"In God We've Trusted"

James & Anna Penny

Our Great Great Grandfathers:

William H. Penny and James Noel Sullivan

In God We've Trusted is what I believe that my family has done over the years to survive the hardships that they have encountered and to build a firm foundation for our family. God has truely blessed us with wonderful parents and lovely children. Our parents have taught us good moral standards and Godly principles so that we might in turn teach them to our children. I thank them for that. When I get in a position that I do not know what to do to make things better, I remember the verse:

"Count it all Joy" James 1:2

For when we count it all Joy, no matter what the circumstances, God will truly take control of the situation and make it turn out for our good.

Hi, I'm Anna Sullivan Penny and my husband is J.C. Penny. We make our home in Groesbeck, Texas. We are the parents of two sons and a daughter, two daughters in law, one son in law and eight grandchildren. We are very proud of all of them. I have been researching our families for the past year and a half with great results. My husband's family has been a part of the Marble Falls, Burnet Co., Texas community since 1886 and my Sullivan family started, as far as I know, in Essex Co.,Virginia in 1812. They were then in South Carolina, then on to Uniontown, Marango Co., Alabama and finally to Grimes Co., Texas in the mid 1800's.
