JOHN HENRY PENSINGER


J. H. Pensinger was born in April 1796 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, near Greencastle. John married his wife, Mary, about 1820 in Pennsylvania and they began their family there:
Rosanna born abt. 1821 in Franklin, PA
Mary Ann b. 12 Mar 1835 in Franklin, PA
Sarah A. b. abt. 1839
John b. abt. 1841
Henry C. b. abt. 1843 in OH
Elizabeth b. abt. 1846 in OH

 I have written before about the relationship between this ancestor and William Mackey who both left Pennsylvania in the late 1830s for Zanesville, Ohio. Both families lived in Zanesville for about 10 years and then moved on to Morrow County, Ohio before 1850. The Pensingers and Mackeys were neighbors in the 1850 census of Washington Twp., Morrow, Ohio. 

John Henry died on the fourth of March 1852 in Washington Township, Ohio.
