PliEFACE  TO  VOLDr/iE  11. 


rHERK  aic  cliaiacteristic  epochs  in  the  social  life  of 
a  people,  which,  though  usually  unnoticed  by  the 
historiau,  yet  mark  different  i:ihascs  in  the  devel- 
opmeiit  of  the  nation.  Perliajis  it  is  that  the  various 
changes  in  national  evolution  bring  with  t'leni  tlie  foices 
which  determine,  nr>t  only  tlie  material  environment  of 
poverty  or  wealth,  but  also  tlie  very  lines  along  v/hich 
are  exerted  the  activities  of  the  mind  What  once  v.-as 
considered  uuworthy  or  useless,  may  nov.  be  seen  to  be 
both  valuable  and  worth  one's  v.hile. 

In  the  early  life  of  a  nation,  the  people  are  over- 
occupied  in  those  things  that  minister  directly  to  their 
immediate  v/auts;  while  as  national  organization  ad- 
vances, there  comes  both  the  meaus  to  acquire,  and  the 
leisure  to  enjoy  the  luxuries  of  life.  The  hardships 
met  and  overcome  in  the  early  days  develop  heroes, 
great  men  and  women,  whose  children  we  are;  and  it 
is  with  legitimate  pride  that  we  trace  back  our  descent 
to  some  who  were  "  giants  in  those  days,"  if  not  in 
public  life,  yet  in  the  greatness  of  their  moral  excellence. 
No  higher  nobility,  and  no  more  royal  ancestry,  can 
ever  be  found  than  that  wherein  it  can  be  said  of  each 
generation's  head,  "  He  was  a  good  man.'' 

And  so  it  is,  that  as  the  years  go  by,  and  generation 
succeeds  generation  in  an  ever-increasing  enjoyment  of 
life,  there  grows  out  of  the  desire  to  knov.'  whence  we 
are,  an  eager  study  of  Genealogy. 

The  present  volume  is  the  result  of  no  litlle  eiTort 
through  many  years,  to  place  in  ijermanent  fen;  the 
records  of  the  immediate  line  of  the  fauiily  of  the  Com- 
piler, together  with  what  be  ha.s  collected  coucerning 


other  American  branches  of  the  sauie  family'  name. 
And  it  seems  fitting  here  to  teil  the  story  of  the  origin 
and  gro-,vth  of  this  history  of  tiie  Jennings  family  in 
AmeTica. 

In  tlie  early  part  of  this  centiiry,  great  interest  was 
awakened  among  those  of  the  Jcuuings  name,  by  reason 
of  the  report  that  the  heir  to  ihe  vast  estates  oi  William 
Jennens  of  Acton,  England,  was  to  be  found  in  some 
Jennings  family  in  America.  Not  to  discuss  the  merits 
of  the  case,  it  will  be  sufficient  to  say  that  no  litile  en- 
thusiasm was  aroused,  conventions  held,  and  a  s)-slem" 
atic  effort  made  to  airive  at  a  corr^rcl  lineage  for  every 
one  of  tlie  name  v.dio  joined  in  the  work.  Anicu,^  tliose 
who  look  some  part  in  this  effort,  v/erc  the  immediate 
ancestors  of  the  Compiler,  to  whor.e  jiossession  finally 
came  a  number  of  records  and  papers,  and  these  became 
the  basis  of  the  work  cariied  on  thiough  a  seoie  of 
years,  and  resulting  in  the  book  now  issued.  Ah  ex- 
tensive correspondence  was  begun  with  every  Jennings 
whose  name  could  be  learned,  and  tlnough  these,  oih(  r 
branches  of  the  family  were  discovered  until  this  cor- 
respondence spread  throughout  America,  and  even 
England.  Througli  the  kindness  of  each  corresjordent, 
(whicl;  is  hereby  ackno\vled-:^ed),  original  recoids  were 
suiDplied,  or  those  in  hand  verified,  until  the  Compiler 
is  warranted  in  saying  that  wherever  positive  lacts  are 
stated,  that  they  may  be  relied  on  as  correct.  Every 
efi'ort  has  been  made  to  arrive  at  the  truth,  and  nothing 
is  conjecture  except  where  given  as  such. 

Among  the  materials  received,  there  is  found  such 
a  wealth  of  facts  concerning  collateral  and  related  fam- 
ilies, that  it  has  been  deemed  necessary  to  add  certain 
appendices. 

It  is  also  the  ):iurpose  of  th.e  Compiler  to  issue  a 
volume  of  the  Jennings  faniily  in  England,  w'tli  chap- 
ters on  "  The  Origin  of  the  Name,"  "  Armori;'.)  Eviden- 
ces," "Early  History  of  the  Family,"  "  individuals  of 
Note,"  "  Williaui  Jennens  of  Acton-  the  Intestate — his 
estate,  attempts  to  secure  it,"  etc.,  etc  ,  thus  giving 
completeness  as  near  as  may  be  to  th*:-  work  nudcrteiken. 


Also  a  book  of  places,  or  gener.logical  charts  will  form 
a  tl:ird  volunie  in  the  series. 

Hopino-that  njy  earnest  labor  has  resulted  in  a 
contribution  of  \-aUie,  not  only  to  the  family,  but  to 
student.?  of  family  historj'  in  general,  and  with,  grateful 
thani:s  to  all  who  liave  in  anj-  way  contributed  to  the 
accomplishoient  of  mj'  ]nirpose,  this  volume  is  now 
sent  forth.  I  remain,  siT'.ccrely,

THE  "OAST  JERS'-^Y"  JENNENfiS'S. 

With  onr  first  knowledge  of  that  bra'jch  of  the 
Jennings  faniih-  to  which  this  name  has  been  given  we 
have  the  tradition,  that  it  consisted  of  seven  brothers, 
namelv  :

Their  immediate  ancestry  we  cannot  ascertain ;  and 
even  their  place  of  birth  is  unknown.  From  a  descend- 
ant of  Jacob  (3)  we  have  learned  of  a  tradition  in  his 
family  to  the  effect  that  in  consequence  of  a  ship  wreck 
the  landing  of  this  family  was  not  made  a  matter  of 
record  ;    and  the  following  letter  would  seem  to  confirm 

this  tradition : 

Winchester,  Oct.  10,  18-18.

St.  Clairsville,  Belmout  Co.,  Ohio. 

Dear  Sir  —  Yours  of  a  previous  date  to  hand  and  the  contents 
noted.  In  reply  1  will  say  t)\at  I  wj'ote  to  Lycun,'UH  after  my 
rernru  from  tbc  eust,  .stating  to  hhu  the  points  by  mc  jXsaOc  iu 
regard  to  our  Kiigland  maUcr.  But  lor  fear  the  leit'.T  dii'.  v.v 
reacli  liim,  I  will,  though  in  haste,  note  some  oi  tJieui  to  you, 
which  you  will  please  show  to  liim  and  Mr.  Alexi!,L':i<'r. 

1st.  I  found  on  my  last  tour  tbr"  x/ilN  of  ray  > ; lamt  v\<\  f-ir.-ai. 
Grandfathers,  and  also  your  Grea.;  Oraudfftthcr,  tc-uctbcr  wiih 
about  ten  or  twelve  more,  made  by  othor  persons  iie.xring  the 
uanic  of  Jeuuiug-i,  on  record,  ni(^;:t  of  thcrn  :it  Perth  A'aibviy,  N.  J. 


•I  THE   SKVKa    BROTIIIZRS 

These  records  would  carry  us  back  to  tiie  Siitisfaetiou  of  iiii\ 
court.  To  that  period  there  is  do  reeord  in  any  -of  thj  (.lilct-;  in 
Kew  York  that  will  render  us  f.uy  assistasjce,  I  fouDd  a  very  i.lU 
aiau  (Wia.  .lenuiiigs)  livjij?:  .".t  Eliza bothtowu,  X.  J.  Ht'  told  im; 
th?.t  his  Grandfather  C'Uixie  fron)  luigland,  ijiil  he  did  not  recollect 
his  name,  but  said  that  youi-  Ureat  Oraudfather,  Jacob,  and  my 
Great  Gratidi'ather,  Zebulon,  -.vere  related  to  biin  ;  that  his  auee-.- 
loi  came  over  ou  board  the  "Old  Calledonia,"  wh'ch  landed  a( 
Perth  Andioy,  and  that  the  vessel  v.-cut  to  wreck.  Then  I  went 
brck  to  X.  Y.  City,  but  found  no  entry  made  there  of  her  landinir. 
I  then  v,-8i\t  to  P'rrth  Andjoy  and  found  tliere  yet  re)iiaiidng'  the 
wreck  of  the  '■  Old  CalI<'doniu." 

She  landed  there  about  tlie  year  ]G8o  loaded  with  einigraiits 
from  Old  Kngland.  But  th^ue  M'ere  only  (svelve  najne'-i  of  il,o 
emigi.'iDts  recorded  there;  they  were  ]iroprietoivs  to  whom  large 
grants  of  land  were  made  in  Ea^^t  .Ter::ey. 

T  VTent  to  Xew  England,  viz:  Conneclic'it,  to  ;;ee  tht-  i.gent? 
wbc  have  been  to  Old  England.  Tiiey  have  traced  oiri.  all  I  he 
br.inches  of  their  fnn'iily  and  found  that  ihey  ran  quite  loo  f:ir 
back  to  be  the  heirs 

It  has  cost  tlie;ii  about  $1,0(10  and  they  have  about  given  i(  up. 
They  are  satisfied  that  we  do  not  belong  to  their  une  and  tlu-y 
say  tliat  it  our  ancestors  came  over  as  late  as  lfiS5-or  UiflO,  they 
have  but  little  doubt  that  wc  are  h.eirs  to  the  estate,  and  they  say 
they  think  we  can  succeed  in  tracing  to  our  landing  in  tliis 
country.  They  say  the  points  made  by  my  research  are  highly 
important  and  encourage  me  to  go  on  in  the  matter.  There  .are 
ten  years  yet  in  which  we  can  make  further  research. 

But  I  fear  the  want  of  records  iu  this  country  back  of  ilie 
Revolution,  and  the  mutilated  records  in  Eugland,  will  prevent 
our  success.  I  have  a  copy  of  the  plot  of  the  Jennings  family  iu 
England  which  shows  that  William  Jennings  died  iutestate  iu 
179S,  a  bachelor— that  the  estate  left  by  him  will  now  amount  t<i 
from  thirty  to  fifty  millions  of  dollars  — that  there  were  si.v 
brothers  to  his  father;  two  of  them,  *Henry  and  tAVilliam  probably 
came  to  this  country,  as  there  is  no  trace  of  ihem  there.  There  is 
no  doubt  that  the  leaves  iu  their  record  were  cut  out  ou  purpose  to 
prevent  our  tracing  to  the  estate.  I  have  spent  all  the  money 
raised  for  me  iu  making  search,  etc. 

There  are  two  families,  one  iu  Virginia  and  one  in  Jrassachu- 
setts,  now  tracing  their  families.  How  they  may  succeed  I  sh.ii! 
be  informed  in  due  time  and  Ihoii  it  will  be  time  for  me  'v  joove

Dear  .Sir — Yours  flud.s  me  at  my  ex.'iiDiniitiou  of  JeiJiiir..e:a' 
records.  I  h:i\  u  therefore  turned  to  your  br.'tiu'h  of  t.he  family  i\nd 
find  your  t^-iandfiither  and  (iJreat  Grandfather  wore  both  Jacob, 
the  former  hnvn  1744,  the  Litter  171!.  I  have  this  record  of  your 
lather's  brother.s,  to-wit :  Samuel  K,,  Ktioiiezer,  Jouatbaii,  and 
your  father  David.  If  there  are  any  more,  or  any  sistere,  jilease 
give  them  (o  r.ic,  a.s  well  a.s  your  brothers  and  si>iters. 

