Enfant(s):
Joseph Penney married Bestsy Ann Frear, Mary Ann Frear's niece, who was married to Joseph's brother, Edward Wakefield Penney.
He and his wife had seven children.
Joseph lived at Mill Bay all of his life. Originally a bushman, he was a butcher in the family, with a large slaughterhouse.
He had a great passion for horses, and it was he who was "Joker" Harris's rival, with his coaches and horses, and in transporting mail. He was known as the "whip of the north", while the driving of his two sons and his maori driver was much admired, as were the Penney's "little creamies".
Joseph became a maori interpreter.
He died at Kaitaia Hospital on 29 March 1939, aged 88 years.
He and his wife are both interred at St Andrew's Churchyard, Mangonui, Far North, Northland.
