Research notes
✓ AS TO HIMSELF (Burke's LGI p.270): Col. RICHARD PENNEFATHER, of NEW PARK, co. Tipperary; father of Margaret (m. Feb 1812 Ambrose Going). ? HIS DESCENT IS THE OPEN QUESTION and a genuinely worthwhile next lookup: NEW PARK came to the Pennefathers through Levina Kingsmill, and the tree already holds Matthew Pennefather (I99019), Matthew Pennefather Cornet (I99021), William (I99017) and John (I99016). Burke's LGI 'PENNEFATHER OF RATHSALLAGH' should place Col. Richard in one generation. NOT WIRED to the existing Pennefathers - see the note on his daughter. END OF LINE as entered.