I  have  s]ent  much  time  iu  this  iuvestigation,  jiarticularly  of 
CUV  brancii  of  the  family,  liaving  very  full  records  of  all  the 
branches  back  to  Joshua,  uearly  two  hundred  years.  One  agent 
found  we  went  too  far  back,  but,  uotwithstaudiug,  I  have  spout 
mueli  ti'ne  and  money.  1  do  not  regret  it,  and  I  do  fee!  satisfied 
that  seme  of  the  descendants  of  Humphrey's  children  are  in  ihc 
Uniled  fttalci;,  altliough  there  is  uo  certainty  with  any  fajnily 
that  they  will  reach  it;  but  it  can  be  ascojlnit.ed  for  five  or  lea 
dollars  fiouj  each  that  aie  willing  to  invcsligate  the  eubjeci,  (as 
there  are  always  a  few  willing  to  l;nov,-  their  anceslry,  at  a  small 
tax,  whether  anything  is  realized  or  noi),  wliether  they  desrciiiJtd 
from  these  brothers  or  who  their  ancestry  is.  1  consider  it  worth 
the  attention  of  the  diflerent  branches  to  give  it  a  thorough  investi- 
gation. As  we  have  gone  so  far  now,  it  will  not  be  much  expense. 
I  have  been  engaged  in  this  matter  over  two  years  and  it  wp.s  not 
Uiitil  last  fall  that  we  got  ready  to  send  our  agent  to  England.  "\Ye 
could  not  get  much  encouragement  out  of  our  branch,  as  they 
lived  at  a  distance  and  were  not  aware  what  we  were  doing.  Our 
agent  found  a  large  property  left  by  William  in  1798,  (the  list  we 
have  is  correct  generally,  of  which  I  presume  you  have  a  copy,  as 
I  have  sent  many  copies  to  ditlereut  sections)  and  no  one  of 
Humphrey's  sons  have  been  able  to  prove  their  relationship, 
although  many  in  England  have  tried.  Mr.  Fordyce  was  here 
last  week.  I  told  him  farther  examination  must  be  made  in  New 
Jersey,  and  I  thought  there  was  no  doubt  your  aucestrj'  came  to 
Massaolmsctts  and  from  there  to  Long  Island  and  New  Jersey, 
and  I  hoped  you  v.'ould  conclude  to  ascertain  as  far  as  possible,who 
was  the  first  of  your  family  thai  came  over.  If  there  waf^  no  '.ue 
to  go  througli  with  it,  I  would  r.tther  investigate  it  th'in  rste  it 
dropped.  It  is  well  to  use  economy  in  the  business  until  thvie  is 
a  degree  of  certainty,  if  it  can  be  shown.  I  have  counsoi  in  Jj:t;j- 
laud  who  informs  me  any  trace  to  Humphriy'H  sons  or  hrothnr 
he  will  undertake  and  get  emi.aant  counsel  there  to  iusiitute  a 
suit  and  risk  expense,  taking  pay  out  of  the  pi'i-.pc'  ly  if  suvCf  .--ful.

4      -- —  THK    SEVEN    EROTKERr, 

A):'ci-.g  the  ancestors  who  came  ovli'  m  the  "  Old 
Calledonia  "  in  1685,  as  has  been  suggestfcl,  were  prob- 
ably the  grandparents  of  the  "  seven  brothers,"  of  whom 
Zebnlon  (2)  was  born  in  1700,  Jacob  (3)  in  17J1, 
and  Penjimiin  (4)  in  171G;  from  wlilch  dates  it 
wovihd  appear  that  the  "seven  brothers"  belong  to  the 
second  generation  after  the  arrival  of  the  "  Calledonia." 

We  are  sensible  of  the  fact  that  the  hj'pothesis 
here  presented,  that  the  so-called  "Seven  Brothers"  are 
probably  the  ^;'«?^rt'^///7a'r£7z  of  the  ancestor  wlio  came 
to  America  in  the  '■'■  Old  Calledoma ,^''  conflicts  sojne- 
v.'hat  vv'ith  the  traditions  of  tlie  fiiniily.  There  Is  much 
reason  for  believing  that  these  seven  \\n<t  closely  re- 
lated and  of  a  recent  coDinion  ancestor,  bnt  it  is  possi- 
ble thai  this  relationship  as  between  son;e  of  them  was 
not  nearer  than  that  of  consins ;  that  is  to  say,  the 
"Seven  IJrothers"  -were  the  sons  of  the  son  or  sons  oi 
the  ancestor  who  is  said  to  have  been  one  of  the  CaUc- 
donia's  passengers. 

Certain  it  is  that  in  the  earliest  times  to  which 
research  can  accurately  lead  ns,  the  family  of  Joniiings 
was  numerously  represented  in  America.  From  the 
interest  created  and  the  enthusiasm  aroused  by  the 
"Jennings  Conventions"  of  fifty  years  ago,  there  re- 
sulted an  extensive  investigation  along  the  various 
lines  of  ancestry ;  these  investigations  were  carried 
back  by  those  who  lived  a  half  century  nearer  the 
beginning  than  we  do,  and  there  then  seemed  to  be  no 
doubting  the  tradition  of  the  "Seven  Brothers."  It 
was  known  then  and  held  to  be  true ;  and  we  are  work- 
ing now  in  harmony  with  it.  But  while  this  is  the 
case,  we  are  open  to  conviction  as  to  the  truth,  however 
it  may  conflict  with  preconceived  theories.  That 
the  father  of  one  of  the  "Seven  Brothers,"  Benjamin  ( !), 
was  also  named  Benjamin,  would  appear  from  the 
following :

0  THE   SEVEN    liP.OTIIKnS 

Time,  place,  and  the  names  mentioned  in  this 
account  are  the  strongest  circnmistaniial  evidence  of  the 
fact  that  the  Benjamin  whose  e£l:^te  is  hete  adraiais- 
tered  is  the  Bcnjamui  (4)  of  l:;e  "Seven  E  roth  erf.." 
Whence  it  falls  out  that  Benifiuiin  B.  Jcnnirigs  who 
administers  the  estate  is  the  father  of  one,  if  not  of  all 
of  these  "brothers,"  and,  this  being  true,  v.o  feel  war- 
ranted in  saying  that  the  Hue  of  Benjamin  is  authenti- 
cated back  to  the  son  of  the  ancestor  v/ho  xvas  landed 
from  the  wreck  of  the  ^^Old  Calledoniay 

We  thus  raise  the  question  with  the  hope  that  this 
hypothesis  may  be  fully  investigated  and  the  truth 
positively  learned. 

From  another  source*  we  have  the  follcAiiig: 

"  In  the  Court  uf  Hustings,  of  the  City  of  Lourtou,  will  t^o 
fouiul  a  testation  of  gift  of  IjilkI  aud  :t  co]>y  of  t'tlie  li<^ly  Eviuige- 
liits  hound  iu  red  leather  with  a  clasp,'  to  my  '  right  v,-e!i-boU)v;:td 
Zebulou"  who  is  described  as  passing  beyoud  the  sea.  There  are 
others  mentioned  but  they  fill  ;ippcar  to  lir.ve  ix-iuaiLied  iu 
England." 

Query. — Could  this  Zebulon  who  is  described  as 
''passing  beyond  the  sea,"  be  the  ancestor  who  came 
over  in  the  "C/«'  Calledonia."!

time,  and  settled  in  the  sa;xi,e  vicinity  Jn  the  counties  of 
Fayette,  Green  and  Washington;  these  counties  all 
bordering  on  the  Monongahela  River. 

The  "Jennings  Ferrj',"  kept  by  Henry,  brother  cf 
Jonathan,  was  located  nea:  Masoutown,  Fayette  Co. 
The  home  of  Jonathan  seems  to  have  been  at  or  Yiear 
Brownsville,  Washingtou  Co.  His  daughter,  Delilah, 
was  born  in  Brownsville,  while  Junia,  the  next  child, 
was  born  in  Fayette  Co.  where  bis  parents  were  vi';!!:- 
iug ;  presumably  at  Masoutown.  The  last  y^ar  iu 
Pennsylvania  they  were  unsettled. 

Jonathan  Jennings  emigrated  from  Washington  Cc. 
Fa.,  to  Washington  Co.  O.,  in  1801.  With  his  family 
and  household  goods  he  traveled  to  Wheeling,  W^  Vs  , 
in  wagons,  and  from  that  point  floated  down  the  river 
on  a  flat-boat.  He  intended  to  settle  on  the  £ig 
Muskingum  River,  but  on  arriving  at  the  mouth  of  the 
Little  Muskingum,  about  dusk,  the  water  was  so  high 
that  it  misled  them  and  they  entered  that  river  by 
mistake. 

This  was  on  the  evening  of  March  6,  1801.  The 
point  at  which  they  lauded  is  where  Lafaver's  mill  now 
stands. 

After  exploring  a  little  while,  Mr.  Jennings  de- 
cided that  he  had  no  need  to  go  further ;  the  climate 
seemed  all  that  could  be  desired ;  the  peach  trees  were 
in  bloom,  the  grass  green  and  the  prospect  most  invit- 
ing to  the  weary  family.  The  trip  down  the  river  had 
been  a  hazardous  one,  and  to  the  parents  burdened  with 
the  care  of  five  children,  the  eldest  of  whom  was  but 
eight  years  of  age,  and  the  youngest,  Junia,  but  an 
infant,  it  had  seemed  long  and  wearisome,  and  the 
itdjacent  country  being  filled  with  hostile  Indians,  thoir 
voyage  was  extremely  perilous. 

So  it  was  that  on  the  morning  of  March  7th,  1801, 
the  family  looked  with  most  pleasurable  anticipations 
over  the  beautiful  country  which  was  to  become  tlitir 
h.ome. 

Mr.  TcMnings  built  liis  cabin  on  what  is  now  knov/n 


20  DESCENDANTS   OF   ZEBULON 

as  the  Henry  Jennings  farm  ;  there  they  lived  and  pros- 
pered and  four  children  vere  born  to  them  at  this  p]?.ce. 

Ml.  Jeiiiiings  tiuited  theo-jcupations  of  sl'Ocnia]:.ing 
and  blacksmithing.  He  was  a  man  of  considerable 
strength  of  cliaracter  and  was  mnch  respected  h\  a]l 
his  acquaintances.  By  his  death  at  the  early  a[;e  of 
thirty-nine  years,  his  family  suffered  an  irreparable  loss. 

Elizabeth  Stephenson,  wife  of  Jonathan  Jennings, 
was  of  Scotch-Irish  parentage.  Her  father  emigrated 
from  Ireland  and  settled  in  Delaware,  later  moving  to 
Pennsylvania. 

After  the  death  of  Mr.  Jennings  his  widow  manied 
Mr.  William  Nixon,  a  neighbor  and  widower.  They 
both  liad  large  families,  (she  having  nine  children  and 
he  having  eight)  by  their  former  marriages  ;  and  to  thera 
were  born  four  children,  making  twenty-one  in  all. 

Mrs.  {^Jennings)  Nixon  was  a  good  woman  and  was 
endowed  with  more  than  ordinary  powers  ol  mind  She 
possessed  the  love  of  all  her  children  and  step-children, 
to  whom  she  strove  to  do  her  duty  impartially  and 
faithfully.  At  the  time  of  her  removal  to  Ohio  .she 
was  a  Presbyterian,  but  there  being  no  church  of  that 
denomination  in  her  locality,  ."^he  united  with  the  I\Teth- 
odists  and  retained  her  connection  with  that  church 
until  her  death.  She  was  buried  by  the  side  of  Jona- 
than Jennings  in  sight  of  their  old  cabin  home,  in  the  old 
family  burying  ground,  at  Hills,  Newport  Township, 
Washington  County,  Ohio.

