Kathleen, don't worry about good intentions that go amiss. We all have them from time to time. Thank you for sharing the books and being willing to help others. My grandmother was Anna Belle Jennings Norris. Her great-great grandfather was David Jennings. David Jennings was raised in South Carolina and would have been born around 1760 or earlier. He had four children, James, Garrett, Sarah & Rebecca. The eldest, James Jennings was born in 1777. They lived in Kentucky before migrating to Tuscaloosa County, Alabama around 1817. I've shared all that to ask you could David Jennings and parents or other relatives have come from the New England Jennings you mentioned in James Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England"? "There are quite a few books available for searching at this website and in James Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England", there is a whole page on the Jennings family." Have you read that information that you spoke of? If so, does it give any indication that there could have been a son named David, or anyone of that family who went to SC in that era? Are there any David, James, Garretts mentioned? Do I need to purchase the book? I hate to burden you with so many questions but I'd really appreciate your help. God bless, Sandy Norris Kizziah [email protected]
