I think you are basically right. Can't figure out which Jennings she might have married. Augustine's sons were about 20 years younger than Ann. Ancestry.com has William Jennings born 1744, md. to Elizabeth Withers and died 1814. Per Augustine's will he had a son named Benjamin but I have no other info on him. So, back to trying to figure out more about James McCormick. Some list a son named John born 1740 with wife Elizabeth Morgan. If the 1740 birth date is correct, it would seem iffy because James was supposedly born 1721. Also, James died a young age...about 38. Wonder if he died from unnatural causes e.g. killed by Indians?
