The following was taken from the Thursday, December 2, 1847 edition of the Richmond Advocate:
"Died, at his residence in Mecklenburg County, 29 October 1847, Mr. Pennington Lett, of a disease which at the end rendered him speechless and sensless. And yet another of the same name gone! Only three days had passed since the above death when Miss Angelina Lett, daughter of Joseph Lett, Sr., and niece of the above, was taken."
Pennington Lett m. Frances Pennington was the son of Joseph Lett, Sr. and Faithy Hubbard. The Angelina mentioned was the daughter of Pennington's brother Joseph Lett, Jr. and wife Mary "Polly" Jeffries Burnett. (As a note the name in the obituary, Joseph Lett, Sr., is used because he had a son of the same name and his father was deceased. With that in mind he was the Senior Joseph at the time thus who I know as Joseph Lett, Jr. was Joseph Lett, Sr. in the obituary.