Robert  Morrisou  (No.  6S)  iu  his  a-,ito-biography., 
published  xn^-The  ScroLi^''  iox  April,  1897,  page  411, 
says : 

"Eobert  ISIorrison,  my  gvaiidfutber,  was  of  Bcoxch-Irigh 
parentage.  He  was  horn  in  CVjunt;/  Detr.\',  Ir>jlanil.  The  family 
was  of  the  middle  class,  ueitLier  y-uii  nor  rich,  and  was  connected 
in  marriage  willi  the  Hamilfoub  in  ScotLaud.  In  1TC5,  when 
Robert  was  sixteen  years  old,  with  his  brothers  older  Ibaa  him- 
self, he  came  to  America  and  sett!ed  in  Delaware.  Sorae  of  them 
emigrated  to  the  Valley  of  Virginia  ;  one  kept  on  south;  another 
■wing  went  west  to  Vineennes,  Kaskasia  and  St.  Louis. 

"After  the  Kevolutiouary  V/ar,  iu  which  Robart  bad  a  share 
as  one  of  the  'blue  hen's  chickens,'  as  f^oldicrs  fro;<i  Delaware 
■were  called,  he  concluded  to  take  his  youns?  wife,  Eilzabetb 
Culberison,  an  English  woman,  and  two  little  children,  as  I 
helieve,  and  go  west.  General  Washington  iiiked  bira  to  take 
his  tract  of  600  acres  in  the  northwestern  part  of  Fayette  County, 
Pa.,  lying  on  the  Yoiighiogheuy  river.  He  v.ent  and  looked  at 
the  land,  but  tiiought  it  too  mach  exposed  to  incursions  from  the 
Indians,  and  continued  his  journey  about  fifty  miles  .southwest 
into  Green  county,  and  bouglit  out  the  IMoClurigs,  who  to-ok  their 
slaves  and  went  to  Kentucky,  as  Pennsylvania  had  iu  1780  passed 
an  ordinance  of  gradual  emancipation.  There  my  grandfather 
lived  and  reared  a  family  of  ten  children  and  died  at  the  age  of 
eighty-two.  There  my  father,  Thomas  Morrison,  wps  born  an;l 
reared."

They  had  no  children  but  tai.sed  a  large  family,  a 
number  of  tlicir  adopted  children  still  residing  in 
Washirijnon  Co. 

"Zebulon  Jennings  (called  by  old  and  young 
'Uncle  Zeb' )  like  most  of  the  early  settlers,  -was  some- 
thing of  a 'Jack  of  all  trades,'  working  as  occasion  re- 
quired, at  blacksmithing,  shoemakiug,  tanning  and 
farming.  At  the  time  of  the  removal  of  his  father's 
family  to  Ohio,  he  was  in  his  ninth  hear.  After  he 
was  of  age,  Zebulon  bought  the  first  eighty  acres  of 
what  is  known  as  Jennings  Hill,  the  consideration 
being  a  box  of  glass.  He  had  raised  a  colt  and  rode 
it  to  Wheeling  on  the  'old  trail' — the  \Voodsfield  road — 
where  he  exchanged  it  for  glass,  one  box  of  which  was 
already  bargained  away.  He  afterwards  added  many 
more  acres.  He  was  a  member  of  Captain  Buell's 
company  in  the  war  of  1812.  His  commission  as 
Lieutenant  in  the  State  Militia  is  dated  Oct.  11,  1817. 
Later  he  received  a  commission  as  Captain. 

In  early  life  he  united  with  the  Baptist  church  and 
retained  his  connection  with  that  body  up  to  the  time 
of  his  death.  He  was  an  ardent  abolitionist,  and  his 
house  was  used  as  a  station  on  the  'Underground  Rail- 
way.'  He  was  a  man  of  strict  integrity  and  goodness 
of  heart,  which  virtues  won  for  him  the  esteem  of  his 
neighbors  and  acquaintances.

Betsey  Maxon  was  one  of  the  first  children  bora  in 
the  fort  at  Marietta.  Her  father,  Richard  Maxon,  set- 
tled on  Duct  Creek  at  the  same  time  Stanley  and  Chap- 
man did.  At  the  age  of  fifteen,  she  taus^ht  the  first 
school  ever  opened  in  Dnck  Creek  and  continued  teach- 
ing in  the  various  settlements  near  there  until  she  was 
twenty-six.  Her  contracts  read,  'that  she  shall  be  paid 
in  good  merchantable  corn  and  other  products,  to  be 
delivered  at  Marietta.'  One  read  that  the  chairman 
of  the  school  committee  shall  have  D.  Protsman  make 
her  a  set  of  silver  teaspoons.  At  her  first  terra  there 
were  but  two  books,  the  spelling  book  and  English 
reader.  She  taught  other  things  by  'word  of  mouth'  she 
said.  But  it  was  not  long  until  they  had  books,  as  well 
as  bears,  who  came  for  the  remains  of  the  dinners. 
The  school  Iiouse  stood  at  the  mouth  of  Sugar  llun, 
above  Cay  wood.''

Margaret  Jennings,  or  as  she  was  more  commonly 
knov/n,  "Aunt  Peggy,''  still  holds  a  warm  place  in  the 
lienrts  of  those  who  knew  her  well  in  life.  She  was  a 
woman  of  more  than  ordinary  powers  of  mind  although 
they  were  not  fully  developed.  She  was  a  very  flueut 
speaker  aud  an  earnest  exhortev,  and  was  very  active  in 
the  work  of  the  United  Brethren  Church,  of  which  she 
was  a  member,  although  in  her  earlit- r  years  .she  had 
been  a  Methodist. 

Her  first  husband,  George  Nixon,  was  the  son  of 
William  Nixon,  her  step  father.  He  was  not  a  mem- 
ber of  any  church  but  was  a  good  man  of  considerable 
education  and  had  much  influence.  His  death  at  the 
early  age  of  twenty-five  years  cut  short  a  life  which 
promised  to  be  one  of  great  usefulness  and  prominence. 

Presley  Petty,  the  second  husband  of  Margaret, 
was  a  farmer  by  occupation  and  much  respected  by  his 
neighbors.  He,  like  his  wife,  was  a  member  of  the 
United  P>rethreu  Church.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the  war 
ot  1812  in  Captain  John  Thorniley's  company.

Deliiah  (Jennings)  Reckard  was  a  womau  of  stronfj 
character  and  a  devout  christian.  At  the  time  of  the 
removal  in  1801,  of  her  father's  famil)'  from  Pennsylva- 
nia to  Washington  County,  Ohio,  she  was  but  three 
years  old.  For  eighty  years  she  remained  a  resident 
of  Washington  County,  and  at  the  time  of  her  death, 
possessed  the  uuqualilied  esteem  and  love  of  her  many 
acquaintances.  She  joined  the  j\lethodist  Churcli  in 
18'J0  and  remained  a  faithful  and  consistent  member  of 
that  denomination  till  within  a  few  years  of  her  death, 
■when,  with  the  most  of  her  family,  she  left  the  Method- 
i.st  and  joined  the  Congregational  Church. 

^Joseph  Leonard  Reckard,  or,  as  he  was  very  gener- 
ally known,  Leonard  Reckard,  was  a  man  of  the  purest 
life,  of  gentle  disposition  and  kindly  heart ;  he  merited 
that  warm  affection  -which  was  bestowed  on  him  by  all 
who  knew  him. 

In  connecticn  with  his  trade  as  a  blacksmith,  he 
opened  the  first  livery  stable  in  Marietta,  in  v/hich 
business  he  continued  until  his  death. 

For  more  than  fifty  years  he  v/as  a  member  of  the 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church.

Junia  Jenning.s  was  converted  in  1820  under  the 
preaching  of  Rev.  Samuel  Hamilton  and  joined  the 
Methodist  Church,  remaining  a  faithful  member  of  that 
denomination  itntil  he  died.  When  upon  his  death-bed 
one  of  the  Marietta  papers  spoke  of  him  in  the  follow- 
ing manner : 

"Father  Juuia  Jcuniugs,  having  passed  his  allotted  tjiree

his  life.  His  many  friends  will  be  glad  to  hear  Ihat  his  last  days 
Mil  free  from  paiuaud  that  he  views  tlie  close  calmly  and  v>eace- 
iiiliy.'' 

His  pastor,  Rev.  T.  W.  Stanley  in  au  obituar)' 
notice,  says : 

"Jlis  life  is  one  of  those  well  worth  record  and  study.  It  was 
an  example  of  faithfulness  iu  all  respects.  He  was  always  in  his 
place  at  public  services  and  other  means  of  giace.  Though  his 
^u(lerings  were  constant  and  frequently  so  great  that  he  was  in 
phvsical  agony,  he  never  absented  himself  from  the  sanctuary. 
Kiiin,  heat,  pain  and  weariness  kept  him  not  at  hoaic.  Many  of 
the  leading  men  iu  the  churches  will  remember  him  as  the  first 
who  approaclied  them  npon  the  subject  of  religion,  the  tiist  who 
prayed  with  them  at  thealtar.  He  has  been  a  I'aithful  class-leader 
luid  steward  and  trustee.  He  was  a-gw)d  counselor  for  the  pastor 
— llie  preacher's  friend." 

Junia  Jennings  was  not  a  man  of  brilliant  attain- 
ments or  of  exalted  station,  but  he  had  the  attributes 
of  the  truly  great.  He  was  a  man  of  simple,  kindly 
nature,  and  of  a  genial,  cheerj'  disposition;  a  man  of 
the  most  intrinsic  honesty  and  purity  of  character;  he 
had  charity  for  the  erring ;  a  devout  christian,  he 
pitied  but  did  not  condemn  the  disbeliever.  Though 
not  possessed  of  large  means,  he  gave  freely,  and  was 
always  the  friend  of  the  unfortunate  ;  upheld  by  the 
affection  of  his  children  and  the  love  of  so  many  whom 
he  had  endeavored  to  make  happy,  and  firm  iu  the  faith 
of  God,  he  passed  peacefully  away.  He  left  a  memory 
which  will  ever  remain  green  in  the  hearts  of  those 
who  knew  him. 

IMr.  Jennings  was  a  shoemaker  by  occupation  but 
held  various  offices  in  the  city  and  county  governments. 
He  served  two  terms  (from  Oct.  1842  to  Oct.  1846)  as 
deputy  sheriff  (residing  at  the  jail)  uuder  George  W. 
Barker  and  v.'as  himself  sheriff  two  terms,  Oct.  1846  to 
Oct.  1850.  He  was  infirmary  director  from  1861  to 
1870.  He  was  a  Mason,  the  lodge  following  his 
remains  to  their  last  resting  place  Feb.  'PO,  1871,  the 
•'oth  anniversary  of  the  organization  of  the  American 
I'nion  Lod^c  No.  1,  of  v/hich  he  was  a  faithful  member. 


36  DESCENDANTS   OF   ZEBULON 

Haunah  McCabe,''~  the  first  v.'ife  of  Junia  Jenuings, 
was  a  daughter  of  Robert  and  Polly  i^McCrackeii) 
McCabe,  of  Athens,  Ohio.  Polly  McCraeken  was  a 
daughter  of  Rev.  Alexander  IMcCrackenf — a  most  elo- 
quent preacher.  Robert  McCabe  and  Folly  McCvacLceD 
were  married  in  Brownsville,  Pa.,  and  emigrated  to 
Marietta,  Ohio,  where  they  were  very  prominent  Isletli- 
odists.  Tradition  says  the  first  Methodist  sermon 
preached  in  Ohio  was  preached  at  their  h.ome  by  Robert 
Manly. 

