I have trying to go through my "stacks" of genealogy piles and getting it organized in some way...I know that we all have this problem <grin>. I took all of my "Miscellaneous Records" on Jennings and have put them all together. Please read the following records and see if you know where any of these Jennings go. I have an idea of some of them but want to be sure. Also, if you have any Miscellaneous Records that you don't know where the Jennings go, Please share because I know that the records belong to one of you. All of our heads are better than one! Caren Below is Miscellaneous Records for Various Henry Jennings: Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol. 2 Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy: Philadelphia Salem County, New Jersey page 13 When George Fox traveled in 1672 through what is now New Jersey he found a few New England and New York Quakers along the northern coast, at Middletown and Shrewsbury, where a monthly meeting existed before 1670. But West Jersey and Pennsylvania were a red man's wilderness, with only a few Swedes and Dutchmen living along the Delaware. Within a decade, however, the country was opened to settlement by the English, and Quakers established themselves on the river from Salem to Burlington on the Jersey side, and from Chester to the falls in Pennsylvania. The founder of the Salem colony was John Fenwick, Northumberland born, who had served in Cromwell's army before his conversion to Quakerism. With another Quaker, Edward Byllynge, he purchased West Jersey from Lord Berkeley, Fenwick receiving as his share one tenth, the present Salem and Cumberland counties. In 1675 he and a group of settlers sailed for New Jersey in the ship Griffin, and founded their colony on the Assamhocking (n! ow Salem) River. The Record of Births and Deaths of Salem Monthly Meeting, which was established on the last day of fifth month, 1676, indicates that among the Quaker companions of Fenwick on the Griffin were John Smith, his wife Martha and their four children; Isaac Smart; Edward Wade, his wife Prudence, and their servant-men, Nathaniel Champnes, Sr., Nathaniel Champnes, Jr., Joseph Ware, John Burton and Francis Smithey; Samuel Wade and Samuel Nicholson. Other Friends whose names appeared in the minutes during the first years were Richard Guy, Edward Champnes, Robert Wade, Richard Noble, Roger Huckings, George Deacon, John Edridge and Richard Gibbs. These first Quakers were followed by Christopher White, his wife, Esther, and her son, and by Henry Jennings, his wife, Margret, and servant, Martha Beckit, who arrived on the ship Kent in sixth month, 1677; George Deacon, another Friend, came over on the Willing Mind in eleventh month; and in twelfth month the Mary of Dublin brou! ght John and Andrew Thompson from Ireland, each with his wife and children; and Robert Fairbanks, his wife, and daughter, Elizabeth, and son-in-law, Henry Stubbings. John Thompson had a serving man, William Hall. Edward Bradway, who came with his wife and two children on an unnamed ship in seventh month, 1677, had three men servants, William Groome, Francis Burkell and John Alinn.

Henry Jennings Nationality: British Theatre of Operation: Atlantic Active: 1715- 1717 Jennings hunted Spanish and French merchantmen during the War of the Spanish Succession ( 1702- 1713 ). The governor of Havana sent a salvage crew to southeastern Florida to recover the cargo of silver that was carried by a Spanish treasure fleet that perished in a hurricane in July 1715. Jennings together with 3 small ships and about 300 men left Jamaica and fell upon the salvagers. They drove off about 60 soldiers and captured about 350,000 pesos. Returning to Jamaica, the pirates seized a Spanish ship loaded with rich cargo and 60,000 pesos. The governor of Jamaica worried about reprisals from the government warned Jennings about his activities. Jennings left Jamaica and found a new base of operations at New Providence Island in the Bahamas. In 1717, the English government offered a pardon which Jennings accepted, surrendering at Bermuda. Margaret Skinner married Jesse Jennings and they were from Pa. (The Skinner family was also in Bermuda and a Henry Skinner signed my Henry Jennings' will)
