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!

Somerville Past and Present. Samuels and Kimball. Boston. 1897. Page 25 "did in the summer of anno 1628, undertake a journey from Salem, and travelled the woods above twelve miles to the westward, and lighted of a place situated and lying on the north side of Charles river, full of Indians called Aberginians," ... "and upon surveying, they found it was a neck of land, generally full of stately timber, as was the main, and the land lying on the east side of the river, called Mystick river." Here on the peninsula they settled and built, and others came soon after. In 1629, "it was jointly agreed and concluded, that this place on the north side of Charles river, by the natives called Mishawum, shall henceforth, from the name of the river, be called Charlestown"; and in this connection it may be of interest to recall that the river was named by Captain John Smith, in 1614, after H. R. H. Charles, Prince of Wales, afterwards Charles I, who, Smith says, "did change the barbarous names of their principall Harbours and habitations, for such English, that ! posterity may say King Charles was their Godfather." Among the first of the Charlestown settlers to locate on Somerville territory were John Woolrich, Captain(???)Norton, Edward Gibones, Mr. William Jennings and John Wignall; followed a little later by Richard Palsgrave, Edward Jones and others, and by the Governor, John Winthrop, in 1631.
