I am a descendant of the Peningtons and Perkins, many of whom served in The 50th. Clayborn Penington is my great, great, great grandfather. And I discovered Lynville Perkins is a great uncle as his sister, Charity, married Clayborn. I know Clayborn was captured at Gettysburg and held at Point Lookout in Maryland for the remainder of the war. But I know nothing of his service during the war prior to that. His two brothers also served in the 50th, Sgt David Pnennington and Andrew Jackson Pennington. Both died in POW camps.
