Hello to all: I have been searching for the parents of Gideon Jennings (1767 - 1843) -- supposedly Benjamin Jennings and Rebecca ??. The earliest documentation I have been able to find: Widen is on the first tax record of Tuscarawas County in Ohio. We all know he did not "fly" there. He purchased his land with cash. Oral history and Beers History of Miami County has him coming from Rockingham County, VA. The Capt. Gideon Jennings of Orangeburg, SC. was the Revolutionary soldier. There is much documentation of his family. My fourth great grandfather named his children with similar names to those of John Jennings of VA. This mystery has been my huge brick wall. Perhaps someone on this list can solve it. Thank you. Anne (annetp@aol.com)
