Dear Deloris, The Jennings family I come from farmed in Claremont, Richland, IL, from 1856 to some unknown time in the present, w. one member at least still living there in 1954. The original Richland Jennings in my line was William M. Jennings with wife, Eliza Tungate Jennings. Lots of sons: Js. Cain, Wm.Riley, George, Lawrence, John W. and two dau. that I know of, Martha & Eliza (2.). There was also an Arthur C. Jennings (various spellings) there at the same time and a Wm.Jennings m. to a Martha Tucker Jennings. In Richland Co. Any links? I am not connected to the other two families, as far as I know. My g grandmother was Eliza (2.)

Hi again list I would like to post again, about my Jennings. Does anyone show any Jennings in Surrey County in the mid 1600's? Appreciate any help. Regards Bonnie in Idaho

To Virginia and others a big thank you for the quick service on the look-up of Griffin M. Jennings! I really appreciate it! But now am more confused than ever as this could not possibly be my Griffin M. as he would have been only 4 yrs old at time of marriage. Now I will have to find this new Griffin M. and determine if he's related to mine! Always a challenge .. thanks again. Dorothy

William, Thank you for your response. I would be interested in hearing more about your Samuel and William Jennings. The (3rd) g-grandfather--James Jennings who wrote the letter was orphaned while still a child. He was b. in Culpeper Co., VA in 1780 and d. in St. Louis, MO 1855. In his mother's will, he was left a colt so that he would be assured transportation to school. I believe his father--Augustine/Augustin/Augustus Jennings may have been a member of the Culpeper minutemen and possibly died at around the time of the Revolution. His mother--Rachel's will was probated in Madison Co., VA in 1799, leaving the following heirs: son-James Jennings (letter writer), dau.- Paully/Polly Jennings. Also listed as heirs: "Mens. her three sons, Richard Waugh, John Jennings, and Wm. Jennings" Family lore says that Augustine and Rachel Jennings were the original immigrants from England, but have no proof. James Jennings m. (1) Ann (?) son-James II (2) Ann Bradley Montague 1809, Cartersville, Cumberland Co., VA. They had seven children, all born in Cartersville: Robt. Mickelborough Jennings b. 1815 William Henry Jennings b.1817 Mary Jane Jennings Switzer b. 1821 Edward S. Jennings 1824-1846 Martha Eliza Jennings Mead b. 1827 John Camden Jennings b. 1829 Ann Marie Jennings b. 1831 Maybe, if someone in VA has access, they would be willing to do a lookup for me of Rachel Jennings will--Madison Co., VA: W-Bk 1-226. Please write back and tell me about your Jennings family in VA.

The recipient is William Parks, brother of James Parks--nephew of James Jennings, who died after leaving St. Louis for New Orleans. ************************************** Saint Louis Nov 26 1850 Dear William, Your esteemed favor of the 5th instant recvd. Some days since the informing me of the death of your lamented brother James who died 11 mile below New Orleans 27 Sept. I fully sympathize with you & your family as a joint relative, James had many valuable qualities, a sound mind and an enlarged heart & full of the milk of human kindness. I was sorry when I heard he had left this country for the South, for had he remained in St. Louis I think he could have done well. At the time he left here, I think the city numbered about 10,000 and now about ninety thousand. Repsecting the Jennings family, I have received two letters fron Mr. William Chapman, Jennings relative to two conventions the family has had about the forty millions of dollars left by Wm. Jennings of England in 1798. His letters reached me in harvest when I was too busy to give my attention to so long a document; but I intend shortly to answer them fully and owe him an apology for seeming neglect, but when three score and ten arrive, these seeming neglects must be overlooked. I have had the stress of business on my hands for years past. One was a mercantile business to close up in VA of 29 years continuance, another of some importance in the South and my plantation business will shew anyone that I have .............. share of business on my hands for many years, nevertheless I have made it a duty to reply sooner or later. You ask me if I can inform you how we are related to Berryman Jennings of Madison Co. & Augustin Jennings of Fauquier County--in reply to that question I can only say that I was left an orphan at so very young that I can hardly recollect anything about my parents; particularly my Father; I have no recollection of any record being given to me of the family after the death of my mother. After some few years impressions were made on my mind that my Father Augustin Jennings was first cousin to Augustine Jennings of Fauquier, Capt. Lewis Jennings & Berryman Jennings. I was acquainted with & I believe we all thought we were connected, but how I believe we never made it out; I suppose if Family had ever supposed that such a large sum of money would ever have been left in the situation of Wm. Jennings Estate, they would all have kept better registry of the families. I have seen some of the papers sent to my son Wm. Jennings and from what I see I have little to or no doubt that the Jennings family in the United States are related to Wm. Jennings of England who died there in 1798. but the length of time and the difficulty of proving everything the law requires will make greatly against our interests. I have now answered your inqueries; I will make a few myself. Is your mother now living & if living, what is her age? I know the family to be long life. How many children are there of you all, & how many married? Your brother James wrote me sometime ago when he first settled in the state of Miss. and there.......so often hard made moving in the state of Louisiana, but he feared he would lose some property by suit in the plains...................; likely you had better write to the post master of that plain the situation of his property there; in his last letter to me he states he expects to go to California in some short time, and I do expect when he was taken sick about New Orleans he was then fixing to go there, had not he been taken sick I think he would have written me before he started for Sanfrancisco. I have no doubt you have written to the friend of James whose house he died at all about his situation, his tools & other things can be shipped from New Orleans to Richmond where you can get them with ease. That friend wrote me of the death of James. Do when you see.........give him my best respects & accept for yourself & family my kindest regards. Yours truly, James Jennings

Does anyone having the Family Tree Maker program happen to have the FTM CD004 Marriage Index MD NC VA 1624-1915 and would be willing to look-up Griffin M. Jennings for me? I have the FTM program and the 8 discs that came with it but naturally, CD004 is not one of them. Your help would be greatly appreciated and I'm happy to share any Jennings info I may have that connects to yours beginning with Robert Jennings 1525 in Eng and on to Thomas and Sarah Carter Jennings arriving in the colonies in 1754 to my second great grandparents, John and Lucy Duval Jennings, to great grandfather George David Washington Jennings and on to grandfather, Griffin Marks Jennings.

James, thank you so much for this letter. I have been struggling for some time to find my Jennings ancestors in Goochland, Orange, and other Central Virginia counties. and in so doing have made notes about most of the others I have stumbled across, holding them until something clicked. Berryman and Augustin were two of them. This information helps to pull them a little closer to the rest of the "family". I appreciate your generosity. By the way, my John James Jennings' father is William Carter Jennings (born ca. 1873) and his father is W. W. Jennings, all born in a 100 mile radius of Richmond. I'm having such a time with W.W. (probably another William) Mary

To Mary and everyone else on the list, My error. The deceased nephew's name was James Parks, not John. James Park's brother-- William Parks is the letter recipient. The letter writer is a (3rd) great-grandfather-- James Jennings, born in Culpeper Co, VA in 1780. James Jennings moved to St. Louis, MO in 1839.
