My Pennington Line


My Pennington line comes through Elizabeth Pennington, daughter of Levi Pennington and Elizabeth Henson.  She married Alexander Monroe Dollar on 17 Jan 1857 and they had four children:
  • Amanda Jane Dollar b. 6 Apr 1858 Creston, Ashe Co., NC d. 01 Nov 1938 Ashe Co., NC
  • John Dula Dollar b. 3 Oct 1863 Creston, Ashe Co., NC d. 6 Dec 1933 Atlanta, Fulton Co., GA
  • Emeline Caroline Dollar b. 15 Mar 1866 Ashe Co., NC d. 10 Dec 1954 Burdine, Letcher Co., KY
  • Roby Smith Dollar b. 18 Apr 1868 Creston, Ashe Co., NC d. 21 Apr 1944 Mountain City, Johnson Co., TN

Amanda Jane Dollar married William Davis Lyall on 3 Aug 1881 in Ashe Co., NC and had 10 children.  I know that my grandmother corresponded by letter with at least one of her Lyall cousins – Ennis.  I’ve read references to her in my grandmother’s diary’s.  Amanda never left Ashe Co., NC for Laurel Bloomery, Johnson Co., TN – she was recorded with her uncle (Larkin Pennington) in the 1880 census and is married by 1881. She is buried with her husband at the William M. Lyall Family Cemetery, Ashe Co., NC.

Amanda Dollar and William Davis Lyall
John Dula Dollar is my great great grandfather.  My great grandmother probably didn’t know her father terribly well.  When she was a baby, her mother died a few months after her birth, and her father left his three oldest children with his father and step mother while he worked.  A few years later, he married Cleopatra Gentry and took the two oldest children to live with him, leaving my great grandmother to live with her grandparents.    John had three children with his first wife, Buena Vista Bailey and seven children with his second wife.  I know that during his lifetime, he worked in a lumber mill with his father and brother, probably worked as a miner in Colorado (he is recorded there in 1920 with his family) and was also known as a shoemaker, carpenter, and store operator.  I suppose he did just about anything to support his large family.
Emeline Caroline married a man, Caleb Wills Noland who lived nearby on 27 Oct 1881 in Johnson Co., TN when she was 15 years old.  She and her husband had nine known children and to this day, I know very little about some of her children.  She was the longest lived of the Dollar siblings living to almost 89 years old.  During her lifetime, she can be found in Tennessee, McDowell Co., WV, Wise Co., VA and she dies in Letcher Co., KY.  It is no wonder that her family has been hard to piece together.

The youngest of the Dollar siblings is Roby Smith Dollar.  Roby also married a local neighbor woman named Sarah Margaret Simmons.  The Dollars and Simmons family can be found close together in the census records.  Only Roby stayed in the Johnson Co., TN area for the remainder of his life.  Roby primarily worked as a lumberman and carpenter.  There are parts of the Wesley Methodist Church in Shingletown that he built and are still in evidence today.  He and his wife Sarah aka Maggie had 10 daughters.  All lived to be old women.  He used say that he would never be poor because he had his “10 Dollars!”  On 19 Feb 1912, Maggie died of pneumonia leaving Roby with his 10 daughters and the youngest was only 6 months old.  Life took most of Roby’s daughters away through marriage, work and different opportunities.   His daughter Eva lived with him for a time because she herself was disabled and had a difficult time with sight.  She is buried next to him at the Mountain View Cemetery in Mountain City, TN.  One of his daughters came back home with her husband and stayed to take care of her father and she lived to be almost 100 years old.

I have often wondered if Elizabeth Pennington was sickly during her life.  It is odd in that era to have only four children and spaced so far apart in age.   I know that she moved with her husband over to Laurel Bloomery but probably died within a few years after the move.  She was probably around my age of 45 when she died.  The path my Dollars took over to Laurel Bloomery was because of the Pennington family.  Elizabeth Pennington’s uncle, Andrew Pennington, lived over in Laurel Bloomery…specifically in Shingletown.  At the time, Alexander Monroe Dollar, found a better way to support his family by working as a lumberman – so they moved over the mountain to Tennessee.   The Dollars and Penningtons came from Ashe Co., NC – but my particular branch through my great grandmother came out of little house in a holler in LaurelBloomery.

