Family of S. R. Penn  Sanford R. Penn, Elizabeth Hardin Penn, first child "I
do not know which one of their children is in the photograph but they
are married. Sanford
R. Penn married Elizabeth Hardin/Harding in Green Co.,
Kentucky.
One born 1822 (sr) and the other born 1824. Guess that is
their first
child. Their third child was William Perry "Bill" Penn.
Their last child, Samuel Brown Penn,
born
in Texas. Elizabeth Hardin Penn married
Horace Boyd Lindsey in Grayson County, Texas in 1867.
She is buried in the Lindsey family plot in the Kentuckytown
cemetery.
S. B. Penn (1861-1945), her son and my greatgrandfather, is buried in Shawnee, Oklahoma in a Penn/Enos plot at Fairview Cemetary. Samuel Brown Penn married Martha A. "Mattie" Morgan in Clay Co., Texas October 24, 1885. By 1909 he and his family had moved to Shawnee, Oklahoma. He and his wife are buried in Fairview Cemetery in Shawnee, Pottawatomie Co., Oklahoma. (FAG #100141415) I wish I knew what happened to Sanford R. Penn but he died early in Civil War after joining up in Texas. I believe he might have died in Oklahoma Territory."

Morgan, mother of Martha Amelia Morgan Penn  "My grandmother, Elizabeth Penn,
is the young girl on the left. Her sister, Arlene Penn, is on
the right. Right photograph - her father Samuel Brown Penn and his wife, Mattie
Morgan
Penn. Somewhere
is a story
my mother wrote about her grandfather and grandmother growing up in
Texas.
I also have a series of stories that I think are in my
greatgrandmother's
handwriting about growing up in that area of Texas as a child and how
her
father came to Texas in the first place. Samuel Brown Penn
(called
S. B.) was, of course, the son of Sanford R. and Elizabeth Hardin Penn
Lindsey."
"Arlene Penn married Leon Toliver (Tol) Boswell and they lived in Brownsville. There are many Boswells still in the Harlingen/Brownsville area. I believe their youngest son and last surviving member of his generation - Sam Penn Boswell may have the family Bible. There is even a Sam Penn Boswell the 3rd now."