Eliza  Ann  Reck.ird,j:  the  second  wife  of  Junia  Jen- 
nings, was  a  daughter  of  Calvin  Rickard  and  his  second 
wife,  Rhoda  (Borden),  widow  of  George  Westgate. 

Her  death  was  the  result  of  infirmities  incident  to 
her  advanced  age,  and  her  passing  av.'ay  was  as  peace- 
ful as  had  been  her  life.  She  died  at  the  home  of  her 
son  in  Columbus,  Ohio,  and  was  buried  by  the  side  of 
her  liusband  in  Oak  Grove  Cemetery,  Marietta,  Ohio.

well  and  favorably  known  in  the  community  in  Vv'hicli 
she  resided.  Not  only  was  she  a  capable  housewife 
and  a  good  mother,  but  she  was  also  a  factor  in  the 
moral  and  religious  development  of  the  community. 
Her  domestic  cares  did  not  hinder  her  activitj'  in  the 
work  of  the  church  ;  indeed  she  was  foremost  in  seeking 
to  bring  those  with  whom  she  came  iu  contact,  into  a 
better  way  of  life ;  exemplifying  in  her  daily  life  those 
principles  she  enthusiastically  advocated,  she  .sought  to 
live  the  truth  so  that  she  should  indeed  be  "a  living 
epistle  known  and  read  of  all  men."

the  above  is  true  of  her,  so  it  is  equally  true  of  her

What  has  been  said  of  his  brothers  is  ecjusUy  true 
of  Henry  Jennings.  His  life  was  quiet  and  peaceful, 
unmarked  by  anj'  stirring  events.  United  to  a  lady  of 
amiable  temperament  and  of  a  beautiful  character,  his 
domestic  relations  were  all  that  could  be  desired. 
Realizing  that  "as  the  twig  is  bent,  the  tree  is  inclined," 
they  reared  their  children  in  the  fear  of  God  and  in  the 
love  of  theirfellow  beings. 

In  his  varied  pursuits  as  a  farmer,  merchant  and 
hotel  keeper,  Mr.  Jennings  held  the  respect  and  esteem 
of  his  associates,  and  by  industry,  he  accumulated  a 
modest  competence. 

Both  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jenniugs  were  earnest  members 
of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  Mr.  Jennings 
was  for  years  a  licensed  exhorter  of  that  body. 

His  life  abounded  in  good  and  noble  works  and 
when  the  time  came  for  him  to  descend  into  the  dark 
valley  and  shadow  of  death,  he  feared  no  evil,  but  ac- 
cepted the  summons  as  a  call  to  his  reward  from  the 
Master  to  whom  he  had  been  a  good  and  faithful  ser- 
vai}t.

Rlioda  ^Jenniii.gs\  McKibben,  the  youngest  child 
and  the  last  survivor  of  the  Tatuily  of  Jonathan  and 
Elisabeth  {Stephensoji)  Jennings  died  in  Aniboy,  Blue 
Earth  County,  Minn.  For  fifty-five  years  she  was  the 
loved  and  loving  wife  of  Joseph  McKibben.  Their 
married  life  was  beautiful  in  its  harmony.  Their  chil- 
dren, as  they  grew  up,  had  before  them  always  an  ex- 
ample of  domestic  bliss  that  was  the  embodiment  of 
peace  and  happiness  on  earth. 

When  the  echo  of  the  guns  fired  at  Fort  Sumpter 
told  that  their  country  was  in  danger,  eight  stalwart 
sons  received  the  blessings  of  these  noble  parents,  and 
.rushed  bravely  to  her  defence.  Mr.  McKibben  whose 
age  caused  him  to  be  refused  admission  into  the  army, 
said  :  "Well,  if  I  am  too  old  to  fight,  I  am  not  too  old 
to  pray,''  and  every  night  and  morn  from  his  family 
altar  arose  a  humble  petition  to  the  God  of  battles, 
I)raying  that  he  would  preserve  the  Union  and  ])ro!.ect 
the  absent  ones. 

When  peace  dawned  again  upon  our  stricken  land, 
and  the  family  once  more  gathered  around  tlie  hearth- 
stone, there  was  one  vacant  chair.  While  their  litaris 
were  filled  with  grief  for  the  loss  of  their  first  born, 
they  th.anked  the  Heavenly  Father  that  he  had  fallen 


FOURTH   GENERATION.  41 

in  'Jie  cause  of  right  and  justice,  and  with  meekness  and 
huiuility  they  took  up  the  burden  laid  upon  them. 

In  the  foregoing  pages  we  have  taken  the  members 
of  Jonathan  Jennings'  family  individually  and  endeav- 
ored to  show  their  leading  characteristics.  The  little 
that  remains  to  be  said  can  be  said  of  them  collectively. 

When  this  family  came  to  Ohio,  but  twelve  years 
had  elapsed  since  the  first  settlemicut  had  been  made  at 
Marietta,  on  the  Ohio  Company's  Purchase.  Twelve 
years  of  hard  labor  by  the  colonists  had  made  but  little 
impression  upon  the  compact  and  almost  boundless 
forest,  and  Jonathan  Jennings  and  liis  family  found 
their  borne  an  almost  unbroken  wilderness.  Nearly  all 
of  the  members  of  that  family  lived  to  see  the  forest 
disappear  under  the  ax,  and  in  the  progress  of  improve- 
menl,  they  sav/  the  rude  cabins  of  the  pioneers  give 
way  to  more  pretentious  dwellings  ;  saw  the  broad  river 
flowing  before  their  doors  become  a  highway  of  com- 
merce and  bear  upon  its  bosom  hundreds  of  steam 
vessels;  saw  their  homes  and  the  homes  of  their  fathers 
connected  by  bands  of  electricity ;  heard  the  whistles 
of  the  locomotives  echoing  through  the  valley,  and  saw 
civilization  spreading  over  all  the  mighty  territory. 

In  effecting  this  revolution,  a  revolution  accom- 
plished by  courage,  industry  and  intelligence,  they 
nobly  bore  their  parts.  They  did  not  aspire  to  public 
positions  but  were  willing  to  work  hard,  and  content 
to  earn  independence  and  moderate  fortunes  by  econ- 
omy, thrift,  and  laborious  effort.  Though  their  names 
are  not  exalted  in  history,  their  descendants  can  rejoice 
ui  the  fact  that  they  fairly  won  a  right  to  the  proudest 
title  an  American  ran  bear  :    They  were  good  citizens. 

Altliough  their  educational  advantages  were  lim- 
ued,  they  were  all  possessed  of  good  intellect  which 
made  them  respected  by  their  neighbors. 

Through  the  lives  of  all  ran  a  deeply  reli<;,ioiis 
vtin  which  was  a  marked  characteristic.  At  time  of 
tUc- advei't  of  the  family   into  Ohio,   they  wore  Presby- 


-i^  DESCICNDANTS   OF   ZEBULON 

terians,  but  there  being  no  church  of  that  cieucmina- 
tion  near,  they  subsequently  becaine  Methodists. 

And  now  that  all  have  passed  away,  it  is  with  a 
melancholy  pleasure  that  we  recall  their  stones  of  hon- 
orable achievements  and  labors  of  a  time  when  the.  eyes 
DOW  closed  in  death,  were  bright  with  intelligence,  and 
the  strong  hearts  forever  stilled,  were  beaLmg  with  life 
and  courage.  Their  posterity  will  do  well  to  keep 
always  in  sight  the  examples  of  their  well  spent  and 
useful  lives.

the  beginning  of  the  war  he  was  ordered  to  leave  Mis- 
souri on  account  of  his  Union  sentiments.  He  settled 
at  Carlinville,  111.,  and  enlisted  in  Union  Army  at

as  he  said,  but  was  disal:)led  from  further  service.  He 
had  one  son  and  three  sons-in-law  in  the  service.  He 
was  well  known  and  liked,  and  honored  for  his  benevo- 
lence and  charitable  work.  He  was  not  a  member  of 
any  cliurch  but  practiced  what  he  "preached,"  lived 
and  died  a  good  citizen,  honoring  his  cotmtry  and  its 
laws.

Capt.  George  H.  Richards  was  the  son  of  Henry 
Richards,  a  native  of  Bath,  England,  and  Sarah  Burge, 
of  Bristol.  Both  were  of  Quaker  parentage.  The  family 
moved  to  America  when  George  was  an  infant,  settling 
in  Delaware,  near  Wilmington.  When  George  was 
eight  or  nine  years  old,  the  family  returned  to  England 
on  account  of  the  father's  health,  remaining  there 
about  a  year  and  a  half,  (during  which  time  George  at- 
tended a  Quaker  school),  then  returning  to  New  \ork 
City.  Most  of  the  time  while  the  family  remained  in 
the  city,  he  attended  an  academy  betv/een  Harlem 
and  Manhattauville,  receiving  a  fair  English  educatiou. 


70  DESCENDANTS   OF   ZKBUI.ON 

When  he  was  about  thirteen  or  fcmrteen  j-ears  of  age, 
his  iather  moved  to  Pennsylvania,  whence  he  was  sent 
to  Wilmingtoii,  Delaware,  to  attend  school.  While  in 
Wilmington  he  served  a  regular  apprenticeship  at 
blaclismithing  in  Brnndyv/ine  Village,  Del.  Shortly 
after  becoming  of  age  he  went  to  New  York  City  and 
worked  a  short  time  at  machine  work.  In  the  spring  of 
1839  he  went  to  Marietta,  Ohio,  and  followed  black- 
smithing  until  1842.  He  ironed  two  vessels  at  INIarietta 
and  two  at  Point  P!ea>ant,  Va.  One  of  the  latter  was  a 
double  decked  bark,  loaded  at  the  mouth  of  tlie  Big 
Kanawha,  Va.,  with  corn  for  Cork,  Ireland,  during  the 
Irish  famine. 

As  a  steamboat  captain  and  engineer,  he  became 
well  known  along  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi  rivers.  He 
was  captain  in  the  militia  at  Marietta  for  several  years. 

In  the  spring  of  1855  he  removed  to  Buchanan, 
Michigan,  where  he  became  prominently  connected 
with  all  matters  of  public  interest,  both  officially  and  in 
a  private  way. 

Mrs.  P.ichards  still  resides  on  the  homestead  in 
Buchanan,  Michigan.

When  the  war  was  ended  and  when  he  was  over

Dutch  Reformed  Church.  He  did  not,  however,  upon 
entering  the  new  calling,  abandon  the  old  one,  but 
went  about  among  his  people  as  indeed  the  beloved 
physician,  diligent  in  his  labors  for  their  spiritual  and 
bodily  health.  After  his  ordination,  he  removed  to 
Virginia,  remaining  there  with  his  motherless  children 
two  years,  and  in  1791  removed  into  the  bounds  of  Red- 
stone Presbytery.  He  became  Pastor  of  Dunlap  Creek. 
Fayette  County,  but  gave  a  portion  of  his  time  lo

and  ministered  to  two  congregations,  traveling  to  dis-

at  "Basking  Ridge,"  New  Jersey. 

From  the  "Story  of  an  Old  Farm,"  by  Andrev/  D. 
Millick,  Jr.,  page  159,  we  copy  the  following: 

"Basking  Rtdge,  in  Bernards  Township,  already  possessed  a 
li'iurishing  community  with  a  well  established  Presbyterian 
Church  under  the  charge  of  a  Seotcli  worthy,  the  Beverend 
Siuuuel  Kennedy.*  His  education  had  been  gained  at  Edinburgh 
I  niversity,  and  coming  to  America  he  was,  in  1751,  ordained 
pastor  of  this  congregation,  which  he  faithfully  served  for  thirty- 
i^ix  years  at  a  salary  of  one  hundred  and  teu  pounds. 

