Part 1: Descendants of Robert Jennings Generation No. 1 1. ROBERT1 JENNINGS He married CATHERINE SALLEE1. Notes for ROBERT JENNINGS: The exact date and place of birth of Robert Jennings, Sr. is unknown at this time. It is said he was born in Maryland; that he came into Virginia (place not stated), then into Rowan County, North Carolina. The date of his removal from Virginia to North Carolina is fixed in the minds of his descendants as 1767, since his son, Jacob, was born shortly before he moved. Some of the descendants of Robert Jennings, Sr. resided in Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky. They state he came to Kentucky from "Yadkin Valley" in North Carolina. It is also said that he went from North Carolina to Tennessee, and then into Kentucky. Robert Jennings first appears in the records of Rowan County, North Carolina in 1783, the date he had a land grant. The records indicate his petition for land was entered in 1779; "Robert Jennings, 300 acres in Rowan County on October 10, 1783, entered on December 25, 1779, on the waters of Dicas Creek adjoining George Reed. (North Carolina: Land Grants, Secretary of State: Book 51-67) Thomas Read, with no dower signs a deed to George Reed both of Rowan County, North Carolina on May 5, 1794, tract of 100 acres on Beaver Dam and Dicas Creek next to John Hollis, George Reed, and Robert Jinnings, original grant to George Read now deceased by sale on November 4, 1784 and he willed it to the said Thomas Read. (Rowan County, North Carolina: Deed Book 13-571) While a resident of Rowan County, Robert Jennings, Sr. bought land in Madison County, Kentucky on May 10, 1799 (Deed Book: D-526). After his removal to Kentucky, he sold his land in Rowan County, North Carolina. Robert Ginnings of Metteson County, Kentucky a deed to George Reed of Rowan County, North Carolina signed on October 9, 1799, tract of 100 acres on waters of Dykers Creek; the other adjoining was a Henry Sloan. The land adjoining Henry Sloan laid just across the present highway bridge over the Yadkin River, seven miles Northeast of Salisbury. (See Land Deeds, Rowan County, North Carolina) Robert Jennings appears in the following U.S. Census Records: 1810 Madison County, Kentucky Robert Jennings, 1 male 45 up; 1 female 16 to 26, 1 female 45 up; 1820 Madison County, Kentucky Robert Jennings, 1 male 45 up; 1 female 45 up; Robert Jennings lived four miles north of Kirksville, Madison County, Kentucky (Source: Forrest Calico, Historian, Garrard County, Kentucky). The will of Robert Ginnings was probated in open Court on Monday, August 4, 1828, Madison County, Kentucky naming the following heirs: wife: (Name not listed), "1/3 part of my Estate both personal and real during her natural life or widowhood, which is to return to my children at her death". son: William Ginnings son: Jacob Ginnings son: John Ginnings son: Isaiah Ginnings daughter: Sally Heathman All of the above children will share in "An equal part of all my Estate". son: Jesse Ginnings $200.00 son: Thomas Ginnings $200.00 Exors.: My sons, John Ginnings, Isaiah Ginnings, and Jonathan Heathman (husband of Sally Jennings Heathman): Witnesses: Samuel Winbourne, Robert Jennings, Jr., James DeJarnette (Will Book: D-427) It is said Robert Jennings is buried in "Old Jennings Cemetery", seven miles Southwest of Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky. The cemetery is located in a field in sight of the old home of his son, Isaiah Jennings. The inscription on his tombstone is worn, and only the following can be deciphered: Rober ___8 (Evidently part of the year of his death, 1828) August 8, 1828: Articles of Agreement made and entered between Catherine Jennings of the one part of and John Jennings, Isaiah Jennings, and Jonathon Hathman, executors of Robert Jennings, deceased, all of Madison County, Kentucky, Whereas we the said John Ginnings, Isiah Ginnings, and Jonathan Heathman this day hath bought of the above named Catherine Ginnings the 1/3 part of Robert Ginnings Estate which was willed to said Catherine by her deceased husband for which we the undersigned