Unusual names for several children: Zetta and Squire Tilson who > was > my GGF. > > Susan Carey > Dear Susan, I show that Attica, Indiana is located in Fountain County in Indiana and was created in 1825 and named for Major James FOUNTAIN, killed at the Battle of Maumee in 1790 with the County Seat of Covington and the largest city is Attica. And Vermillion County, Indiana is located immediately next to Fountain County, and may have even been part of Fountain, (or vice versa,) at the time of your ancestors being there. Named for a river, the Vermillion, and organized in 1824, (4 years before the birth of your Solomon JENNINGS,) County Seat: Newport. Newport, Vermillion County, Indiana is the city where siblings of a man named Solomon JENNINGS was born between 1820 - 1825 in Columbiana, Ohio, (or so it is shown in this information,) and that I believe is your Solomon JENNINGS and either your information about his birth place or this researcher's information about his birth place is incorrect. Some of his older siblings are shown as being born in Columbiana, Ohio and his younger siblings are shown being born in various parts of Indiana with the 2 of them specifically being shown as having been born in Newport, Vermillion, Indiana. He is shown as the son of: Simeon JENNINGS: ......born: bet. 1780-1790 in Pennsylvania ......died: bet. 1835-1840 in Vermillion County, Indiana ......md: Nancy WATKINS ............born: bet. 1790-1800 in New Jersey or Pennsylvania ............died: April 19, 1844 in Vermillion County, Ohio ............md: 19 Mar 1812 in Columbiana County, Ohio ............mother: Mary Ann ? ....................born: 1759 ....................died: 1853 ....................mother: ?? ....................father: ?? ............father: James WATKINS, Sr. ....................born: 1755 ....................died: ?? ....................mother: ?? ....................father: ? WATKINS Now, I cannot vouch for the complete accuracy of this information but did find what I hope will be correct and useful information in your continuing search for your ancestry. And, in addition, you mentioned the name of Squire JENNINGS being a possibility of an ancestor that shows up among the descendants of Solomon JENNINGS. Why don't you send a specific email to the JENNINGS list with the Subject line reading Squire JENNINGS and ask those individuals discussing Squire JENNINGS awhile back if they might send you information. In addition you might want to send another message specifically asking for contact with the descendants of Edward Salley JENNINGS, Jr. who went into either Pennsylvania or Ohio, I believe, unless my mind is playing tricks on me. It seems that one of the ladies that I communicate with regarding my 5th great grandfather, paternal, Edward Salley JENNINGS, Sr., (and her name is Dixie,) had someone in her family group that was named Squire JENNINGS but I lost some of my files in a computer crash awhile back and can't pull that up right at the moment but will search around and see what I can find. But I wanted to send this over first. Edward Salley JENNINGS, Sr., born: 1720 in Richmond Co., VA, was the son of Ann KELLY and Wm. JENNINGS, Jr., son of Mary WILLOUGHBY, (we believe,) and Wm. JENNINGS, Sr., son of Margaret PAYNE, (dau of John PAYNE, immigrant, and we believe his wife was Margrett/Margaret ROBINSON?, (dau of Richard ROBINSON, immigrant,) (2nd husb: was Christopher EDRINGTON, Sr.,) and her 1st husb: John JENNINGS, immigrant.) There are many of us that have more information on that if this should turn out to be your line but check out that Squire JENNINGS connection and the descendants of Edward Salley JENNINGS, Sr. that went into Ohio, PA or maybe IN. Okay, now back to the information that I found which you will find below with a url address for the website as well as a link to click on that will take you there. Good luck. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett ****** See the following information which gives the website that this information came from as well as the email address to contact this individual who may have more information regarding this family that, at first glance, definitely appears to be yours. <A HREF="http://www.familyorigins.com/users/g/i/f/Charlotte-K-Gifford/FAMO1-0001/d2630.htm#P7113">EIGHTH GENERATION</A> http://www.familyorigins.com/users/g/i/f/Charlotte-K-Gifford/FAMO1-0001/d2629. htm SEVENTH GENERATION 124. * Simeon JENNINGS (7) was born between 1780 and 1790 in Pennsylvania.
