Son of Benjamin and Catherine Tackett Pennington
Hanged on his property by Home Guard agents on or about 17 July 1864; probably due to his sons Abner and John serving with the Union Calvary during the Civil War. Another less-likely story was they wanted to know the location of William's fathers (Benjamin Pennington Sr) gold.