are heirs. Witnesses by Samuel Williams, Samuel Winburne, James DeJarnette. (Madison County, Kentucky: Deed Book S-234). When Robert Jennings, Sr. died three of his children were living in Madison County, Kentucky. They were John Jennings, Isaiah Jennings, and Sally Jennings wife of Johathan Heathman. The other children were residing in Tennessee and one in Illinois. The sons of Robert Jennings, Sr. seemed to have visitied Madison County, Kentucky in chain-fashion. William Jennings and Jacob Jennings were residing in Kentucky in 1792/93. They returned to Tennessee after their father moved to Kentucky and resided in Statesville District, Wilson County, Tennessee. Notes for CATHERINE SALLEE: Catherine Jennings, the mother, went to live with her son, Isaiah Jennings, and she appears in his household in the 1830 U.S. Census, Madison County, Kentucky, age 80 to 90. Children of ROBERT JENNINGS and CATHERINE SALLEE are: 2. i. WILLIAM2 JENNINGS, b. 1763, Virginia. 3. ii. JESSE JENNINGS, b. 1766. 4. iii. JACOB JENNINGS, b. May 12, 1767, Virginia; d. September 05, 1835, Wilson County, Tennessee. 5. iv. JOHN JENNINGS, b. 1769, Rowan County, North Carolina; d. 1834, Madison County, Kentucky. 6. v. ROBERT JENNINGS, JR., b. 1772, Rowan County, North Carolina. vi. THOMAS JENNINGS1, b. 1775, Rowan County, North Carolina; m. RACHEL "BETSY" BRADLEY1, 1816, Madison County, Kentucky. Notes for THOMAS JENNINGS: Thomas Ginnings and wife Rachel, Madison County, Kentucky, a deed to Thomas Bradley of same place signed January 9, 1806, tract of 53 acres lying in said County on the waters of Silver Creek, being part of a tract containg 1455-2/3 ares granted Green Clay September 26, 1784, bound by William Sanders, sd.

Notes for WILLIAM JENNINGS: William Jennings settled in Illinois. Children of WILLIAM JENNINGS and UNKNOWN CROSS are: i. WILLIAM C.3 JENNINGS1. ii. JOHN "GENTLEMAN JOHN" JENNINGS1, b. Abt. 1782; m. UNKNOWN. Notes for JOHN "GENTLEMAN JOHN" JENNINGS: His birth date is between 1782 and 1785. John settled on Smith's Fork in Wilson County, Tennessee. In addition to "Gentleman John", there were three grandsons of William Jennings who were designated as follows: "Big John", "Little John", and "Short John". The "Trist Wood Papers" (See Notes under William Carroll Jennings) lists R. L. Jennings Born 1867 and Died 1913. His name was Robert Lee Jennings, Jr. as a son of "Gentleman John". I would think that this was a grandson or great-grandson of "Gentleman John" (possibly raised as a son) and not his son. "Gentleman John" would have been approximately 80 years old at his birth. There were more children than the ones listed in this program but they their names are unknown to the compiler. iii. ROBERT CROSS JENNINGS1, b. 1783. Notes for ROBERT CROSS JENNINGS: Robert Cross Jennings settled in Bedford County, Tennessee. iv. JAMES W. JENNINGS1. v. JANE JENNINGS1. vi. ASHEL "ACE" JENNINGS1, m.

ELIJAH C. JENNINGS1, m. (1) ELIZABETH B. ROGERS1, 1818; b. April 02, 1799; m. (2) MARY ANN JEWELL1, 1841; m. (3) PRISCILLA HACKWORTH1, July 11, 1841, Wilson County, Tennessee. Notes for ELIJAH C. JENNINGS: Elijah C. Jennings appears in 3 marriage bonds in Wilson County, Tennessee. It is not known if they are all the same Elijah C. Jennings. The marriage bonds appear as follows: 1818 married to Elizabeth B. Rogers 1830 to Priscilla Hackworth July 11, 1841 to Mary Ann Jewell In 1850, Elijah C. Jennings wrote the Jennings Family Association that "he traces from William Jennings, a son of Robert Jennings of Maryland, who settled in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky". (French Tipton Papers in possession of Dr. J. T. Davis, Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky) Elijah C. Jennings appears in the 1880 U.S. Census, Wilson County, Tennessee. He gave his age at that time as 79 years, born in Kentucky and states his father and mother were born in Vriginia. He and his wife, Elizabeth B. Rogers are buried in Smith Fork Cemetery, Statesville, Wilson County, Tennessee. viii. ABNER JENNINGS1, m. CHLOE FARRIS LESTER1, October 16, 1828; b. April 04, 1805.

