ELIZABETH STEVENS
THE STORY AS I KNOW IT
Elizabeth Stevens was born about
1805. I know nothing about her parents, or where and when she was
born. There was an entry on Ancestry World tree that had much
data correct about the Pennock family. It said Elizabeth Stevens
was born in Scotland.
She married John Pennock about 1822. They had three children:
1. William Pennock born Dec 8,
1823 who married Margaret Jane McMasters
2. Samuel Pennock born 1825 married Ann Stannert.
3. Hayes Pennock born 1830 married Jeannette Ganne Wilson.
This scanty bit of information is from a very large volume called Christopher Pennock Genealogy compiled by Charles A. Rudolph.
There is note in the London Grove Monthly Meeting of the Quakers, found at Swarthmore College Library in the Friends Historical Society research room. It states that Elizabeth Pennock was disowned for joining the Hicksites 8/9/1828. And John Pennock likewise 10/11/1828. Further on William Pennock was disowned for the same reason on 12/17/1843. A difficulty in researching the Quakers is that they rarely used middle names. While their record keeping is excellent it is sometimes difficult to know which John?
Neither John nor Elizabeth
Pennock could be found on the 1850 or later census. Their
sons Sameul and Hayes Pennock were
living together in Lower
Oxford Chester Ct. PA. Hayes was just 19. Probably
their parents had died. No wills or Administration records
could be found in Chester County.