"lu  addition  to  his  ministerial  duties  he  practiced  medicine,

"Dr.  vSamuel  Kenned)  Jennings  was  born  in  E.s.se-.K 
County,  New  Jersey,  June  (J,  1771,  and  died  iu  Lialti- 
more,  Md. ,  Oct  19,  1854.  His  parentage  was  highly 
respectable,  influential  and  educated.  His  grand-fatuev 
on  his  mother's  side — Rev.  Dr.  Kennedy,  of  Scotti.s)i 
birth — was  a  man  of  distinguished  piety  and  learning. 

"Under  the  tuition  of  such  a  preceptor  (for  the  edu- 
cation of  Dr.  Jennings  was  under  hi.s  direction),  it  n5.'.y 
be  supposed  that  the  pupil  was  admirably  taught.  Tl.c 
old  gentleman  used  to  tell  his  grandson,  in  order  to  in- 
cite him  to  diligent  stud}-,  that  his  mother,  v.-l;e;; 
young,  would  spin  a  pound  of  cotton  a  da}',  and  yd 
keep  up  with  her  brothers  in  her  Latin  lessons.  V.  >■ 
mention  these  things  to  show  how  favorable  were  h:.- 
antecedents  to  the  securement  of  a  thorough  and 
elegant  education." 

In  1790  he  was  graduated  from  Rutgers,  aiv: 
studied  and  practiced  medicine  for  a  few  years  n'- 
Pennsylvania, 

At  this  period  of  his  life,  young  Jennings  was  ?■ 
skeptic.  But  from  a  conver.satiou  had  by  him  wiih  •'- 
Methodist  preacher  in  his  father's  house,  he  was  led  :<■• 
give  over  his  erroneous  notions,  and  became  an  enthu- 
siastic Christian.  In  1794  he  became  an  itinerant  Mi-'- 
ister  in  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  and  in  !■"*' 
was  ordained  an  Elder. 

"And  such  a  Preacher  as  he  was  I  Diifernig  i- 
style  and  manner  from  all  others, — purely  e.rten:]  '-'i"''" 


THIRD   GENERATION.  191 

ueoufi,  yet  systematic,  analytical,  wonderfully  conipre- 
heusive  iu  his  grasp  of  thought,  and  with  a  diction  that 
fiowed  like  a  river,  full,  abundant,  clear  aud  sparkling, 
pre-eminently  practical  and  thoroughly  evangelical, 
Dr.  Jennings  rose  at  once  to  the  highest  eminence  as  a 
pulpit  orator.  And  he  was  great ! — great  in  the  essen- 
tial element  of  true  greatness;  a  heart  instinctively 
noble  in  all  the  generosities  of  humanity,  and  intellect 
of  the  highest  order,  and  heart  and  intellect  both  under 
the  constant  influence  of  tlie  Spirit  of  holiness." 

The  follov/ing  anecdote  V\'e  give  as  an  illustration 
of  Dr.  Jenning's  power  in  his  prime: 

Tn  the  spring  of  1S18,  \\hile  on  n,  vir-it  to  Baltimore,  T  was 
iuviU'd  liy  a  friend,  Eev.  James  Armstrong,  to  accompany  him  to 
ilie  AVilk  Street  jMcthodist  Episcopal  Churcli,  to  hear  the  great 
iJr.  Jennings  preach.  At  the  time  referred  to  there  was  a  gracious 
revival  of  religion  iu  progress  iu  that  station,  then  under  the  p:;s- 
loral  care  of  Rev.  John  Davis.  The  appointment  was  at  11 
o'clock,  Sunday  morning.  Although  I  arrived  a  full  hour  before 
the  time,  I  found  the  place  crowded  to  over-flowing,  so  that  it 
wa*  with  some  dillicult y  tliat  I  could  obtain  a  seat.  The  te:;t  was 
taken  from  I  Gor.  1 :21.  "For  after  that  in  wisdom  of  God  the 
world  by  wisdom  knew  not  God,  it  pleased  God  by  the  foolishness 
ofprcacliing  to  save  them  that  believe."  I  was  then  too  young 
and  too  imperfectly  acquainted  with  theology  to  under.siaud  fully 
I'lid  ofcourse  to  appreciate  the  masterly  manner  in  which  he  treated 
tlie  subject,  yet,  one  thing  I  distinctly  remember,  he  simplified 
bis  views  very  mucli  towards  the  end  of  the  sermon,  reuiarkiug: 
"God,  toliide  pride fromnian,  often  uiakesuseof  the  most  unlikely

while  every  bosom  glowed  as  a,  furnace  seven  iimes  heated.  In 
the  course  of  the  summer  Caroline  Street  Church  was  c-oniiiienc.d. 
The  lot  selected  for  the  buildiug  was  thou  a  large  sand  hill,  rtmr, 
which  the  Doctor  addressed  the  largest  asseiiibly  ever  brouglii 
together  iu  Baltimore  for  such  an  occasion. 

1  met  Dr.  Jeuuiugs  a  day  or  two  before  his  dectrase,  at  (bf 
corner  of  Baltimore  and  Calvert  Streets,  and  thought  I  had  no' 
seen  him  look  better  for  some  years  past.  I  was  much  surpiitoO 
iu  reading  Friday  morning's  paper  to  see  his  death  announced,  an.i 
that  the  funeral  would  take  place  at  1  o'clock.  I  hastened  up  t.> 
Dr.  Owings',  his  devoted  son-in-law,  at  whose  liouse  he  died,  .nud 
arrived  just  iu  time  to  hear  the  closing  remarks  of  that  eloquent 
mini.ster,  Mr.  Stockton. 

As  I  stood  by  tlie  coffin  and  gazed  for  the  last  time  on  ll.v- 
placid  countenance  of  the  venerable  man,  who,  more  than  tiiiriy 
years  ago  filled  my  eyes  and  warmed  my  heart,  the  v.ords  of  2iir. 
Wesley  came  forcibly  to  my  mind.  They  were  spoken  wiih 
reference  to  the  life  and  death  of  V/illiam  Eduaonsou,  a  pio'J^ 
Quaker,  from  whom  he  differed  ui:)onsome  ])oiuts  of  doctrine  an^i 
discipline:  ''"WJjen  I  die  let  my  sjiirit  be  with  the  spirit  i^' 
William  Edmonson."  So  I  say  of  Dr.  Jennings,  thougli  wi 
honestly  differed  xipon  some  points  of  church  policy  :  "  Whea  1 
die  let  my  spirit  be  with  the  spirit  of  Samuel  K.  Jennings." 

Baltimore,  Oct.  23,  1854.  W.  Hamilton. 

"For  several  montlis  before  his  death,  he  was  c.\- 
pecting  his  dissolution.  Almost  every  night,  when  ].<: 
would  retire,  as  his  daughter,  Mrs.  Owings,  wouic 
accompau}'  him  to  his  chamber  and  give  him  the  accus- 
tomed kiss  of  affection  as  she  bade  him  'good  nigh;,' 
he  would  say  to  her  :  'Mary,  my  child,  if  you  shoiilo. 
find  the  old  man  dead  in  the  morning,  remember  ihi'<'- 
he  was  not  afraid  of  death.' 

"  'Preciou,s  in  the  sight  of  the  I^ord  is  the  death  c: 
His  saints.'  'Precious  in  the  memory  of  the  Church  is 
the  name  of  Samuel  K.  Jennings.'" 

The  following  is  contributed  by  one  who  kne'-^' 
Dr.  Jennings : 

Tliirty  j-ears  ago  no  hou.se  of  worship  iu  this  citj'  would  C'lH- 
tain  the  congregations  that  assembled  to  hear  tliis  eloqui-i^' 
preacher  of  the  gospel.  His  manner  was  all  geuerou?,  his  ni.i:i'-'' 
solid  and  strictly  evangelical  and  his  extcmj>orancou'i  ability  ; 
remarkable,  perliaps,  as  thai  of  any  other  man  w))o  ever  slooil  i: 
the  pulpit.     We  lieard  a   brotlier  once   state    th..t  on   a  crrl;ii': 


THIRD   GENERATION.  193 

oooasion,  having  called  T>r.  Jennings  to  the  pulpit,  he  requested 
liini  to  officiate  in  his  stead  as  he  was  unwell.  After  having  con- 
sc-ntecl,  the  Doctor  said,  "Wliile  i  read  a  hymn,  brother,  select 
tlie  text  you  intended  to  preach  from."  The  brother  was  some- 
what surprised  at  such  a  request,  but  knowing  T)r.  Jennings,  he 
did  so,  and  after  the  pveliniinarios  the  preacher  arose  and  with 
fvery  indication  of  systeiii,  and  with  his  wonted  .nbility  and  dis- 
crimination, proceeded  to  tlie  explanation  and  enforcement  of  the 
passage,  too,  bj-  no  jneaus  leading  to  the  ordinary  and  rroudeu 
paths  of  pulpit  declamation. 

But  Dr.  Jennings  is  not  now  what  lie  was  thirty  years  ago. 
After  an  absence  of  eight  years  from  Baltimore,  he  has  returned  a 
feeble  old  man.  T)ie  passer-by  pauses  on  the  street  to  notice  tlae 
beading  form  and  the  feeble  step  of  a  venerable  personage,  whom 
he  is  at  first  at  a  loss  to  recognize,  but  a  prolonged  examination 
reveals  what  was  ones  the  noble  person  so  famiiiar  to  the  Metho- 
dist (^opjmuiiity  of  this  city.  What  changes  time  makes!  It  is 
sad  to  look  upon  such  a  transformation;  but  the  sadness  is 
mingled  with  a  resjiect  approaching  reverence  when  we  remember 
what  he  once  was,  while  his  godly  life  assures  us  what  he  will 
soon  become. 

A  few  moments  conversation  will  serve  to  show  those  who 
enjoy  this  privilege,  that  in  meeting  Dr.  Jennings  we  meet  a 
mind  majestic,  though  its  tenement  is  in  ruins.  We  have  been 
favored  with  repeated  interviews  since  his  return,  and  in  each 
have  discovered  frequent  glimpses  of  the  great  heart  and  intellect 
of  this  father  in  Israel. 

Dr.  Jennings  is  eiglily-three  years  of  age.  Until  two  or  three 
years  since,  he  was  able  to  practice  in  his  profession,  and  occa- 
sionally to  preach.  But  a  stroke  of  paralysis  has  rendered  the 
prospect  of  physical  exertion  for  the  future  almost  hopeless. 

Of  his  valuable  labors  in  the  cause  of  reform,  his  self  sac- 
rifice and  his  uncompromising  adherence  to  principle  throughout 
tlie  whole  of  that  memoralile  conflict, the  Chui'ch  is  well  informed. 

As  we  look  upon  him  we  are  reminded  of  the  exquisite  lines 
of  Holmes: 

They  s:iy  that  in  his  prime. 
Ere  the  pruuijig  knife  of  Time 

Cut  him  down, 
Kot  a  nobler  man  was  foivuX 
By  the  Crier,  oi;  his  r<>und 
Tin-oui;h  the  town. 

But,  now,  he  waliis  the  streets. 
And  he  looks  at  all  he  meets, 

Sad  and  wan  ; 
And  he  shakes  !iis  feeble  head, 
That  it  seems  r.s  if  lie  said, 
Tiiov  are  gone  !