Mary Elizabeth, I have a Kate E. JENNINGS, daughter of William Lawrence JENNINGS and Maud W. YERIAN, b. September 1888 in Noble County, OH. She married Earl BROWN in 1911. The name Kate caught my eye and I just thought I would pass this along even though it's a long shot. Also found an obituary of a Sade SWIFT, daughter of John and Lucy WEHR. Think John may have also been married to Idella JENNINGS, daughter of David and Amanda FRY JENNINGS of Noble County, Ohio.

Mary Ann, wife of A. P. JENNINGS, the senior proprietor of the Caldwell Press, died on Sunday, Jan. 30th, aged 42 years and 12 days. Mrs. JENNINGS was the daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth HILLYER, and was born in Noble township, this county, Jan. 18th, 1845. When 19 years of age, while teaching school, she was prostrated by a serious attack of lung fever. She never fully regained her health, and after many years of suffering, consumption at last claimed her for its victum (sic). She was married to A. P. JENNINGS, in 1868, who with two children, Bertha May, aged 9, and Cora E., aged 4 survive her. She had long since made a profession of religion and was a member of the Methodist Protestant church at the time of her death. The funeral services occurred at the M. E. church, Caldwell, Feb. 1, Rev. Stauffer preaching a very appropriate sermon from 1 Pet. 4:8 - a text selected by the departed.
I'm researching the family of John JENNINGS (b. c. 1805) and Nancy (Mary) REYNOLDS of Delaware and Knox Counties, Ohio; married November 12, 1826, and these are their children: William (b. c. 1828), Maria (about 1832), Eliza (about 1833), Joseph (about 1835), John (about 1837), Marinda (August 16, 1838-February 18, 1914), Daniel (June 1840-December 26 1903), Oscar (August 7, 1844-November 29, 1927), and Jeremiah (July 13, 1848-December 22, 1939)
It's coming up on Christmas season and I've found new relatives. It would be a really neat present to find more. Let's have a roll call.

I am a descendent of Robert Jennings b.1736 MA who died in Madison Ky in 1828 who married Catherine Sallee b.1740/50 ....I am interested in finding the connection between our families. I am sure many are! In your family did there tend to be more Augustine's down the line? I have a clue from a letter found in my family from Wilson County Tn in 1859 giving news of the family from one brother to another.(E.M. Jennings to W.H. Jennings in Bedford Co. Tn) ..... the letter says... I set down this morning to let you no that we are all well the connections are genly well uncle (looks like)Lessa ( more likely Jessee.....) J. has the chills again aunt Becky Burns is not well her mind is impared tine jennings wife hung herself last weake wheat crops is tolerable fair the oat crop is takin the rust corn is small I have nothing much of importance to write only Bob hatton is lickin old Redy.....ect. I know who aunt Becky is....b.1784 (Rebecca Word who married James Byrn) My ancestor Robert Cross Jennings married both MAry Word and Chaney Word. Chaney was the niece of Mary . I have always thought that Tine Jennings must be AUGUSTINE but I dont know who he was.... I am hoping you may solve this delectable mystery but your Augustine would have been in a different generation. The letter says the connections are genely well..so maybe we can find a connection!

