Biography

In the wikitree biography it is noted that she may have been married to a man named Pennington and she is listed that way in her mother's will.

The first name of her Allen husband is not given.

Sources

  • Named with her married name ALLEN in her father's will dated 13 Apr 1793. She is listed in her mother's will as Elizabeth Pennington which would seem to indicate that first husband Allen died and she married Pennington. More research needed for clarification.
