Does anyone have a WILLIAM WALKER JENNINGS in database? This is a REAL left field attempt. My great-great grandmother, Johannah Jennings was born 30 Dec 1792 (maybe in Otsego Co., NY) but more probably eastern NY or NJ or PA -- She married 5 Oct 1815 to Benjamin Kingsbury in Cherry Valley, Otsego Co, NY....Their firstborn child was born in 1818 and named WILLIAM WALKER --- There are no immediately given names on the Kingsbury side of family, and I suspect this WILLIAM WALKER is named after her JENNINGS side of family.

Hello, From a couple of wills of Pasquotank Co NC, i can see that William Jennings (dated 1713) names wife Mary (b. 1671). Mary's will (dated 1725) names her son John Relf and son-in-law, John Norton (husband of dau. Margaret_ ) (i don't know if she is a Jennings or a Relf) From looking at World Connect files, I see others have stated that this mary was married to Thomas Relfe before, and that she is the daughter of John Jennings b. 1640/50 and Dorothy. Also World Connect has this same Mary married to a Thomas Keile before she was married to Relf. She was pretty busy. Or was it not the same Mary in all these relationships. If anyone on the list has any sources that would back up this relationship, or have knowledge of Margaret, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, diane