Dear Robert, In my rush to get back with you I did not answer the most obvious question of yours that others may have already answered. Yes, there are several other Augustine JENNINGS in this line that descends from John JENNINGS and Margaret PAYNE son, William JENNINGS, Sr. and his wife, Mary WILLOUGHBY. Also, before I forget for anyone reading this, I am looking to find out if Mary WILLOUGHBY descends from the Thomas WILLOUGHBY that is one of the Ancient Planters? It seems quite likely. I would like to have this information and the information of the surname of Ann ?, wife of William JENNINGS, Jr., and the parents and ancestors of Sarah MORE/MOORE who married Edward Salley/Sallee JENNINGS and the surname of the Rachel ? who married the John JENNINGS who was the son of Sarah MORE/MOORE and Edward Salley/Sallee JENNINGS.... I would like to include this information along with the other that I am mailing out to the JENNINGS cousins if possible. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick Barnett
Dear Andrew, Hello. I am so glad that you saw the posting and sent your reply! I am, also, eager to find the connection with this SALLEE and JENNINGS if it exists.... it certainly seems to. As I mentioned in the first letter, I am now at a point of being close to finishing the information that I have been compiling to send out to several of the JENNINGS cousins that have been waiting for some time for it. There was so much more work to do than what I had anticipated in getting it all put together along with some health problems....but now that all is well I am finally going to get back to the information from the Jennings & Allied Families book from Caren Tidwell along with other information from Sammy Jennings and other info that I have found and will take more time to really study it for connections. As soon as I finish these mailings that have been a long standing first priority but looooong delayed......I will be looking into this matter of the Sallee and Jennings connection to see what I can come up with. If you don't hear back from me before Christmas please, please do contact me after the first of the year and remind me of our shared SALLEE - JENNINGS areas of concern just to make sure we reconnect. I will save your information and address but I have been having some serious problems with my computer that I have been trying to work around but am now copying my thousands of files.....eeeeeekkk!......and switching over to a new laptop this week.....so....just in case.....on all of it.....please contact me after the first of the year to make sure we are on track. In the meantime, I am wishing you and your family and all of our JENNINGS cousins a very Happy Hannukah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May God Bless you all. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick Barnett
Looking for Nancy Jennings, born in Rhode Island, married to Ralph VanHouten, born in Connecticut. She was born 1784. Thank you, Janet
I would also be interested in the reply to this....as the Jennings I am looking for may have been in Bedford County Tennessee. Susanna Jennings who married Phillip Edmondson in 1795 in Mercer County Kentucky. I have a Phillip Edmondson who bought land in Alabama....and was living in Bedford County, Tennessee at the time of the purchase. Need info on any children they may have had. I think this is my missing link to my Edmondsons who ended up in Louisiana. Beverly

Dear Susan, Hi. I am your distant cousin, Bellinda Myrick Barnett. My 6th great grandparents were William Jennings, Jr., born: abt. 1695-1700, died: 1733 and his wife, Ann ?, born: abt. 1695-1700, died: 1734.) (I do not yet know Ann's last name.) He was a brother to your Augustine Jennings and they were sons of my 7th great grandparents who were William Jennings, Sr. and his wife, Mary Willoughby. And the parents of William Jennings, Sr. were my 8th great grandparents, John Jennings, born: abt. 1633 in England and emigrated to Old Rappahannock, Virginia, and his wife, Margaret Payne who thought by most to have been a daughter of Margaret (Jennings?) Robinson, daughter of Richard Robinson, and John Payne. My information shows that Augustine Jennings raised, at least, my 5th great grandfather, Edward Salley Jennings, from the age of 15 years of age and Edward Salley Jennings' sister and youngest child of Ann ? and Wiliam Jennings, Jr., who was 5 years old at the time