Hi, Garius - Thanks for the information on your ancestor in the Revolution!! What line of Jennings did he come from? One thing I find of great interest is how mobile all these families were during the settling of our country. Most of the families I'm tracing are from Virginia, but at least two of them have a mention of Maryland in their early roots. There is a strong Jennings lines from Connecticut. Does anyone know how/if this family moved across the country? What routes did other Jennings families take?