Gallup Represents More Than Just A Poll


Today when you opened the paper, you probably saw some reference to some poll that told you how the one candidate was faring against another.  In this day and age there are polls from Rasmussen, Zogbe, Fox, NBC, CNN and various other news outlets…but when most of us think about a poll about one topic or another, we usually think of Gallup poll. 

George Horace Gallup was the founder of the Gallup poll and was the first man to scientifically measure   public views and opinions.  Today they call that market research.  George Horace Gallup was born in Jefferson, Greene Co., IA to George Henry Gallup and Nettie Quella Davenport on 18 Nov 1901 and died in 1984 in Switzerland.  He was married to Ophelia Smith Miller and had three children.  There is no doubt that George Horace Gallup has made more impact on our country and its business environment than most men ever do.  I’ve spent a great deal of time researching the Gallup family over the years and can tell you that there is a whole lot more to the family as a whole than just a poll.

George Horace Gallup’s ancestors were among the earliest settlers in this country.  John Gallop arrived in 1630 and when his family arrived some time later, the Gallup family has made an impact.  These early Gallups were mariners who helped map and explore the northeastern seaboard.  They helped trade with the early Native Americans and provided scout and interpretive skills for those who wished to do business.  They fought in the early wars and died for their new land proudly.  Many also participated in the Revolutionary war and the founding of this country including George Horace’s 3rd great grandfather, Isaac Gallup who served in the Battle of Long Island and was Captain of the Groton Company. 
During my research, I’ve discovered many Gallups who participated in the some of the earliest battles in our country clear up to the Revolutionary War.  I made a list of some of these Gallups.

As you can see, the Gallup name represents much more than just a poll.  It represents generations of men and women who fought and died for their countries through every war this nation has fought in.  Many no longer have the name of Gallup but have the family in their ancestry. The above list represents only a small portion of those who have served their country. While it is nice to have U. S. Presidents who share the same ancestry (Pres. George H.W. Bush and Pres. George W. Bush) or poets like Emily Dickinson or the famous founder of the Gallup poll - I think that the tradition of service is something to be very proud of.

The Summer of Beans


I love a good garden…as long as someone else is taking care of it.  I love the fresh vegetables and have on occasion made more than one meal out of plate full of home grown tomatoes, fried zucchini or string beans that have sat on the stove all day with a generous amount of bacon.  That was a part of my childhood.  It was something that I had in common with my grandmother – the love of the fresh vegetables – but she enjoyed the gardening activity herself.  From about 1957 until 1978 – she was a frustrated gardener.  She lived in Elk City, ID and it wasn’t conducive to gardening.  The elevation was too high, the season too short and the soil was poor.  She tried to have a little garden patch and was successful at growing strawberries for a while until her grandchildren would strip the plants of their fruit.  I’m sure the deer were quite a problem as well.  All that was going to change during the summer of 1979 – she was finally going to have her big garden again!

My grandparents sold the lumber mill at Elk City in 1978 and moved back to the Lewis Clark Valley where they both were raised.  They took some time, but finally bought a house in the Clemans addition in Clarkston, WA.  It fulfilled one of my grandmother’s chief requirements – a large garden area.  I still remember going over to see her and she would be working in her garden with her straw hat on and bent over with her legs straight weeding her garden.  Until the day she died, my grandmother could bend over without bending her knees and place her palms flat on the ground.  Little did I know the impact that that garden would have on my summer?

