Looking for James Nelson Penny
I've been searching for my great-grandfather, James Nelson PENNY, for several years now with little to no success. He was born November 3, 1868 and died in August 1920 of a heart problem.
I know he moved to the TN/AL area around 1910 from somewhere in Ohio. He had several brothers and possibly a sister but no one knows anything else about them. He came to Alabama with a son, Charley Penny from a previous marriage. He married my great-grandmother in November 1911 (approx) and they had three children: Raymond Nelson, Susie Bell and James Lawrence. I've had contact with several people who believe we are connected in some way but have all been unsuccessful to make a connection.
Would appreciate any helpful information.
Thanks,
Pamela
