My Greatgrandfather was Edward Penn who died in Pawhuska, OK on 3 Dec 1895 before allottment. He was married to Eliza Houston, allotee #1192. I am interested in finding information on Edward Penn's father & mother.

I believe Ed Penn was the brother of Angeline Penn:

If so, his father was Antoine and his mother was Pelagie Mongrain.

I recently saw an excerpt which described Ed Penn and his physical appearance, but I can't recall where I saw it.

Here is the quotation I found on Ed Penn.

This is from some notes in a book called "First White Settlement in Oklahoma" by T. J. Dyer of Alva, OK, published in 1930 and bearing the sub-heading "Story of the First White Settlement in what is now the State of Oklahoma, then known as Indian Territory and other stories".

The quote:

"Bill Conner married an Indian girl by the name of Angelina Penn. Her brother Ed Penn was a large portly, good-natured fellow."


Note: Conner and Penn were married in 1874. Angelina would pass away 5 years later.

Here is some info I have on PENN which is likely connected to Edward PENN.


Winfield Courier, July 10, 1874: Bill Conner, a Little Osage Chief, married Miss Angie Pyne (PENN), of Osage Mission last week.

Antoine PENN (a French Canadian) died in 1853 after a measles epidemic broke out at the Osage Mission, where he was buried on April 19. He was about thirty years of age. He had married an Osage, Pelagie Mongrain, in 1842. A daughter, Angeline PENN, was seventeen months old at the time of her father's death. Angeline PENN Conner died in 1879 during her daughter's infancy.

For the year 1878-William Conner, age thirty-two; and Angeline Pen or Hum-pa-to-kah, age twenty-six,-received $3.40 in cash for the first half-year and $3.50 for the second.

William Conner remarried Adeline Newman and had one son, Woodie Conner, who was born in 1882 and died in 1931.
