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 I know someone that is really searching for a Fleming/Jennings family connection. Do you have any info on this connection? Source: Brooke Payne: The Paynes of Virginia John Payne Sr. was born in 1615 in England. He died in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia, in 1690 and is buried at "Red House" (Cedar Hill) now in Westmoreland County, Virginia. His grave is not marked, but a bronze tablet indicates the approximate location thereof. The earliest extant, well identified record of him is dated 1653, in Lancaster county, when he bought from Francis Hobbes of Isle of Wight County, Virginia 940 acres on Peptick Creek, North side of Rappahannock River in that region of Lancaster County then known as Rappahannock, which in 1656 was formed into Rappahannock County. John Payne, Sr. collected tithes from such men in old Rappahannock County as John Jennings, Thomas Erwin, Thomas Wright, Major John Weir, Thomas Hawkins, Thomas Lucas, and Alexander Fleming. *Note: The above Payne family is intermarried with the Jennings family of Rappahannock County, VA.
