Hi, all,

Just subscribing briefly to this list to search for descendants of William
JENNINGS, who d. 1856 in Ashe Co. I believe he was recorded in
both Grayson Co., VA and in NC. He had at least a son named
Thornton JENNINGS who patented land there in 1838 & 1858.
William named his son-in-law, John CARSON in his will. Either William's
sons or grandsons, William [b. 1826], Martin [b. 1829], and John [b. 1834]
were recorded in Alleghany Co. in 1860. In 1870, Martin was recorded in
Cherry Hill Twp., Alleghany Co., apparently not far from John JENNINGS,
and his apparently widowed sister-in-law was living next door to him:

47. Jennings, Cynthia 49 Keeps House
Mary 23 At Home
Johnson 21 At Home
Smith, Isaac 15 Dom. Servant VA
---
48. Jennings, Martin 40 Farmer NC
Frances 36 Keeps House
Martha 18 At Home
Calvin 17 At Home
Susan 14
William 12
Jane 10
Mary 8
Andrew 4
Ellen 2 [Rosa Ellen Jennings]
Mildridge 1


Sometime after that, Martin moved to Surry Co., where he d. 1915,
and his wife in 1892. They are both buried in Zephyr Baptist Community
Cemetery. The daughter, Martha Jennings, apparently never married?
She is buried in the same cemetery.
My husband's ancestor was Ellen (Rosa Ellen), who married, as his
second wife, Dabner Caldwell SMITH. What happened to the rest of
Martin and Frances' children?

Where are John JENNINGS and William JENNINGS descendants?

Please reply directly to me at the address below, rather than posting
to the list.

Thanks!

Pam
