  • Notes 
    • Apparently, there is a legend in existance that indicates that William Penny came to Newfoundland with two brothers, one of which also settled in Trinity Bay. "Three brothers, from Devon or Cornwall, came to Newfoundland, two settled at English Harbour (Trinity B.) and the third at Indian Islands (MUN Folklore)."

      A descendant of the third brother at Indian Islands may be Charles of Indian Islands (Fogo district) 1858 (DPHW 83)

      A 1753 census of Heart's Content reveals that there are two Penny men living there at that time: Robert Penney and George Penney. Inasmuch as this William had a son named Robert (for which there is no christening date) it is highly possible that Robert was the first born child of William and Ann's marriage. If that is the case, then it may be a strong indication that William's father was named Robert Penny. Robert is one of those names that tend to follow in families and is not normally given without some strong ancestral connection to another significant Robert in a family.
