Esther Maud Inwood Pennington
Feb. 20, 1835 - May 30, 1925 Buried at Old Bostwick Lake cemetery Esther Inwood Pennington's Religious Views
Esther belonged to the Bostwick Lake Congregational Church as did many of her kin - and later relation. This is most likely the place where her children met their future spouses. Not everyone in the family is listed in the church registry. Most notably missing is James Pennington himself. Likewise, several of the children are not registered. Listed are: Esther Pennington - 7 Jan 1883 Eva A Pennington - 7 Jan 1883 Warren Pennington - 7 Jan 1883 Grace E Weller (Warren's wife) - 6 March 1892 See Complete Bostwick Lake Congregational Church Registry A New Generation
Oliver S and Isabella H died young from Scarlet Fever. Clarence, Oliver, and Edith never married. This leaves William, Eva, and Warren to carry forward the Pennington lineage. Whatever became of these children?
