Hello List Members: I am trying to find a connection between Nathan, Jemima and Manassa Jennings whom I believe are siblings. Nathan is my gr. gr. grandfather. He was born abt. 1815 in Ohio and lived his early years in Jefferson Co. OH. In 1850 he lived in Richland Co. OH, 1860 & 1870 - Ashland Co., OH then in 1880 in Wayne County OH. I can find no information on him after the 1880 Census. He 1st married Rachel Vail & had 3 children. She died in 1846. He then married Rebecca Burk(e) July 6, 1847 and had several more children. Jemima was born in OH and married James Gladden in Jefferson Co.OH. They moved in 1826 to Ashland Co. where they lived out their years. Jemima died about 1883 or 1887. Manassa was born in OH and married Phoebe Palmer in Jefferson Co. OH in the late 1830's. The 1840 Census has them in Jefferson Co. OH. For a time they lived in VA. The 1880 census has them in Athens Co. OH. About 4 of their daughters are living with Manassa ranging in age from early 30's to mid 20's. Nathan is my brick wall. I cannot find any record of parents or siblings and cannot find where or when he died. My feeling is that Nathan, Jemima and Manassa are siblings. They are close in age, lived in Jefferson Co. and, according to the 1880 Census, all their parents where born in NJ. I realize this is not, by any means, absolute proof of their relationship, but is does seem pretty coincidental and worth exploring. I would be happy to correspond with anyone who has information on the persons listed above or share information that I have. Regards, Michele Skolmutch Big Prairie, OH
