Hi Richard,
I have the cemetery listings of the PENNELs who are buried in Pennel Hill Cemetery in Halifax, VT, including a Eunice PENNEL, daughter of Capt. James and Mrs. Hannah PENNEL, d. Oct. 2, 1787 in her 6th year.

I had not heard of the possible France connection before.

There were at least 4 John PENNELL or PENNELs in the same family that I know of:

This is a rough draft; additions and corrections are welcomed.
1st generation
John PENNEL m. Sarah [earliest] of Colrain, Franklin Co., MA [Massachusetts] and Halifax, Windham Co., Vermont [VT] [my 7 great grandparents],
==
2nd generation
Deacon John PENNEL [d. 1797] m. Eleanor SMITH [d. 1770] [my 6 great grandparents],
==
3rd generation
John PENNEL b. 1758 m. Jane HOLMES [1756-1846 ae 90 yrs.] [my 5 great granduncle],
==
4th generation
John PENNEL b. 1787 [my 4 great granduncle]
===
5th generation
etc.
================================================
Also, Capt. James PENNEL [d. 1827 aged 74 years] m. Hannah [d. 1831 age 75 years] are buried in
Pennel Hill Cemetery, Halifax, VT.

Hope we are newly found cousins,
