PENNOCKS: A prominent family in colonial Pennsylvania

Mark Myers's lecture on Wednesday, Nov. 19, entitled "The Cutting Edge of the Frontier: The Pennocks of Primitive Hall," will be of interest to anyone who has even a passing interest in local history. The talk will be at Primitive Hall, the 18th-century ancestral home of the Pennock family, which is located on North Chatham Road (Route 841) between Routes 926 and 842.
Mark, a member of Primitive Hall's Board of Trustees, plans to explore the Pennock family's role in colonial Pennsylvania and will highlight local "buildings and landscapes that they would have known in their daily lives," he wrote.
The lecture is a fundraiser for the Hall and tickets are $35. Signup is required by Nov. 15; email tonaleir@aol.com for more information. The talk will start at 7, with a reception at 6.
