Many family members and volunteers have researched the individuals and overall history of The Pennington African Cemetery.

The first photo is: Charles S. Jennings, died February 22, 1928 - Co. G 14th Regiment, RI Heavy Artillery Battery G 11th United States Colored Force. Charles ran away from home as a long boy (estimated approximately 14 years of age) to enlist in The Civil War. Right up until the day of his death, he always saw to it that flags were placed next to the Civil War veterans in the cemetery. At the time of his death, he was the oldest living Civil War veteran in Pennington.