she was, also, bound out to her uncle, Augustine Jennings. I thought I had the name of the 5 year old and youngest daughter of Ann ? and William Jennings, Jr. but I am not finding it and would like very much to have it. I have seen information on a Sallee family that was related to this Jennings line. I don't know if it is the same as the Salley in my Edward Salley Jennings name or not. I have wondered if his mother's name might have been Ann Sallee/Salley....but nothing to indicate it so far. Edward Salley Jennings married Sarah More/Moore, born: ?? (and I am still trying to find her family.) Their son, John Jennings, (fought in the Revolutionary War,) married a Rachel ? (whose family I am looking for, as well, and wondering if, perhaps, they might be named Bailey as my great, great, great, grandfather, son of Rachel ? and John Jennings, was named Bailey Jennings, born: abt. 1789 in Virginia. Bailey Jennings married Kitty Earle in December, 1811 in Christian County, Kentucky. Kitty Earle appears to be the daughter of Samuel Earle who descends from several men named Samuel Noah Earle/Earles and Sir Richard Kane Earle. Bailey Jennings second wife was named Sally (Sarah? with Sally nickname?) Lee (what line does she descend from?) The daughter of Bailey and Kitty Earle Jennings was my great, great grandmother, Sarah 'Sallie/Sally' Jennings who married Jerry/(poss. Jeremiah) Parker, born: 1795 in Maryland. I am still searching for his family as well but it appears that they are probably descended from the Elizabeth Barham and Drury Parker family.....there is also a Spencer and Parker marriage back in that time that may or may not be part of this Barham and Parker line that looks as if it may be Jerry's line....just not sure yet. The son of Jerry Parker and Sarah 'Sallie' Jennings that was my great grandfather was Spencer B. Parker. He married my great grandmother, Rachael Moranda Lewis who was also known as Moranda Coleman which, I think, was due to a stepfather named Coleman. Her biological father was John Lewis, born: abt. 1820 in Jones Co., Mississippi, son of Howell Lewis, born: abt. 1788 in Granville Co., North Carolina who was descended from Charles Lewis and wife, Mary Howell, daughter of John Howell, and, also, from the John Lewis referred to as John Lewis, the Emigrant, who was the progenitor of the Warner Hall Lewis line. My John Lewis, born: abt. 1820 in Jones Co., Mississippi, father of Rachael Moranda Lewis, is shown in most information to have been married to Harriett Ellzey in 1860 census and indicates that Moranda was abt. 9 or 10 years old at the time which would indicate that she was older than Spencer Parker who was her 2nd husband. At the time she married Spencer Parker she married him under the name of Moranda Coleman as she did when she married her first husband, Wesley Bright. In my direct family information I show that the mother of Rachael Moranda Lewis was named Carrie/Karrie Knight. But I have not been able to find yet whether Carrie/Karrie Knight was the biological or step mother of Rachael Moranda Lewis Coleman Bright Parker. The above mentioned Harriett Ellzey.....that's a z as in x y z in case you are not familiar with this font.....makes it a little hard to read.... but Harriett Ellzey appears to be the daughter of Evan Ellzey whose wife may have been name Mary Lewis or Mary ? The above mentioned Howell Lewis, father of John Lewis, married Nancy Copeland, mother of John Lewis, and she was the daughter of Rachael Tucker and Ripley Copeland, son of Dorothy Ripley and Nicholas Copeland, Jr., son of Nicholas Copeland, Sr. and Nancy Lott, son of Joseph Copeland. I believe I have that in correct order.....I have dates.....but just getting this off quickly. Rachael Moranda Coleman Bright Parker and Wesley Bright had children Henry Bright, Daisy Bright, Almeda 'Mead' Bright, Maggie Bright (Mangum.) Then when Rachael Moranda married Spencer Parker they had children: George Washington Parker, Ellis Neely Parker and twins, Callie and Allie Artimissa Parker, my grandmother, born: August 11, 1892 near Braxton, Simpson Co., Mississippi, who married James Martin Myrick, born: 1892 in Simpson Co., Mississippi, son of Harriet 'Hattie' Katherine Herrington and Calvin Pierce Myrick, born: 1858 in Mississippi who were actually 3rd cousins, once removed. Harriet Herrington was the daughter of Rebecca Jane Dickson, born: abt. 1828 and Isom Daniel