Joe McKee, researcher of this line, found that the Vawter Cemetery in Illinois, where Early Vawter, and perhaps Beverly and Elizabeth Vawter are buried, can't be visited. It's part of a large strip mine for coal. Either it has been destroyed during mining, relocated or it is surrounding by coal pits and off limits. He is going to try and figure out what happened. His impression is that a cemetery must be relocated and can't just be destroyed, so the tombstones are probably stacked up somewhere.

Thomas was the son of John Stewart Pennington and Jemima Houser. He was but 17 when he married Polly, in 1829 they moved to McDonough Co., IL. In 1832, Thomas joined a battalion of men which was raised in the county to serve in the Black Hawk War. They marched to Oquawka and were stationed there for the purpose of guarding the frontier. “They were out eighty-six days, but performed no special service. They drew their rations regularly ate heartily, played euchre, and visited the friendly Indian camps on the opposite side of the river.”

5a. Allen Jefferson Pennington b. 3 Aug 1837 IL d. 1928 Phillips Co., KS Called Uncle Bud, Allen left the story of Thomas and Polly as a family legacy.

(Of Thomas) “I knew Daniel Boone, personally, I thought, even as a child. He was talked about in our family and called “Uncle Daniel”, long before I even suspected that he was a famous figure. He was just one of our family. As I grew older and found out what an important person he was and what lasting marks the whole Boone family has made on American history, I haved tried to learn all I could about him both fact and fiction. On 3 Aug 1837 a baby boy was born to Thomas Jefferson Pennington and his wife, Polly Vawter Pennington. This event took place on a farm near Industry, IL, in McDonough County. They named this child, the fifth and last born to this union, Allen Jefferson Pennington. Bud as he was called was the great grandchild of Richard and Hannah Boone Pennington, Hannah sister of Daniel Boone.

On 3 Aug 1840, Polly died. The cause, I do not know. What a sad birthday for a dear little boy of three. Polly was only 33 years old, she having been born on 14 Dec 1807.”

Beverly was likely the guardian of Elizabeth before his death in 1845, necessitating the appointment of a new guardian, although no final proof was located in the records.

History of McDonough County Illinois, 1885 p. 730. Walter Janes came in 1834 and located on section 7…. Jesse Janes resides upon section 20. Mr. Janes was born 1820 in KY, on Dec 31 1846 he married to Perlina Vanter (sic Vawter) who died April 15, 1860 Leaving him with 5 children.

i. Frederick H. Vawter b. bet. 1825-1830 Cumberland Co., KY d. 29 Jul 1848, McDonough Co., IL. Frederick is named in his fathers will in 1839 and is accountable with the family in the 1830 census of Cumberland KY and in the 1840 census of McDonough Co., IL.

Frederick is stated to have died intestate in McDonough Co. on or about 29 July 1848. Fredrick's siblings, stated from Beverly's will... and Elizabeth J. Vawter, heir of Early Vawter, were the heirs. It's safe to assume that Fredrick died without a widow or children. Frederick was probably between 18 and 23 at the time of his death.

A descendant of Russell’s through Beverly is Mrs. W. H. Black, quite elderly but alive in the 1920’s who sent information from an old family Bible over 100 years old at that time to William Snyder Vawter who was updating the Grace Vawter Bicknell book “The Vawter Family in America” pub. In 1905, Hollenbeck Press, Indianapolis, IN. She states she copied the material from the Bible: “Russell and Mary Spark were parents name of Nancy Vawter that in a notation in the Bible that Nancy married H. Rigg. And about 27 years old when she died. That the Bible was more than 100 years old.”

In 1939, Miss M. Alpha Mitchell, granddaughter of Nancy Vawter Rigg, requested help from Wm. Snyder Vawter in locating her lineage. Her address at the time was 508 S. 2nd St. Springfield, IL. She states she had material that shows Nancy was a daughter of Russell.
However, the above material is misleading as we find Nancy Vawter married to Samuel Rigg living in McDonough Co., IL in 1850, near Bradford’s family and others of this line.

Nancy Vawter b. 1786 NC d. aft. 1850 McDonough Co., IL m. Samuel Rigg b. ca 1783 MD.

Samuel came to NC about 1810, he left NC about 1815 moving first to Greenup Co., KY then to Sangamon Co., IL in ca 1828 then to McDonough Co., IL ca 1835. The parents of Samuel were Thomas and Sarah (Hammond) Riggs/Rigg.

(John the brother of Russell). John of Elbert being the son of Richard3, John2, Bartholomew1 Vawter of VA.


There are 2 histories of McDonough Co., IL that list the Rigg family. The first states that Samuel was a native of Rutherford Co., NC the other that he was born in Maryland as does the 1850 census of McDonough Co., IL. Samuel and Nancy are buried at the Rigg Cemetery in McDonough Co. located Bethel Twnp. SW ¼, Section 1. Six miles south of Macomb. Many of their children and grandchildren are buried there. Samuel and Nancy are shown in the 1810 census with one female daughter. In 1814 Stokes Co., NC deed book (2) 20 Sep 1814, Henry Jackson to Charles Duncam, 71 A on S. Beaver Island Creek adj.

Children of Bradford and Patsey (Taylor) Vawter:

a. Reuben Taylor Vawter b. ca 1811 Stokes Co., NC d. 1862 Salem, Marion Co., IL

m. (1) 6 Jan 1835 in Stokes, Co., NC to Harriet M. Transou of Waughtown, NC d. bet 1845-1850 TN. Harriet’s parents were Peter and Ann Transou, of the Moravian community of NC. Marriage record Stokes Co., NC bondsman Bradford Vawter and wit. John Hill.
Several of the Vawter’s married into the Moravian society of NC and moved to TN and IN to other Moravian settlements. The Moravian were pacifists but a few served in the Revolution and other wars and usually provided food and shelter to both sides in a conflict. They used a communal form of living and separated male and female society, called choirs, until marriage. They believed strongly in education. They had a strong belief in God and their elders made many decisions concerning their marriage, places to live and job training.

By 1845 Reuben and Harriet had moved to the area of Henderson and Madison Co., TN. Harriet’s parents are found in Madison Co., TN in 1850 when the 2 oldest children are shown living with them. Reuben was living with another family and the youngest child was with a third family both in Henderson Co, TN. This would indicate at least some type of Moravian settlement in that area. After Reuben remarried he reunited the children and moved ca 1850-52 to IL where there were other Vawter relatives. The confusion of the newspaper article seems to indicate that both Reuben and Harriet are deceased but they were not orphans of both parents only of Harriet who is not found in the 1850 census of either TN or NC and presumed dead after 1845 at the birth of their third child and before the 1850 census with the family split.
