My William Jennings was born in Grainger County abt. 1865. He was the father of my gmother and after the 1880 census I have not been able to trace him. I do not think he was married to my gmother's mother. She told the family William was known for being away for days or weeks trying to find work. I dont know if your William is a connection. I need more information. Janice Tsweetjal@aol.com
