He took up his residence in Philadelphia, where, in 1690-93, he was justice of the quorum and judge of the county court. He died in 1708 in Burlington, N. J. History of the United States by George Bancroft (6 Volumes) Volume 2 Part 3 Colonization of the West and of Georgia Chapter 2 The Middle States After the Revolution In New Jersey there were the same demands for money, and a still more wary refusal; representatives, elected in 1704 by a majority of votes, were excluded by the governor; one assembly after another was angrily dissolved. At last necessity compelled a third assembly, and among its members were Samuel Jennings and Lewis Morris. The latter was of a liberal mind and intrepid, yet having no fixed system; the former, elected speaker of the assembly, was a true Quaker, of a hasty yet benevolent temper, faithful in his affectious, "stiff and impracticable in politics." These are they whom Lord Cornbury describes "as capable of anything but good;" whom Quarry and other subservient counsellors accuse as "turbulent and disloyal," "encouraging the governments in America to throw off the royal prerogative, declaring openly that the royal instructions bind no further than they are warranted by law." The assembly, according to the usage of that day, in April, 1707, wait on the governor with! their remonstrance. The Quaker speaker reads it for them most audibly. It accuses Cornbury of accepting bribes; it deals sharply with "his new methods of government," his "encroachment" on the popular liberties by "assuming a negative voice to the freeholders' election of their representative;" "they have neither heads, hearts, nor souls, that are not forward with their utmost power lawfully to redress the miseries of their country." "Stop!" exclaimed Cornbury, as the undaunted Quaker delivered the remonstrance; and Jennings meekly and distinctly repeated it, with greater emphasis than before. Cornbury attempted to retort, charging the Quakers with disloyalty and faction; they answered, in the words of Nehemiah to Sanballat: "There is no such thing done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart." And they left, for the instruction of future governors, this weighty truth: "To engage the affections of the people, no artifice is needful but to let them be unm! olested in the enjoyment of what belongs to them of right."

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.

Among the laborers at the Department of the Interior is an intelligent colored man, Paul Jennings, who was born a slave on President Madisons estate in Montpelier, Va., in 1799. His reputed father was Benj. Jennings, an English trader there; his mother, a slave of Mr. Madison, and the granddaughter of an Indian. Paul was "body servant" of Mr. Madison, till his death, and afterwards of Daniel Webster, having purchased his freedom of Mrs. Madison. His character for sobriety, truth, and fidelity, is unquestioned; and he was a daily witness of interesting events, I have thought his recollections were worth writing down in almost his own language.

Somerville Past and Present. Samuels and Kimball. Boston. 1897. Page 25 "did in the summer of anno 1628, undertake a journey from Salem, and travelled the woods above twelve miles to the westward, and lighted of a place situated and lying on the north side of Charles river, full of Indians called Aberginians," ... "and upon surveying, they found it was a neck of land, generally full of stately timber, as was the main, and the land lying on the east side of the river, called Mystick river." Here on the peninsula they settled and built, and others came soon after. In 1629, "it was jointly agreed and concluded, that this place on the north side of Charles river, by the natives called Mishawum, shall henceforth, from the name of the river, be called Charlestown"; and in this connection it may be of interest to recall that the river was named by Captain John Smith, in 1614, after H. R. H. Charles, Prince of Wales, afterwards Charles I, who, Smith says, "did change the barbarous names of their principall Harbours and habitations, for such English, that ! posterity may say King Charles was their Godfather." Among the first of the Charlestown settlers to locate on Somerville territory were John Woolrich, Captain(???)Norton, Edward Gibones, Mr. William Jennings and John Wignall; followed a little later by Richard Palsgrave, Edward Jones and others, and by the Governor, John Winthrop, in 1631.

Caren Below is Miscellaneous Records for Various Henry Jennings: Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol. 2 Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy: Philadelphia Salem County, New Jersey page 13 When George Fox traveled in 1672 through what is now New Jersey he found a few New England and New York Quakers along the northern coast, at Middletown and Shrewsbury, where a monthly meeting existed before 1670. But West Jersey and Pennsylvania were a red man's wilderness, with only a few Swedes and Dutchmen living along the Delaware. Within a decade, however, the country was opened to settlement by the English, and Quakers established themselves on the river from Salem to Burlington on the Jersey side, and from Chester to the falls in Pennsylvania. The founder of the Salem colony was John Fenwick, Northumberland born, who had served in Cromwell's army before his conversion to Quakerism. With another Quaker, Edward Byllynge, he purchased West Jersey from Lord Berkeley, Fenwick receiving as his share one tenth, the present Salem and Cumberland counties. In 1675 he and a group of settlers sailed for New Jersey in the ship Griffin, and founded their colony on the Assamhocking (n! ow Salem) River. The Record of Births and Deaths of Salem Monthly Meeting, which was established on the last day of fifth month, 1676, indicates that among the Quaker companions of Fenwick on the Griffin were John Smith, his wife Martha and their four children; Isaac Smart; Edward Wade, his wife Prudence, and their servant-men, Nathaniel Champnes, Sr., Nathaniel Champnes, Jr., Joseph Ware, John Burton and Francis Smithey; Samuel Wade and Samuel Nicholson. Other Friends whose names appeared in the minutes during the first years were Richard Guy, Edward Champnes, Robert Wade, Richard Noble, Roger Huckings, George Deacon, John Edridge and Richard Gibbs. These first Quakers were followed by Christopher White, his wife, Esther, and her son, and by Henry Jennings, his wife, Margret, and servant, Martha Beckit, who arrived on the ship Kent in sixth month, 1677; George Deacon, another Friend, came over on the Willing Mind in eleventh month; and in twelfth month the Mary of Dublin brou! ght John and Andrew Thompson from Ireland, each with his wife and children; and Robert Fairbanks, his wife, and daughter, Elizabeth, and son-in-law, Henry Stubbings. John Thompson had a serving man, William Hall. Edward Bradway, who came with his wife and two children on an unnamed ship in seventh month, 1677, had three men servants, William Groome, Francis Burkell and John Alinn.

Henry Jennings Nationality: British Theatre of Operation: Atlantic Active: 1715- 1717 Jennings hunted Spanish and French merchantmen during the War of the Spanish Succession ( 1702- 1713 ). The governor of Havana sent a salvage crew to southeastern Florida to recover the cargo of silver that was carried by a Spanish treasure fleet that perished in a hurricane in July 1715. Jennings together with 3 small ships and about 300 men left Jamaica and fell upon the salvagers. They drove off about 60 soldiers and captured about 350,000 pesos. Returning to Jamaica, the pirates seized a Spanish ship loaded with rich cargo and 60,000 pesos. The governor of Jamaica worried about reprisals from the government warned Jennings about his activities. Jennings left Jamaica and found a new base of operations at New Providence Island in the Bahamas. In 1717, the English government offered a pardon which Jennings accepted, surrendering at Bermuda. Margaret Skinner married Jesse Jennings and they were from Pa. (The Skinner family was also in Bermuda and a Henry Skinner signed my Henry Jennings' will)
