Pennington Family

 Mottos

The love of my country prevails

"Vincit amor patriae" 

Pennington The love of my country exceeds everything

"Vincent amor patriae laudumque immensa cupido."

-Virg.Æn. vi. 823 v. Muncaster b. Pennington Firm, Vigilant, Active Muncaster, B.

The Penningtons were for the most part Knights successively, and men of great valour in the King's services, on the borders and marches, and in other expeditions where it pleased the King to command them.

All the Mulcasters are descended from one David de Mulcastre, the son of Benedict Pennington who lived in King John's time. David had two sons John and Adam, both called de Mulcastre, and so their posterity take their surname of the place where their first ancestor David died.
