  • Notes 
    • Penelope's parents moved to Norfolk, CT, in 1759. Her stepmother Hannah Remington was reportedly from Suffield. (source: History of the Simon Mills Family, by Katie Mills, p. 59)

      In the 1810 census Penelope appears to be a widow, listed as head of household in Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY. She is listed next to son-in-law Samuel Olds and near son Martin Remington. Also in the same town is David Remington, probably the nephew of Jabez. Penelope's household is as follows: 1 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 16-25, 1 FWM 26-44, 1 FWF 10-15, 1 FWF 16-25, and 1 FWF 45+.

      Penelope died of consumption at age 59. "She was a professor of religion in the Baptist denomination."