It  is  much  to  be  regretted  that  numy  of  tlie  facts  ]i: 
the  life  of  Obadiah  Jennings,  D.  D.,  v.'ho  was  distin- 
guished for  great  natural  ability,  sound  and  jjoiishcd 
learning,  genuine  piety,  sturdy  molality  and  eminent 
usefulness  to  his  da}'  and  race,  a  man  upon  Y>']Kim  v.';-^ 
conferred  the  highest  honors  of  church  and  college,  aiul 
who  attained  eminence  in  two  honored  professions,  aie 
now  inaccessible.  Such,  however,  is  the  fact;  and 
while  we  viev/  it  with  regret,  it  but  gives  us  a  greater 
incentive  to  persevere  in  our  work  and  rescue  from 
oblivion  and  put  on  permanent  record  such  notes  of  th-^ 
lives  of  this  family  as  may  still  be  obtained.  Obadisl". 
Jennings  was  born  near  Baskingridge,  New  Jersey,  Dec 
13,  1778,  and  died  iu  Nashville,  Tenn.,  Jan.  ]2,  l.S;!-J 
He  came  v.'ith  his  father  from  New  Jersey  to  Virgin;:! 
about  th-C  '3-ear  1789,  the  family  removing  to  Fayette 
County,  Pennsylvania,  in  171-tl. 

As  v,'e  have  said,  Br.  Jennings  was  a  man  of  snp^'i- 
ior  natural  abilities,  and  being  possessed  of  those  po;);:- 
lar  qualities  which  insure  success,  and  liberally  educat-c; 
in  the  arts  and  sciences,  he  looked  to  the  profes.sioii  o. 
the  law  as  a  proper  field  for  the  exercise  of  his  powei!' 
After  completing  his  course  of  stud>  at  the  Canno;;.- 
burg  Academy,  he  entered  the  law  office  of  Jo'"' 
Simonlou,  of  Washington,  Pa. ,  as  a  student,  and  af'-'.-: 
successfully  pursuing  the  prescribed  course  of  study,  ;••' 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  and  began  the  practice  of  l^''^ 
in  Washington,  Pa.,  about  ISOO,  and  perhaps  tlie  snni'- 
year  moved  to  Steubcnville,  Ohio,  v/here  he  was  a  ••^■■i'' 
cessful  lawyer  until   1811,  Vidien  he  removed  to  '\\---'" 


THIRD   GENERATION.  197 

iugtou,  Pa.,  intending  to  continue  the  practice  of  law 
in  the  courts  both  of  Pennsylvania  and  Ohio. 

About  the  time  of  his  return  to  Washington,  Pa., 
he  joined  the  Presbyterian  Church,  and  soon  after  was 
chosen  a  ruling  elder  of  the  church  in  that  place.  Kis 
success  as  a  lawyer  had  been  immediate,  and  although 
young  and  but  a  recent  Kieniber  of  the  bar  which 
boasted  many  noted  names,  he  soon  was  known  as  "a 
distinguished  lawyer." 

But  he  felt  another  call  upon  him  and  while  doubt- 
less he  took  broad  views  of  lite,  and  would  not  deny 
that  those  who  aimed  at  distinction  might  have  no 
ignoble  motive,  yet,  for  him,  he  felt  that  fame  and  gain 
must  not  be  the  object  of  his  life's  work.  He  would 
make  duty  well  performed  and  usefulness  to  mankind 
tlie  guides  of  his  life.  Governed  by  these  motives,  we 
Sud  him  abandoning  a  profession  in  which  he  had  not 
only  the  promise,  but  in  a  large  measure  the  possession 
of  success  and  distinction,  to  go  into  a  calling  which 
then,  in  a  new  country,  could  hold  out  the  prospect  of 
little  of  comfort  and  no  luxury.  He  was  a  man  right 
loyal  to  his  convictions ;  a  man  who  lived  for  duty,  and 
v.-as  willing  to  follow  an3'where  at  the  command  of  that 
"  stern,  but  beautiful  daughter  of  the  voice  of  God.'' 

In  the  year  1816  he  was  licensed  to  preach  b}'  the 
I'resbytery.  He  studied  divinity  probably  at  the  Col- 
lege of  New  Jersey,  now  Princeton,  from  which  he 
received  his  degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity.  Having 
been  ordained  a  minister,  in  1817  he  accepted  a  call 
to  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  Steubenville,  Ohio, 
and  continued  their  pastor  six  5'ears.  He  then  accepted 
a  call  to  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  Wa.shingtou,  Pa., 
and  removed  there  in  182-3.  After  a  pastorate  of  five 
years  there,  he  accepted  acnll  to  the  Presbyterian  Church 
of  Nashville, Tenn.,  where  he  died  Jan.  12,  18S2,  and  was 
there  buried.  He  v/as  at  o;ie  time  President  cf  the 
Washington  and  Jefferson  College,  at  Wasliington,  Pa. 

Of  his  ministerial  life  we  can  justly  say  that  liis 
uaiura!   gilts,  his  bro.ul  cullun^  iiis  sturdy  loyalty  to 


198  DKSCF,NDANTS   OF  JACOB 

duty  aud  his  ccrdial  support  of  all  the  aggiesive  v,-or;-: 
of  the  church.,  brought  him  iuto  an  unsought  pvou!;- 
nence.  He  was  a  progressive  man,  v/illing  to  wel- 
come new  measures  if  they  commended  themselves  tu 
his  judgment,  obeying  the  apostolic  precept:  Try  o'.. 
things  ;  hold  fast  to  that  which  is  good."  His  learnt.i 
attainments  were  recognized  by  the  bestowal  of  ti-.c 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity  upon  him.  His  pulpit 
abilities  brought  him  to  the  charge  of  the  Presbyteriri!! 
Church  of  Steubenville,  Ohio,  then  one  of  the  racsi 
important  churches  of  the  west. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  Ohio  Presbytery  and  whe:: 
the  Steubenville  Presbytery  was  formed  in  1819.  he  wa'^ 
one  of  the  leaders.  He  was  at  once  elected  a  membi  r 
of  the  standing  committee  on  "Missions"  and  also  of 
an  educational  society,  auxiliary  to  the  educalioii.il 
society  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  this  proving  thatht- 
was  a  man  of  spirit  and  energy  and  in  sympathy  ^'-il); 
the  progressive  movements  upon  which  the  churches  ci 
the  land  were  then  entering.  While  some  held  aioc! 
and  others  busied  themselves  with  finding  objection."-, 
theoretical  and  practical,  he  and  his  associates  enterec 
heart  and  soul  into  the  work  of  "  Missions  and  Educ.-.- 
tion.''  It  was  the  day  when  foundations  were  laid  a;::: 
it  was  the  privilege  and  joy  of  Dr.  Obadiah  Jennings  to 
help  lay  deep  and  strong,  the  foundations  of  that  grea'. 
aggressive  work  which  is  the  glory  of  the  churcli  »'■: 
to-day. 

By  consulting  the  records  of  the  Steubenvil'e 
Presbytery,  we  find  that  at  a  meeting  of  that  body  .'■'. 
Black  vSprings,  April  18,  1820,  Dr.  Jennings  was  cliose:. 
a  Commissioner  to  the  General  Assembly.  At  a  uicc-;- 
iug  at  Two  Ridges,  April  16,  1S22,  hewas  again  .seJec't.'' 
to  fill  th.at  office.  But  a  still  greater  honor  v,-as  in  fl'^" 
for  him.  At  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  t!:i 
highest  ofluice  in  the  gift  of  the  Church,  the  Modeif.i'  :■ 
ship  of  that  body,  was  Vjy  a  vote  of  the  Commissiono:--

Jonathan  Jennings  was  the  seventh  child  of  Dr. 
Jacob  and  Mary  [Kennedy)  Jennings.  It  was  granti.J 
to  this  son  to  tak;e  a  prominent  part  iu  the  affairs  of  the 
nation,  and  to  mould  v^ith  a  master's  hand  the  charac- 
ter and  destiny  of  a  great  common-wealth.  He,  as  all 
the  children  of  Dr.  Jacob  Jennintrs,  -was  born  in  Nev.- 
Jersey.  While  still  a  child  he  v/as  taken  by  his  father 
to  Fayette  County,  Pennsylvania,  and  it  -was  there, 
probably,  that  he  received  his  education.  After  a  life 
of  eminent  usefulness  and  distinct-ion,  he  died  at 
Charleston,  Indiana,  in  1834.      He  left  no  childre-a. 

It  is  -with  a  feelino;  of  gratilication  and  honest  price 
and  also  of  devout  gratitude  that  we  trace  the  caieer  cf 
this  man,  who,  always  loyal  to  his  convictions,  v;hich 
were  true  to  Truth,  played  so  important  a  part  in  the 
early  history  of  tlie  Northwest.  He  bsttlcd  riuiufully 
for  the  cause  of  right  and  freedom,  and  his  views  on  th': 
dignity  of  humanity  were  so  exalted  and  so  juist,  tl::^.'. 
his  conception  of  Freedom  was  as  broad  as  humanity 
He  knew  that  freedom  is  the  God-given  heril-Tgc  ol 
every  man,  the  birthriglu  of  e\'ery  child  of  God  ;  aiu'1 
when  greed  and  ambition  would  rob  men  of  thi.-;  lie:;- 
tage,  and  vvould  make  a  commonwealth  their  partnc: 
in  crime,  Jonathan  Jenning?,  In;;-  to  his  sense  of  justice 
and  right  and  true  to  the  teachings  of  his  youth,  man- 
fully opposed  then,  and  gaining  a  victory  for  Frcedoui, 
saved  a  commonwealth  to  tiie  "Truth  of  Man.'' 

Like  all  the  children  of  Dr.  Jacob  Jenniug'^,  Joi'-''

eutered  professions.  Jonathan  was  a  lawyer.  It 
appears  that  very  ."^oon  after  his  admission  to  ti>c  bar  he 
went  to  Indiana,  for  in  1806  we  find  him  taking  a 
prominent,  indeed  the  leading  part  in  the  affairs  of  the 
Territory.  He  was  a  very  young  man,  doubtless  the 
junior  of  most  of  the  attorneys  and  politicians  with 
whom  he  was  associated ;  but  his  wealth  of  intellect 
and  force  of  character  brought  him  to  the  front  and 
made  him,  despite  his  youth,  the  leader  and  represen- 
tative of  the  better  element  in  the  Territory. 

That  the  character  and  value  of  his  services  may  be 
appreciated,  it  -may  be  well  to  consider  the  circum- 
stances in  which  he  v/as  placed.  By  the  ordinance  of 
1787,  as  is  well  known.,  slavery  was  forever  prohibited 
in  the  great  Northwest  Territory,  from  which  several 
commonwealths  have  been  formed ;  commonwealths 
which  by  the  intelligence,  morality  and  thrift  of  their 
inhabitants  demonstrate  the  truth  of  the  principles  of 
the  ordinance  and  reflect  credit  upon  both  the  judgment 
and  motives  of  the  author  of  that  celebrated  document. 
But  the  principles  of  freedom  embodied  in  the  ordinance 
were  not  permitted  to  have  undisputed  supremacy.  The 
"outhern  portion  of  Indiana  was  largely  settled  by 
people  from  the  southern  states,  where  slavery  was  not 
onl)'  a  recognized  but  an  approved  institution.  These 
people  naturally  v.'ished  to  bring  their  customs  with 
them  in  their  new  homes.  But  the  ordinance  stood  in 
the  way  of  slavery  and  so  they  made  an  organized 
effort  to  have  the  ordinance  repealed.  It  was  iipon  this 
issue  that  the  campaign  for  Delegate  to  Congress  was 
made  in  1806.  The  pro-slavery  party  was  aggressive 
and  the  friends  of  freedom  became  justly  alarmed. 
Tliey  realized  tliat  the  destiny  of  tl\e  future  state 
depended  upon  that  election,  and  diey  determined  to 
make  a  strong  fight  for  the  protection  of  human  liberty. 
Tliey  found  their  leader  in  Jonathan  Jciinings,  whom 
they  nominated  for  the  ofrice,  and  who  conducted  his 
campaign  with  so  much  energy  and  wisdom  that  he  led 
his  parly  triumphantly  Ic  victory. 


