I'm trying to connect Huldah to a Frank Jennings a Speaker at the college in Ottawa KS. My grandmother wrote on the back of the newspaper clipping that Frank Jennings was a cousin she new when she was young. I traced Franks genealogy hoping to link him to Huldah but so far I can find the connecting piece. I think he might have been a second cousin or first cousin once removed. Huldah was born in conneticut but I have had no luck finding her parents. Daniel s parents are Isaac Holeman and Nancy Cleghorn the rest of the genealogy is in much debate on ancestry. Billie Brendel
