His children by his first wife had moved to Missouri by 1833. John ( X - signed with a Mark ) Jennings signed his will on December 4, 1833 probated in the April Term, 1834: His heirs are listed below: Wife: Rachel, "Tract of land I now live on South side of Big Branch, and 1 negro, Sam, 1 negro Clara; all my stock and c" Son: Thomas Jackson Jennings, "$350.00, at my death" Daughter: Ann Eliza Jennings, "1negro Maria when she should marry or become of age".

Notes for THOMAS JACKSON JENNINGS: Thomas Jackson Jennings in 1846, sold land owned by John Jennings which was converted to the widow, Rachel Jennings, and to which land John Jennings held title by deed from Jacob Jennings (Madison County Kentucky Deed Book 3-159). It is probable Jacob Jennings conveyed land in Madison County, Kentucky to his brother, John Jennings on whose death in 1834, the land went t John's widow, Rachel, and from her passsed to her son, Thomas Jackson Jennings who sold the land in 1846. Thomas Jackson Jennings went to Cook County, Texas and was living in 1880. viii. ANN ELIZABETH JENNINGS3. ix. PEGGY JANE JENNINGS3, m. JOHN C. YOUNG3, 1824, Madison County, Kentucky. x.

He married (1) MARY CAMPBELL5 1795 in Madison County, Kentucky. He married (2) HANNAH WORD5,6 December 18, 1818 in Wilson County, Tennessee. Notes for ROBERT JENNINGS, JR.: This Robert Jennings has also been shown to have married a Hannah Word on December 18, 1818 in Wilson County, Tennessee. I wonder if this is the correct Robert that married Hannah or is she the wife of Robert son of Jacob Jennings. This Robert would have been his uncle. Since the Phillips Family History page 166 by Harry Phillips shows that this Robert was married to Hannah Word, however, I still think that the Robert that married Hannah Word could possibly be the nephew of the above Robert. Child of ROBERT JENNINGS and HANNAH WORD is: i. NANCY3 JENNINGS7,7, m. WILLIAM DILLARD GRANDSTAFF8,9, November 30, 1853; b. 1829; d. 1903.
