An entry in Wikipedia reads:
"The Penick Family (1820-1920) were wealthy plantation owners in Todd C0unty, Kentucky, in the United States.
The Penick family amassed a great amount of land in the Allensville, Kentucky area of around 5,000 acres during the beight of their farming operaions. The plantation was lost in the 1920's when farming operations ceased due to lack of interest by the families.
The Plenick family plantation homes still exist on Allensville Road in Todd County, Kentucky. The homes are of wood-frame in the mid-19th century style, known as the transitioning phase between Federal and Greek Revival.
Family linkages are to that of the Mary Todd family, for which Todd County is named.
