Whether Jennings is the English Zanini or whether Gideon Jennings was an Englishman who assumed the name of Zanini and changed it back to the English Jennings upon returning to live among English people, or whether, he changed the name to Jennings because he fancied the same, is only a matter of conjecture. When Gideon Jennings died in 1750, the Rev. John Giessendanner, Episcopal Minister at Orangeburg made the following entry in the Church Register: "On Saturday, March 30th was entered in the Churchyard of Orangeburg the body of Gideon Jennings, an old protestant Italian liver in this Township these 14 years past, who died the day before. His age unknown." When his widow died in 1756, Rev.

The Rev. John Giessendanner, in his Church Register mentions three children of Gideon and Ursula Jennings as follows: 1) John Jennings (this John married Barbara Hasfort, widow) Barbara's will mentions a daughter, Ann Linder. 2) Phillip Jennings (this Phillip married Elizabeth Hasford, widow) (The above John and Phillip are in the probate records in Charleston, South Carolina and indicate John Jennings signed deed (of land in Orangeburg) to Phillip Jennings; also Deed of Gift of a negro girl from John Jennings to his wife, Barbara.)

Although I do not know the parents of Meredith Jennings, I have come across the following information that might help. >From the book "Documented Notes on Jennings and Allied Families" --- This Jennings family originiated in Ireland and the original American ancestor emigrated from that country sometime previous to the Rev. War and settled in the colony of Virginia. Meredith Jennings, father of J.A. Jennings was born in Virginia in 1780, and became a pioneer to Belleview, Ky, removing a short time thereafter to Caldwell County. He and his wife Tabitha Mustain (married on December 14, 1807 in Pittsylvania County, VA), went to Missouri where they spent their declining years with their children. Meredith Jennings died near Calhoun, Mo in 1870 at 90 years of age. J. A. Jennings was born in 1833 in Pittsylvania County, VA. When he was 12 years of age his parents moved to Belleview Ky. J. A. Jennings was known as "Dudley" Jennings. He died on April 2, 1911 in Princeton Ky. Other Notes Include: Meredith Jennings, Ensign, Virginia Militia, War of 1812. Act of 55-160-WT. 67157 June 21, 1856 Meredith Jennings, aged 69 years, resident of Madison County, Tennessee, filed application for Bounty Land under provisions of Act of 3 March 1855. He declared he was Ensign in the Co. commanded by Captain Nat. Terry in the Regt. of Va. Militia commanded by Col.

Hi Caren: Have you found anything in that book about an Americus Jennings b. 19 July 1821 d. 9 February 1886. We think his parents were Elijah Jennings & Susannah Dodd. and a nephew of Royal Jennings and Elizabeth Heard. I sure would appreciate you looking for me. Thanks, June

I took all of my "Miscellaneous Records" on Jennings and have put them all together. Please read the following records and see if you know where any of these Jennings go. I have an idea of some of them but want to be sure. Also, if you have any Miscellaneous Records that you don't know where the Jennings go, Please share because I know that the records belong to one of you. All of our heads are better than one! Caren MY BRICK WALL: 1. HENRY2 JENNINGS (UNKNOWN1)1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 died 1822. Notes for HENRY JENNINGS: Walt Blanton, Sara Jean Salter Jennings, and Anna Crawford have James' father as Henry. The only proof that James is Henry's son is below, however, since Henry mentions no heirs in his will, this is only curcumstantial evidence. I do notice that the bond below (Henry's will) was signed by Rhame family members. The Rhame family also witnessed James' (Henry's son) will. The Rhame family were the Jennings/Ginnings neighbors according to the law suit filed by James Jennings' heirs. Also, James Jennings signed Henry's will as Ginnings. Noah Jennings signed his name in documents as Ginnings until the 1860 Benton/Calhoun County, Alabama Census where he changed the spelling to Jennings. According to the book "Documented Notes on Jennings and Allied Families" by Doughtie, James Jennings administered Henry Jennings will. Henry Jennings died in Sumter County, South Carolina. His Estate was Administered on March 8, 1822 by James Jennings (James signed as "Ginnings"). The bond was signed by Ebenezer Rhame and Asa Rhame. The Witness was Redden McCoy. No heirs mentioned. (Probate Court Records) Henry Jennings had a grant of 400 acres in Camden District on October 16, 1784. (South Carolina Archives: Land Plats). He sold part of this land in 1816. In 1790, Henry was residing in Camden District, Clarendon County, with 2 males 16 and up, 4 males under 16, and 3 females in his household. Residing on either side of him was Henry Wise and Nathaniel Wise. July 16, 1795: Henry Jennings of Clarendon County, South Carolina a deed from Nathan Wise and John Wise of same place, tract of 100 acres. Recorded on May 12, 1821 (Sumter County, South Carolina: Deed Book F-641) Some slaveholders had made a practice of freeing their most vicious and troublesome slaves and those who were too old to make a living. A law of 1800 required that a master wishing to emancipate must signify his intention to the justice of the quorum, who should summon five freeholders. When they convened with the justice, the master had to bring before them his slave for examination. If the slave was found to be of good character and capable of supporting himself, the justice and freeholders signed a certificate of his fitness, and the master signed a deed of emancipation, both of which documents the master was to have recorded at the courthouse. Henry Jennings on March 30, 1807, freed Judy, Keziah, Peter and Epsey (Gregorie: History of Sumter County, page 132; Sumter County, South Carolina: Deed Book DD-291). Henry Jennings, Sr., Sumter County, South Carolina, a deed to Robert Bowman, of same place, signed February 7, 1816, tract of 200 acres, originally granted to Henry Jennins (spelled Jennins), September 5, 1785.

Ten years later, in 1734, another Act was passed. Among the Commissioners named in the last Act were Paul Jenys and Arthur Middleton (Arthur was in Bermuda for a time).

During the life of John Izard a large addition was made to "Cedar Grove" of continguous lands under the will of his cousin, Paul Jenys. Paul Diston who married Elizabeth Turgis, had on April 13, 1710, received a grant for 110 acres and on May 25, 1711, another grant for 196 acres to which seems to have been added 250 acres granted to Lady Elizabeth Blake October 6, 1704, and also 100 acres granted John Boddican March 1, 1681, which seems to have been acquired by Lady Rebecca Axtell and transferred to Thomas Diston. At Thomas Diston's death, the property passed to his son, Thomas Diston, Jr. The widow, Elizabeth Diston married her second cousin, Paul Jenys, and had by him a son, Paul Jenys. Either during the life of Thomas Diston or Paul Jenys, there seems to have been added to the property 200 acres granted to Andrew Percival 22 March, 1682, and the remainder of the GRANT TO JOHN CANTEY (is the same Cantey family mentioned in my Jenys,Jennings,Ginnings law suit over land?) less 298 acres sold to James Baker making in all 1,129 acres. Paul Jenys occupied the property until his death in 1752, when he devised the property in case of the death of his infant son, George Jenys, to his cousins, Walter, Thomas and John Izard and it finally vested in Walter and Elizabeth the daughter of the elder John, and on a settlement between them the land became the property of Walter and passed to his only son, John.