202  DESCENDANTS   OK   JACOB 

The  state  was  saved  and  the  gloi}'  of  the  victory 
was  in  a  large  degree  due  to  this  ''man  of  convictions,'' 
Jonathan  Jennings.  He  served  as  Delegate  to  Congress 
until  the  admission  of  Indiana  as  a  state,  in  1S16,  (beinc^- 
three  times  elected  to  Congress).  Then  the  people,  in 
recognition  of  his  past  services,  his  worth  of  charac'ccv 
and  ability,  elected  him  their  first  Governor. 

To  him,  thus,  was  largely  intrusted  the  framing  of 
the  constitution  of  the  new  state,  and  of  giving  form 
and  direction  to  those  tendencies  which  determine  the 
character  of  a  common wealtli.  But  the  people  were 
not  yet  satisfied  with  the  honors  which  they  had 
bestowed  upon  him,  and  that  his  name  and  the  memoiy 
of  services  might  live  in  the  hearts  of  their  descendants, 
they  named  in  his  honor  one  of  the  counties  in  the 
state  for  which  he  had  done  so  much  and  in  the  pros- 
perity of  which  he  took  so  much  manly  pride. 

At  length,  freed  from  the  cares  and  demands  of 
public  life,  laying  aside  the  pressing  burden  of  civic 
duties,  he  retired  to  his  home  in  Charleston.  It  ni&y 
be  that  he  anticipated  years  of  quiet  comlort  and  erse 
in  the  rest  which  he  had  so  well  earned.  But  it  was 
not  to  be;  in  the  full  possession  of  his  powers  and  in 
the  enjoyment  of  tlie  earthly  honors  shov.-ered  upon 
him,  in  the  year  1834,  at  the  age  of  fifty  years,  he  was 
called  to  the  everlasting  reward  of  righteousness.

BROOKVILI.E,  iNn.,  Nov.  30,  1894. 

The  State  of  Indiana  has  tardily  done  honor  to  the 
memory  of  one  of  her  earliest  and  most  illustrious  sous. 
After  sixty  j'ears  of  forgetfuluess  she  has  raised  a  mon- 
ument of  granite  over  the  ashes  of  her  first  Governor, 
Jonathan  Jennings. 

Governor  Jennings  has  lain  in  a  forgotten  and  un- 
marked grave  for  half  a  century,  when  men  again  began 
to  remember  his  wonderful  achievements  in  the  early 
politics  of  the  state,  his  heroic  services  as  the  first  dele- 
gate to  the  National  Congress,  and  his  strong  hand  iu 
shaping  and  controlling  the  destiny  of  the  infant 
Hoosier  State. 

In  1862  an  unsuccessful  atvempt  was  made  to  se- 
cure an  appropriation,  by  the  Legislature  of  Indiana, 
for  the  purpose  of  erecting  a  monument  to  the  memory 
of  the  first  Governor ;  but  it  was  not  until  ten  years 
later,  at  the  last  session,  that  the  appropriation  was 
secured. 

The  stoiiC  is  seven  feet  tall  and  five  feet  wide  at  the 
bate.     The  following  inscription  is  inscribed  upon  its 

face ;

Erected  iiudei'  tlie  Act  of 
'Ilie  General  A.sseuibly. 

Mr.  Jennings  came  into  prominence  in  Indiana  as 
tlie  Clerk  of  the  territorial  Legislature.  He  gained 
quite  an  acquaintance  with  the  leading  men  of  that 
da)',  and  ■.vhcn,  in  1809,  Indiana  became  entitled  to  a 
delegate  in  Congress,  he  was  made  the  anti-.slavery 
candidate,  and,  after  a  hard  fougiit  contest,  was  elected. 

During  this  campaign  the  pro-slavery  men  tried 
every  way  to  involve  Jenuinf-s  in  a  duel,  but  he  a^••oided

it.  lu  1811  he  was  re-elected,  and  ap;am  in  1S13  -was 
elected.  On  the  28th  of  December,  1815,  Mr.  Jennings 
presented  a  bill  to  Congress  to  enable  the  people  to 
take  the  necessary  steps  toward  statehood.  Delegates 
were  elected  to  a  convention  to  form  a  State  Constitn- 
tion,  and  Mr.  Jennings  was  appointed  as  one  of  the 
delegates  from  Clark  County.  The  Convention  met  iu 
Corydon  ou  the  10th  of  June,  1816,  and  Jonathan 
Jennings  was  made  President.  After  a  nineteen  days' 
session,  it  gave  to  the  people  a  Con.stitution,  under 
which  the  State  was  governed  for  thirty-four  years. 
G6v.  Jennings  had  much  to  do  in  shaping  the  policy  of 
the  new  State.'  His  ripe  experience  in  matters  politi- 
cal, made  him  the  logical  leader  in  the  Couveutiou. 

On  the  first  Monday  in  August,  181G,  the  citizens 
of  Indiana  voted  for  the  State  Officers  under  the  Con- 
stitution. Jonathan  Jennings  was  elected  Governor. 
He  received  5,211  votes.  His  competitor  was  Thomas 
Posey,  then  Territorial  Governor  of  Indiana.  The 
.slavery  question  was  made  the  issue  of  this  exciting 
caojpaign.  Jennings  was  an  anti-slavery  man,  and  he 
won  by  a  majority  of  1,277  votes  over  his  opponent. 
Here  is  an  incident  of  this  campaign: — The  farm  hands 
of  Wm.-  Blotcher  were  busily  engaged  iu  chopping 
wood  iu  the  .spar.sely  settled  district  of  Scotl  County, 
when  a  comparatively  young  man  walked  into  the 
clearing,  clad  in  linsey,  and  asked  I\Ir,  Blotcher  if  he 
could  speak  to  the  wood  choppers.  Mr.  Blotcher  being 
a  thrifty  German,  objected  to  having  his  men  inter- 
rupted, but  told  the  young  man  if  he  would  wait  until 
dinner  time  he  could  talk  all  lie  wished.  The  young 
mau  consented,  took  an  ax  and  went  into  the  wood 
with  a  \-im.  At  dinner  time  he  .shared  the  lunch  the 
men  had  with  them,  and  passed  the  meal  pleasant])'. 

After  dinner  he  made  known  unto  them  that  lie 
was  Jonathan  Jennings,  a  candidate  for  Governor.  He 
made,  them  an  eloquent  speech  on  the  issues  of  the 
campaign,  and  at  election  day  recei\'cd  the  \ole  of 
every  man  in   the  company.     Wm.   BlotcJier  wa;.;  ever

afterward  his  devoted  adlierent.  It  vras  the  Governor's 
habit  to  meet  the  people  ou  equal  footing.  He  vonld 
come  upon  them  at  their  barn-raisings  and  log-rollings, 
and  was  the  merriest  one  of  them  all.  He  got  hold  of 
the  hearts  of  the  people. 

His  neighbors  and  friends  were  ftill  of  joy  when 
the  news  of  his  election  was  received,  and  proposed  to 
give  him  a  grand  inaugural  ball  at  his  introduction  into 
office.  The  most  commodious  building  at  their  com- 
mand was  the  Lone  Tree  Tavern,  a  building  still  stand- 
ing in  Charleston.  Jtwas  a  stylish  building  in  those 
days.  There  were  th.ree  rooms  ou  the  first  floor,  and 
the  portion  above  stairs  was  one  large  room,  -which 
contained  cots  for  the  lodgers.  The  committee  secured 
this  large  room  in  which  to  hold  the  inaugural  ball. 
Fonr  fiddlers  furnished  the  music,  and  Governor  Jen- 
nings, clad  in  homespun  and  a  swallow-tail  coat,  his 
beautifiil  wife  on  his  arm,  led  the  grand  march  Vvith  the 
grace  of  a  knight. 

The  dance  continued  far  into  the  night.  All  went 
merry  as  a  marriage  l^ell,  and  tlie  first  inaugural  ball 
was  a  grand  success.  The  old  tavern  still  remains 
standing,  a  relic  of  the  past. 

Gov.  Jenuing.";  alv/ays  retained  his  residence  on  his 
farm,  three  miles  west  of  Charleston.  His  house  was 
built  of  hewn  logs,  and  a  long  porch  stood  at  its  front. 
It  was  a  story  and  a  half  high,  and  contained  five 
rooms.  Kere  the  Governor  lived  in  comfort.  He  was 
foud  of  raising  fine  stock,  and  was  the  first  man  to 
introduce  clover  seed  into  Indiana.  He  had  it  imported 
from  England  in  18-32,  and  paid  nearly  forty  dollars 
a  bii.sliel  for  it, 

His  first  wife  died  during  his  Governorship,  and  on 
the  lyth  of  October,  1827,  he  v/as  married  to  Miss 
Clarissa  Barbe.',  of  Kentucky,  in  th'e  Lone  Tree 
Tavern,  where  the  inaugural  ball  had  been  held.  His 
marriage  license  i.s  nov.  in  the  possession  of  ]\I.  P. 
Alpha,  cf  Charleston.  It  was  issued  by  John  Carr, 
Clerk.     The  Rev.  P.cason  R.  Hammond  performed  the 


206  DESCENDANTS   OF   JACOB 

ceremony.  Tlicy  went,  iuuiiediately  to  the  Gcvernor'.s 
farm  to  reside. 

The  Governor  was  the  owner  of  a  very  large  ai;d 
intelligent  Newfoundland  dog  that  lie  called  "Ca.sh," 
for  he  had  given  the  price  of  a  farm  for  him.  One  da,- 
while  he  was  playing  v.'ith  his  pet  in  front  of  his  hou?e, 
two  well-dressed  Koitucky  gentlemen  tcde  up  on  their 
horses  and  asked  if  Governor  Jennings  ^v^s  at  liouie. 
"He  is,"  said  the  Governor,  who  was  dressed  in  ihe 
careless  manner  of  a  farm  l;arid.  "Well,"  sidd  thenieu, 
"you  take  these  horses  to  the  stable  and  rub  tberadown, 
and  we'll  go  and  see  ihe  Governor."  And  so  sa}'ing, 
they  went  into  the  house.  Mrs.  Jennings  received  her 
guests  with  diguit}'.  Thej'were  prominent  politiciarjs 
who  had  come  to  consult  the  Governor. 

Jennings  had  given  the  horses  over  to  a  servant  as 
soon  as  the  men  were  indoors,  and  hastened  to  the 
house.  As  he  entered  and  was  introduced,  he  said, 
with  a  merr)'  tvfinkle  in  his  eye,  "Gentlemen,  I  have 
attended  to  your  horses,  now  what  can  I  do  for  you  ?" 

His  guests  were  dumfounded  and  embarrassed. 
They  realized  their  blunder,  and  their  eSorts  to  correct 
their  error  only  increased  the  merriment  of  their 
amused  host. 

Although  Gov.  Jennings  was  slovenly  in  his  dress, 
yet  he  was  a  handsome  man  of  commandiiig  presence. 
His  hair  v/as  light  and  his  eyes  were  blue.  He  was  a 
pleasing  conversationalist,  always  polite  and  courteous. 
On  the  platform  and  stump  he  was  a  forceful  and  logical 
speaker,  he  was  ready  with  his  yjen,  and  carried  a  per- 
sonality in  public  that  few  men  possessed.  He  ever 
refused  to  bow  to  the  dictations  of  the  politicians,  and 
whatever  his  faults  may  h^.ve  been,  his  rectitude  of 
character  was  unquestioned.

