JOHN PENNOCK

THE STORY AS I KNOW IT

The Pennock family was a leading Quaker family in colonial Pennsylvania. The descendants are numerous. Three known books have been written about them:
The Pennocks of Primitive Hall by George Valentine Massey II,
The Pusey Family by Pennock Pusey, and
Christopher Pennock Genealogy, compiled by Charles A. Rudolph, 1959.

John Pennock was born in 1800 in Chester County Pennsylvania. He was the son of James Pennock and Mary Hayes.

John married Elizabeth Stevens about 1822. They had 3
1.. William Pennock born in 1823 married Margaret Jane McMasters.
2. Samuel Pennock born 1825 married Ann Stannert.
3. Hayes Pennock born 1830 married Jeannette Ganne Wilson.

They probably lived in Chester County but very little of their life is known. We do not know when either John or Elizabeth died. The Quakers kept great records, but they tended to not give middle names. There are a lot of John Pennocks. There is record held at the Friends Historical Society Henshaw files held at Swarthmore College that John Pennock was disowned from the London Grove Meeting for joining the Hicksites on 1828-10-11 as was Elizabeth on 1828-8-9. We do not know if this is our John and Elizabeth even though it is the right time and very likely the right place.
