Whether Jennings is the English Zanini or whether Gideon Jennings was an Englishman who assumed the name of Zanini and changed it back to the English Jennings upon returning to live among English people, or whether, he changed the name to Jennings because he fancied the same, is only a matter of conjecture. When Gideon Jennings died in 1750, the Rev. John Giessendanner, Episcopal Minister at Orangeburg made the following entry in the Church Register: "On Saturday, March 30th was entered in the Churchyard of Orangeburg the body of Gideon Jennings, an old protestant Italian liver in this Township these 14 years past, who died the day before. His age unknown." When his widow died in 1756, Rev. Giessendanner made the following entry in the Church Register: "On Friday, September 17th died and on Saturday, September 18th was entered in the Church-yard of Orangeburgh the Body of Ursula, widow of Gideon Zanini alias Jennings late of Orangeburgh, deceased, aged sixty-seven years." The Rev. John Giessendanner, in his Church Register mentions three children of Gideon and Ursula Jennings as follows: 1) John Jennings (this John married Barbara Hasfort, widow) Barbara's will mentions a daughter, Ann Linder. 2) Phillip Jennings (this Phillip married Elizabeth Hasford, widow) (The above John and Phillip are in the probate records in Charleston, South Carolina and indicate John Jennings signed deed (of land in Orangeburg) to Phillip Jennings; also Deed of Gift of a negro girl from John Jennings to his wife, Barbara.)
