Hello Dixie, I checked the 1840 census microfilm page you requested. I saw no Lewis JENNINGS there. I then checked the 1840 Fed. Census Index. Which showed, I think, 4 Lewis JENNINGS, I failed to write down 2 of these. Here is what I have for the 2 I did copy: 1840 Federal Census Index: JENNINGS, Lewis Page 304, CTY = Cos, Twp. = Pla. The best I can figger is that this means the village of Plainfield in Coshocton County, Ohio. Holmes Co. is on the north border of Coshocton Co. The town of Plainfield is in Linton Twp., which is on the SE corner of Coshocton Co. Linton Twp. is bordered to the south and east by Guernsey Co. JENNINGS, Lewis N. Page 275, CTY = Ash, Twp. = Gen. This is probably Ashland County (I'm not sure).

The 1840 Census for Holmes County, Walnut Creek Twp, page 296 supposedly has an entry for a LEWIS JENNINGS. If someone has access to this census, would you let me know what the entry shows?
