Note 1
There is very likely a connection between Mary Penn wife of Fountain Flynt and Louisa Penn 1795-1859- mother of John P Penn, consider if mother of Mary E R also.
Louisa E C Flynt and Louisa Penn both buried Augusta. All were in Marshall County Mississipi 1840 - 1850--- in 1840 Louisa Penn seems to be widow, son john 2 older sisters in Bay twp of Jackson Cty Ark in 1850- he remains until death in 1894. Similair names run in both Penn and Flynt ----Louisa and Cordelia.
Also note that Conner seems to mix in also --boarder with JP Penn 1880 and neighbors in Marshall Cty Miss 1850.
