Oh my, Katherine, Thank you, thank you!!! You have confirmed what I believed and provided me with more info on my Jennings line than I had. Wow, I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate you taking time and being so generous to share this with me. Can you tell me what your source was? William Marion Jennings is my maternal Great-grandfather. I was able to get his death certificate and the name of his mother looked like Hamilton and the first name is more of a guess ....perhaps Nannie.......very diff to read the penmanship. She was b. in Bedford Co. and married Edmond Jennings, b. 1818. I went to visit my maternal great-aunt and great-uncle, J. P. Jennings and Exie King Jennings back in 1987 and they took me over to Willow Mount. Uncle J. P. told me that W. M. Jennings had originally been buried on the family farm in the orchard at his request, but then the farm was sold and the new owners wanted him moved so he was taken to Willow Mount. They had a daughter, Ruth, but she re-married and I don't know her last name or where she lives. If anyone on the list can add to anything, I would be most grateful. Kathryn, thank you so much. Carol I have the following information but it is not my direct line. Hopefully someone else on the list will be able to correct me if I state something incorrectly or be able to give more info. Fannie A. Jennings (March 20, 1863-December 01, 1944) is the daughter of Edmond W. Jennings (February 11, 1818 - November 20, 1912). She married first, on August 05, 1882 in Bedford County, W. Don Madison (September 07, 1852 - April 15, 1887). He is buried in Madison Cemetery in Bedford County. He was the son of Levi Madison and Nancy J. Collier (August 11, 1829-June 22, 1893). Nancy is also buried in Madison Cemetery. Fannie and Don had two children: Vera Don Madison and Nanie Lee Madison. Fannie married second, David S. Curle (June 25, 1841-July 07, 1903) on March 30, 1896 in Bedford County. They are both buried in the Willow Mount Cemetery in Shelbyville. Edmond W. Jennings was the son of Robert Cross Jennings (July 30, 1789 NC - September 02, 1875) and Mary Word (March 11, 1788 VA - March 30, 1827). Robert is buried in the Reeves-Wheeler Cemetery in Bedford County. In addition to Fannie, Edmond also had the following children: William Marion Jennings (May 30, 1857-March 12, 1924) Wade H. Jennings (born Abt. 1859) Samuel H. Jennings (born Abt. 1864) Sallie Jennings (born Abt. 1868) I don't have a mother listed for the 5 children of Edmond but do have that he also married Elizabeth G. Couch (October 18, 1822 - January 18, 1846 buried in Couch-Patton Cemetery, Bedford County). The COUCH link is where my interest comes in. Hope this helps, Kathryn <snip> Does anyone have any information on Fannie Curle, mentioned in a previous posting? I believe she is my great-great aunt. Thanks, Carol <snip>

THIS MAY BE OF HELP. ELIZABETH JENNINGS WAS MARRIED TO CHRISTOPHER SHOFNER AND LIVED IN LINCOLN CO. NEAR BEDFORD CO. LINE. I DO NOT KNOW THE PARENTS NAMES AT THIS TIME BUT SHE WAS BORN 1 JAN 1792 AND DIED 9 DEC 1845 IN LINCOLN CO.