Herrington, born: 1828 in Covington Co., Mississippi, son of Harriet Stuckey, prob. daughter of John Stuckey, and Harriet's husband, Enoch Herrington, born: abt. 1800 in North Carolina, son of William Herrington, Sr., born: abt. 1755 in North Carolina, son of Charles Herrington. The abvoe mentioned Calvin Pierce Myrick, born: 1858 in Mississippi, was the son of William H. Myrick, born: 1823-1827 in Mississippi, and wife, Phoebe Catherine Herrington, born: abt. 1834-1836, and her parents were Cynthia Grantham, born: 1800 in South Caorlina, (parents ??,) and William Herrington, Jr., born: abt. 1794 in North Carolina, son of William Herrington, Sr., born: abt. 1755 in North Carolina, son of Charles Herrington. The above mentioned William H. Myrick, was the son of Elizabeth Pierce, born: abt. 1790 in South Carolina, and William Myrick, born: mid-late 1700's, (still looking to prove his parents.) He, apparently, descends from the line from Owen Myrick and his descendants two Francis Myrick men, father and son, who married two Carroll women, Rebecca and Susannah. My grandparents, Allie Parker and James Martin Myrick had 10 children including my father, Billy Earle Myrick, born in Mississippi and moved to Louisiana abt. 1930 and married my mother, Ethel LaVerne Slaughter who was born in Louisiana and was the daughter of Louis Hector Slaughter, born: abt. 1870, in Louisiana and Ethel Rosalee Hatten (whose first husband was Joseph Marion Womack.) Louis Hector Slaughter was married twice before this marriage but I do not know their names. He was in his 60's when my mother was born. He was the son of Clarissa 'Clara' Williams, born: abt. 1840, (daughter of William Williams, born: abt. 1795 in Maryland, and Elizabeth Williams, born in Ohio,) and Clarissa's husband, my great grandfather, Hudson/Hutson H./(Harris?) Slaughter, born: 1844, son of Susan Crouch, born: abt. 1815, died after childbirth in 1844, (dau of Sarah and Samuel Crouch, born: abt. 1785 in North Carolina,) and Susan's husband, John M. Slaughter, born: abt. 1795 in North Carolina, son of Mary McDonald and her husband, Owen Slaughter, Jr., son of Elizabeth (Bolton?) and husband, Owen Slaughter, Sr., son of William Slaughter, son of Edward Slaughter, son of William Slaughter, son of John Slaughter. The above mentioned Ethel Rosalee Hatten was the daughter of Rodella 'Della' Jones, dau of Martha Ann Caroline McCarty, born: in Mississippi, and her husband, William Tunley Jones, born: November 02, 1928, son of Alford Jones. Martha Ann Caroline McCarty, born: December 05, 1833, was the daughter of Nancy Spoldy/Simot? and Hiram McCarty, who descends from Michael McCarty, born: abt. 1728 in County Cork, Ireland and his son, Michael McCarty, who fought in the Revolutionary War. Ethel Rosalee Hatten's father and the husband of my great grandmother, Rodella 'Della' Jones was Cicero Lamkin Hatten who was the son of Frances Elizabeth Grisham, born: abt. 1840, daughter of Elizabeth Ann Ford, born: 1821, (daughter of Henry Ford and Mary Buckles,) and Elizabeth Ford's husband, my great great grandfather, Jehu Madison Grisham, born: 1815 in Mississippi, who descends from Jehu Grisham who was born in Ireland in the mid-1700's and emigrated to America. The above mentioned Cicero Lamkin Hatten's father and husband of Frances Elizabeth Grisham was Lawrence M. Hatten, born: 1833 and died: 1865 as a P.O.W. at Union Camp Chase in Ohio, he was a Confederate soldier in the Civil War who, after fighting in the Battle of Franklin, was wounded in the Battle of Nashville, where he was captured and taken prisoner of war never to return home. Lawrence M. Hatten was the son of William Hatten, born:1800 in North Carolina and Frances Lucretia 'Patsy' Lott, born: 1800 in Alabama, daughter of Absalom Lott, born: in the mid-1700's, son of Elizabeth Joyner, born: 1724 in Isle of Wight, Virginia, (dau of John Joyner and Elizabeth Brown, dau of John Brown,) and John Lott, born: abt. 1720, son of John Lott, born: abt. 1690 in Isle of Wight, Virginia, son of Bridgeman Joyner, born: 1655 in Isle of Wight, Virginia, and Ann Harris Mayo. Bridgeman Joyner was the son of Thomas Joyner, born: 1619 in Bere Regis, Dorset, England, and his wife, Elizabeth Robins and Thomas Joyner was the son of Thomas Joyner, Sr., born: abt. 1595 in Bere Regis, Dorset, England. The above mentioned Frances Lucretia Lott was the daughter of Absalom Lott and Martha Jane Dorsey