As shown in the chart, (obtained from the Delaware Archives) Isaac
the Quaker was the son of Sir Isaac Pennington, who was an Alderman
(1638-1657), High Sheriff (1638), and Lord Mayor of London
in 1642 and 1643.
He was knighted in 1649.
Sir
Isaac served in both the Short and
Long Parliaments, and was of that
unfortunate assemblage that decided to
lop off Charles I's head, although
to Sir Isaac's credit, he did not vote in favor of the
lopping. The
elder Isaac fell on hard times financially in the 1650's, and much
harder
times ensued when Charles II was reinstated to the monarchy, and set about
settling
the score with the Parliamentary regicides who had killed his
father.
Although Sir Isaac had not signed the death warrant,
and pleaded "not guilty,"
he was nonetheless imprisoned in the Tower of
London, where he died in 1660.
The Regicides "in their own write." Note O. Cromwell at left.
As shown in the Pedigree above,
three brothers , Richard Thomas and William Pennington, comprise this generation.
All died before 1600. The Compiler of the chart, Joseph Foster, of St.
Johns Wood, London seems to be stating that these three are descendants
of the Penningtons buried at Henham (County Essex, before 1557.
It is very difficult to distinguish this writer's b's for Born and d's
for Died, but the following is my interpretation:
1. Richard died before 1592, leaving sons Robert, Thomas and Richard, and a daughter, Agnes.
2. Thomas, who married Margaret (____), was of Tottenham High Cross, Middlesex, and London, was buried in 1594. He and Margaret had a son Thomas who married Joane (___). Thomas died 1665/6. He and Joane had sons Thomas and Richard, and six daughters who were all living in 1695. (This seems to be stretching it a bit -- but, Oh Well...)
3.
WILLIAM, of London,
who married Alice (____), was buried 11-11-1592.
William and Alice had:
[CMM NOTE:
There are four unnamed daughters
on the chart, but five children unnamed in the order.
Perhaps the
daughters lived to maturity and there was a fifth child, sex unknown,
who
did not.]
(A.) Jacob who married Agnes (____)

Judith
Shetterden, died 4-18-1628. Robert was a successful merchant in London.
