The will of Phillip Penn mentions the land he received from his deceased
brother, William Penn. (1) William had enlisted into the Continental Army
in 1776 and was a Lieutenant. He died in 1777. Before he entered the army
he made a will which was probated in Amherst County on July 7, 1777. In it
he names his brothers, George Penn, Philip Penn, Gabriel Penn and Abraham Penn.
His brothers were to share equally if he did not return. William received
2,666.66 acres of land in Kentucky for his service. (2)
And when the estate of Phillip's brother Abraham Penn was settled in 1801, one
of the witnesses was William Hannah. (4) And in the will of his mother Ann
in 1794 she named five children: Frances Tucker, George Penn, Phillip Penn, Gabriel Penn and Abraham Penn.