Lightfoot, born: abt. 1763, possibly in Virginia or Antigua. Her father is said to be a wealthy English descendant in Virginia, and appears to be descended from the Jane Jones and Reverend Richard Lightfoot line out of England in the late 1500's and in their church at Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, England. This line married into the Corbin, Armistead, Lee, and other lines including Worthington, Arundel, and, possibly, Dorsey and Howard. The Hatten line descends from John Hatton an original and surviving settler at Jamestown and married into Lamkin, Underwood, Lewis and other. I am in the process of trying to finally finish compiling a lot of this information to get off to several of the Jennings cousins that have been waiting for a few months....for the copies of Jennings and Allied Families (Jennings portion) book with additions that I have on this line. I received my initial major amount of Jennings information from Sammy Jennings in Spring or Springhill, Louisiana....and then Caren Tidwell sent me my copy of the Jennings and Allied Families Jennings portion of the book that I am forwarding to five other cousins who then have a list I am forwarding for others who are awaiting their copies. Ill health and such delayed it all from being mailed earlier but I am up and running on it all now and hope to have it out very shortly now. If you are in need of further information on this line please send me your address and I will mail it to you as soon as possible. I do have Family Tree Maker 5.0 and am installing 7.0 shortly.....but have had several problems with my computer......so I am in the process of copying files and getting them all installed in a new laptop to get me back on course.....so that is why I can't send a whole file right now.....having problems with attaching files and eveyrthing at the moment.....but will be past it shortly. Well, this is about as far as I have time to go right now but wanted to shoot this off to you. Please get in touch with me at either [email protected] or [email protected] Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick Barnett
Augustine Jennings was born in 1708 in Lunenburg Parish,Richmond, VA. He was son of William Jennings Sr. and had an older brother, William Jennings, Jr. William Jennings, Jr. m. Ann __ and had children named Edward, William, John, Calathans and Martha. Apparently William Jr. died in 1733 and his wife Ann died in 1734. She "left their children in the care of" Augustine Jennings. I am wondering if anyone has information on this, and whether anyone knows if Augustine Jennings raised his brother's children as well as his own 14 children? Sue Streett
Hello: I am interested in your first name as my great great grandfather was Tyra D. Jennings of Lafayette County, MO and later Chariton Co., MO. He was b. ca 1818 in TN, possibly Maury Co., and died in 1873. His name was often written as "Tirey" or "Tyree". He married Charity Couts, daughter of Christley Couts and Frances Barton. I believe that Tyra was the son of David Jennings and Sarah Glenn Dabney but have never found definitive proof. I have a great deal of evidence supporting that conclusion but have always hoped to find someone who might have family knowledge or better yet, a family bible. Any connection? Evelyne Keith P.S. Anyone else interested in that line?
Hi Sue, I recently dicovered that an ancestor I have been tracing, Charles A. Magill, was actually born Charles Jennings. His father was William Jennings and his mother was Elizabeth MacGill. Known siblings are Patrick, James, William, and Nicholas. No sisters were mentioned in the court record that I found changing the boys names. The document was filed in 1811 in Anne Arrundel County, Maryland by their maternal grandfather. It stated that Elizabeth died in 1809 and that William Jennings had abandoned the children. So...this could be my William Jennings and his siblings. I do have a record on the Maryland census for a William Jennings living in Baltimore in 1800. After that he disappears.

Sue, the only reference to Mildred and George Stringfellow is a listing of their marriage which is the same date and place as you noted in your mail to me. Unfortunately, I can find no references to the other surnames you sent that would fit the time line, family connections or physical locations. Wish I could have been of more help - success to you in your research. Regards, Tyre Jennings