My grandparents enjoying the first summer of retirement – decided to make good on their plans to travel.  They packed up their 5th wheel and planned a month long trip to Alaska.  They left their rows and rows of vegetables to our care.  My grandmother went overboard with one of her favorite vegetables – string beans.  To this day, I don’t understand why two old people need four rows of beans.  Dad and I ended up making a trip over to their house two to three times a week to pick vegetables…mostly beans.  Each time Dad and I would labor over those beans – picking them and putting them in a paper bag.  We would each end up coming home with at least two full grocery bags of beans.  Then my job would be to snap beans.  For those who are uninitiated in the procedure – you take a bean, snap off both ends and then snap them in about 2 inch pieces.  Two large paper bags full of beans - takes a lot of time to prepare.

At the beginning, we would clean the beans, put them in a large pot with a lot of bacon and salt and let them cook.  Usually Mom would put the pot on first thing in the morning and we would all have a bowl of beans at lunch.  By dinner time, they were well stewed and delicious.  I loved it when the bacon pretty much fell apart and the beans were tender and delicious.  However, you can only eat so many string beans.  Soon, Mom had to can several quarts a week.  I think by the time that my grandparents came back from their sojourn in Alaska; Mom had canned 100 quarts of beans.   I know that she also canned large amounts of pickled beets, pickles including bread and butter pickles and dill pickles, zucchini relish, stewed tomatoes, and tomato juice.   As usual, we enjoyed the fruits of the garden that summer. 

As much as I loved the summer vegetables – I didn’t especially enjoy giving up so much of my time to picking and snapping beans.  This was the first summer that I learned the lesson that summer wasn’t just for fun.  However, I think that that garden was my grandmother’s idea of fun.  She loved spending all those hours in the sun, taking care of that garden.  I can still picture her in that straw hat and her face red from working happily rooting around in the dirt and know that for the those few short years before her death, she was doing something gave her joy...but did she have to plant so many string beans?

Greenberry's Complications...


There are always names that spark the interest of the researcher.  Sometimes because they are just so unusual and other times because they seem kind of silly; I personally think the name “Greenberry” is kind of a silly name.  Perhaps it is because I’m not from the south so I don’t really get its significance.   However, I must say that Greenberry Pennington was one of the more complicated Pennington’s I’ve researched.
Greenberry Pennington was born 2 May 1826 in Lee Co., VA and died after 1900 in Perry Co. KY or Lee Co., VA.  As far as I know, his death date, location, or burial location is unknown.   

Greenberry was the oldest son of Charles Pennington and Diana Parsons and was the grandson of Micajah Pennington, Jr.   Greenberry first married Letitia Robbins sometime around 1846 probably in Harlan Co., KY.  I have eleven children listed for this marriage.  I have a few that I have doubts about that I probably will research again and see if anything new has popped up.  Anyway, Letitia and Greenberry divorce or separate in abt 1859.  They still have one more child together after they had split (this is one of them that I need to look more closely at.) 

Greenberry next marries Susannah Holmes on 6 May 1871 in Harlan Co., KY and she is the widow of Jonathan Witt.  By my count, there are three children that precede that marriage.  She was widowed sometime after 1863 and before the birth of her first child with Greenberry in 1866.  Susannah probably dies sometime before 1893.  (I am not sure that she has died…Greenberry didn’t seem to worry about that fact when remarrying)

Greenberry marries for the final time a widow and his first cousin, Cynthia Parsons.  Cynthia herself is on her fourth marriage.  She had previously married Joseph Thomas on 5 Jan 1859, Jehue Bailey on 6 Feb 1866, Isaac Ball on 5 Oct 1883 and then Greenberry on 27 May 1893.  She has 5 children through these three marriages.  Greenberry has 18 children from his first two wives.  Now, I can’t tell you if Greenberry divorced or just left his wives or that his second wife died before he married again.  Normally, you can pretty well make that conclusion – but I find it hard to make that leap with Greenberry Pennington’s history.  His is a complicated line to decipher.   Below is a list of his marriages and children for your reference.
