Shari,

How about this marriage record?

Thomas TORR, baker, & Jane HILL, spinster, both of Augusta.
Bondsman Frederick Balfour of Augusta, joiner, and John
Gernash of Brockville, joiner. 16 Nov. 1829 at Brockville.
[Ontario Marriage Bonds in CD #204]

Jane could easily be your Jennett.

Thomas Torr is also found in the 1857 Directory of Ontario
as

Thomas Torr, Prescott, Grenville, baker on King St.
