My fourth great grandmother was Nancy Jennings born June 20, 1800 in Pennsylvania and died November 22, 1888 (unknown where, possibly Ohio).  Her father is listed as being born in New York and her mother born in Pennsylvania.  She married Elijah Coalman (Coleman) August 5, 1818 in Washington County, Ohio.

I have John JENNINGS from Kilmaine, County Mayo, where he married Bridget HOBAN in 1795. John was arrested for an unknown crime as a political rebel in 1822, and transported in NSW for life.
John petitioned the Governor to have his wife join him 7 years later, Bridget and the family were sent to join him in 1828 and he was then granted an exemption from government labour and allowed to work for wages to support his family.
Depite numerous petitions, John was never granted his freedom, and died in Maitland NSW still under sentence.

I'm looking for the parents of William M. Jennings ( 1867-1931). William was born and died in the area of Campbell/Fulton County, Georgia. His mother's name was Nancy ?(1841-bef 1910) and he married Alice Perkins. I've been searching for a long time and any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Our Jennings family tree we have traced back to Cheshire in the latter 1700's but there are quite a few missing lines emamating from this base.Several individuals disapppear especially around 1900-1910 ) Joseph born 1880, Annie born 1906, George born 1905 to name but three )and one of them emigrated to Canada, May be some other lines also emigrated from the UK - so if you have roots in Cheshire or Shropshire UK I'd love to hear from you. Our results are on Genes Reunited if you can reach them.

I have gone back as far as John Jennings and Susan ? who had 5 children in Middlesex, England. They were Amelia Ann; Henry Stephen; Rosina; George & Edwin, born between 1826 and 1835. Henry Stephen Jennings was my gggrandfather. He married Sarah Amy Painter 30 Mar 1852, Marylebone, Middlesex, England and they migrated to Australia in 1854, having 6 children. I have found marriages for Amelia Ann and Edwin. Amelia married William George Jennings (another Jennings line which I would like to track) and they appear to have had no children. Edwin married Charlotte ? and they had 5 children. Wonder if anybody is able to help any further with my Jennings family.

My Jennings came from Ranaghy, Islandeady, County Mayo in the early 1900's to Chicago. Other related families were the Geraghtys, the Clearys, and the Morans, also from Co. Mayo.

2nd great grandparents, Anthony Jennings and Mary Noone left County Mayo, Ireland in 1861 and settled in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Most of this Jennings line remained in Massachusetts. Still looking for Anthony and Mary's parents in Ireland.

Hello! I don't have too much info on my Jennings ancestors yet. My ggg grandmother was Susan A. Jennings b. 1839 in GA. d. 1905 TX. Her parents were Thomas Jennings b. 1818 GA and Maria (maiden name unknown).b. about 1820. They also lived in Macon Co., AL. Susan's siblings are:
William Jennings b.1841 GA
John Jennings b. 1843 AL
Mary Jennings b. 1845 AL
All listed in 1850 census. I am unable to find them (the siblings) in any other censuses.
