was not born in 1812 but 1820. I think we need to confirm that information before we merge. Thank you, Janice Haney-Cook
On WikiTree, there is no "yours" or "mine." There is only one tree, and no one has a profile reserved for use.
So far at least, "your" John B Pennington shows no evidence, but "mine" shows in all the registrations, 1850 census, and 1900 census as being born in 1812. But also married to the same person shows that it is the same.
I believe he changed the year due to older people were more revered and he was playing off of that. The older you were the more respected you were. John's first wife died in 1851 so he doesn't show up with same wife, he was married 3 times.
Thank you for your note. I had a look back a few months, but can find no reference of the work I did. If you can let me have the Wikitree Url for your sister in law's profile it might jog the memory.
Regards Janet
I rarely use Wikitree, so figuring out how to delete the relationship took a lot of trial and error. Despite information from a trusted genealogist, I find no documentation of my John Petrie being married to an Agnes Glasford.
