I am looking for information on John T. Penniston, Civil War veteran, who married Agnes Hardy (unsure on this name). They had 4 children: Rose Ann, John, William, Mary A. The first three were born near Des Moines, Polk County, IA. Mary was born in Leavenworth, KS. Agnes died in 1867 after giving birth to Mary . The children were adopted out: Rose Ann to an OLMSTEAD family, John to a JENKINS family, Mary to a JANESKY family (don't know about William). John drowned in Rockford, Winnebago County, IL around 1899.