FOURTH    GENERATION.  209 

"Samuel  Kennedy  Jenniugs,  son  of  Samuel  Kennedy 
Jennings,  A.M.,  RI.D.,  D.D.,  was  born  in  Virginia  in 
1796.  He  moved  to  Baltimore,  Md.,  at  the  age  of  twenty, 
where  he  commenced  the  studj'  of  medicine  under 
his  father.  There  he  married  Miss  Elizalieth  Hood 
Owings.  She  lived  scarcely  a  year;  had  one  child, 
which  lived  but  a  few  montlis.  He  then  moved  to 
Alabama,  where  he  commenced  t];e  practice  of  medi- 
cine. There  he  married  Miss  Sarah  Murphy,  daughter 
of  Judge  Wm.  I\Iurphy.  He  resided  iu  yUabama  quite 
a  uumber  of  years,  v;here  he  amassed  a  considerable 
fortune.  From  thence  he  moved  to  Austin,  Texas. 
He  was  known  but  to  be  loved.  He  was  one  of  God's 
noblest  creation  The  poor  and  the  rich  honored  and 
revered  him  :  his  ears  v/ere  never  closed  to  the  cry  of 
the  poor.  It  is  of  these  golden  qualities  I  v,'ould 
speak.  To  know  him  as  a  brother  of  the  great  family 
of  man,  was  indeed  to  love  him.  His  heart  was  a  deep 
fountain  of  affection,  generosity  and  honor,  gushing  up 
with  the  most  spontaneous  sympathies,  and  the  warm- 
est emotions  of  a  manly  nature.  This  magnificence  of 
heart  was  the  index  to  the  character  of  his  earthl}'  man- 
hood. Wisdom  dictated  his  life,  and  virtue  sanctions 
its  liistory.  His  mind  was  a  store  house  of  wisdom,  and 
yet  his  heart  was  full  of  love  and  charity  to  his  fellov/mau. 

He  joined  the  M.  E.  Church  when  quite  a  young 
man,  and  v/as  ever  an  humble  follower  of  Jesus  Christ- 
After  residing  in  Texas  some  years,  he  moved  to 
Tennessee.  He  was  a  very  successful  and  eminent 
physician.  No  wor,5hip  was  ever  more  devoted  than 
that  which  he  brought  to  the  .shrine  of  his  profession. 
He  was  never  so  exhausted  as  to  close  his  ears  and 
heart  to  the  cry  of  the  poor;  and  when  death  came  to 
claim  its  own,  he  surrendered  as  a  great  and  noble  war- 
rior should.  He  died  in  Jackson,  Tenn.,  July  lo,  1877, 
His  devoted  wife  met  him  on  the  banks  of  the  surgeless 
river,  Nov.  10,  1879.  After  the  lapse  of  years,  his 
memory  is  fresh  and  greeu  in  the  hearts  of  his  children 
and  many  friends."

"Re.v.  Jacob  Mead  Jennings,  A.M.,  M.D. ,  wa.s  bom 
in  New  London,  CamXibell  County,  Va.,  June  4,  ]!<0i, 
and  died  iu  Greenville,  Ala.,  Oct.  1,  1872.  His  cailv 
boyhood  was  spent  in  L5'ucliburg  and  Norfolk,  \'a. 
His  father  removed  to  Baltimore,  Md.,  where  Jacob 
received  everj'  educational  advantage.  He  graduated 
witli  high  honors  at  the  University  of  Maryland,  and 
then  began  the  study  of  medicine  at  the  Medical 
College  of  Baltimore,  from  which  institution  he  received 
his  diploma.  Like  his  father  and  grand-father,  he  v,as 
a  line  classical  scholar;  was  also  master  of  the  F'rench 
language.  Soon  after  his  graduation  from  the  Medical 
College  and  his  marriage,  he  went  to  Virginia,  living 
for  a  while  near  the  Peaks  of  Otter,  and  afterward  in 
Suiithfield,  having  in  both  places  a  large  practice.  Hav- 
ing been  licensed  to  preach  by  the  ilethodist  Episcopal 
Church,  in  1827,  he  also  ministered  to  the  people  in 
spiritual  things. 

Ill  health  compelled  him  to  relinquish  his  work, 
and  he  returned  to  Baltimore,  where,  after  the  restora- 
tion of  health,  he  began  the  practice  of  his  profession. 
He  was  at  one  time  resident  physician  of  the  I\Iarine 
Hospital,  and  was  also  connected  with  the  medical  de- 
partment of  Washington  University  as  lecturer  on 
Medical  Jurisprudence. 

Like  his  father,  his  work  among  the  poor  was  a 
great  work.  Storm  nor  heat  nor  ill  health  never  kej^t 
him  from  responding  to  the  call  of  the  needy. 

He  left  the  M.  E"  Church  and  united  with  the 
iJetbodist  Piotestant  Church,  his  father  having  been 
one  of  tlie  organizers  of  that  church.  In  184SI  he  re- 
moved to  Tuscaloosa,  Ala.,  where  he  established  the 
school  wliich  afterward  became  the  Tuscaloosa 
Female  College.  He  then  united  v^ith  the  M.  E. 
Church  South,  and  in  18-53  joined  the  Alabama  Confer- 
ence, serving  different  stations  until  the  beginning  of 
the  Civil  War,  when  he  became  Chaplain  of  the  od 
Alabama  Regt.,  and  held  that  position  until  the  sum- 


FOURTH   GENERATION.  213 

mer  of  180)2,  wliea  failing- liealtli  compelled  him  to  re- 
tiiru  home.  He  was  iu  Richmond  at  the  time  when 
mauy  battles  v/ere  fought  near  that  cit)',  and  he  worked 
faithfully  among  the  sick  and  wounded  in  the  crowded 
hospitals,  both  as  physician  and  minister. 

His  intellect  was  of  a  high  order  and  was  cultivated 
by  home  and  collegiate  training  and  extensive  reading. 
Pie  was  a  brilliant  writer,  and  contributed  to  many 
magazines  and  papers.  The  last  few  weeks  of  his  life 
were  given  to  editing  a  paper  published  in  Greenville, 
Ala.  He  was  an  eloquent  speaker,  rising  often  to  the 
regions  of  the  sublime  ;  he  was  gifted  with  rare  conver- 
sational powers,  and  to  the  day  of  his  death  was  an  eager 
student,  thirsting  alv/ays  for  more  knov/ledge.  His  talent 
and  love  of  music  v>^ere  great,  his  voice  was  fme  and  well 
cultivated,  and  he  played  upon  difiereut  instruments. 
N  o  matter  how  busy  or  how  tired  he  was,  some  time  of  the 
twenty-four  hours  was  given  to  music.  It  raised  him 
above  the  every-day  duties  and  trials  of  life,  rested  him, 
refreshed  him.  Ke  almost  literalh'  died  upon  his 
knees,  for  he  was  praying  with  his  family  when 
stricken  with  paralj'sis.  He  lived  for  three  days,  then 
gently  breathed  his  last  and  "went  home,"  leaving  to 
wife  and  children  the  rich  legacy  of  a  noble  and  well 
spent  life.

Left  an  orphan  at  the  age  of  fuc  5'ears,  he  was  taken 
under  the  care  of  Rev.  Jacob  Jennings,  ]\I.  D.,  of  Dun- 
lap's  Creek,  Pa., where  he  spent  his  boyhood.  In  1818  he 
went  to  Washington,  Pa.,  to  enter  the  preparatory 
department  of  the  college  there.  Iu  1S19  he  entered  the 
academy  at  Steubenville,  O.,  where  his  uncle,  Rev. 
Obadiah  Jennings,  D.  D.,  was  pastor,  and  with  whose 
church  he  united  April  20,  1820.  In  May,  1820,  he 
became  a  student  of  Jefferson  College,  Canonsburgh, 
Pa.,  graduating  in  the  spring  of  1823.  Then  he  visited 
his  sister,  Mrs.  Mercer,  at  Cleveland,  O.,  at  that  time  a 
village  of  800  inhabitants.  While  there  he  received  an 
offer  to  becom.e  princijial  of  the  academy,  and  taught  all 
the  youth  of  the  tov.'u  with  tlie  exception  of  the 
smaller  5:cliolars. 

In  1821  he  entered  Princeton  Seminary,  N.  J.,  and 
was  licensed  to  preach  the  gospel  by  the  Presbytery  of 
New  Brunswick,  February,  1827,  graduating  also  at  the 
seminary  the  same  year.  On  leaving  Princeton  he 
became  an  agent  for  the  American  liible  Society,  and 
formed  in  Ohio  some  thirty-nine  societies  for  the  circu- 
lation of  the  Word  of  God.  In  1828  he  became  the 
stated  supply  of  the  First  Church  of  Washington,  Pl.., 


216  DESCHNDANl  <'  JACOB 

where  his  ministry  v.'as  greatl;  ssed  by  a  continuous 
revival  through  eifjht  or  nine  ths  resulting  in  the 

accession  of  some  eighty  persons  to  the  mcmbershii-i  of 
the  Church. 

In  1S29  he  became  editor  of  the  Christiati  Herald^ 
the  predecessor  of  the  Presbyterian  Banner.  On  June  24 
1829,  he  became  pastor  of  the  Sharon  Church,  and  in 
1830  pastor  of  the  Mt.  Pisgah  Church.  On  June  7th, 
1831,  he  was  married  to  Miss  Emma  Marie  Wilhelmina, 
the  daughter  of  Philip  L-.  and  Zelie  Passavant,  of 
Zelienople,  Pa.  In  1832  he  relinquished  the  Christian 
Herald.^  though  still  continuing  the  publication  of  the 
Presbyterian  Preacher  for  five  years  and  two  other 
small  volumes.  In  1837  he  opened  a  female  seminary, 
near  the  City  of  Pittsburgh.  In  1842  he  organized  the 
Temperanceville,  now  the  8th  Presbyterian  Church,  of 
Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  and  also  as  the  result  of  his  labors,  a 
revival  on  Neville  Island  led  to  the  organization  of  a 
church  and  the  erection  of  a  house  of  worship  there. 
Having  in  1846  four  organized  congregations  under  his 
care,  it  became  evident  that  his  pastoral  charge  was  too 
large,  accordingly  he  accepted  calls  from  Sharon  and 
Neville  Island  congregations  for  all  his  time  and  re- 
moved from  Temperanceville  to  J.'Ioon  Township,  near 
Sharon  Church,  April,  1848. 

In  185?  he  resigned  the  church  on  Neville  Island  to 
take  charge  of  the  Valley  Church  in  connection  with 
Sharon,  and  in  1867  became  pastor  of  Sharon  for  ail 
his  time.  During  this  j'ear  an  extensive  revival  began, 
that  resulted  in  the  ingathering  of  one  hundred  and 
eleven  persons  into  the  communion  of  the  church.  In 
June,  1879,  he  resigned  the  pastorate  of  Sharon  church, 
after  fifty  years  of  continuous  labor  in  that  field,  in 
connection  with  the  other  fields  named.  After  his 
resignation  he  became,  for  two  years,  stated  supplj"  of 
the  Riverdale  Church,  Shousetowu,  Pa.,  preaching  also 
for  his  brethern  and  writing  for  the  religious  papers,  as 
opportunity  afforded.

scriptural  and  forcible.  In  labors  he  was  more  aburd- 
ant,  havino;  an  extensive  field,  earnest  to  do  hi.s  Master's 
Will,  speaking  with  ease  and  having  his  knowledge  at 
ready  command.  He  generally  preached  on  the  »Sabbath 
during  Summer  thrice  and  sometimes  even  four  times 
and  at  all  times  as  occasion  afforded,  in  the  hojr.es  of 
the  sick  and  the  aged.  Possessed  of  a  sympathetic 
nature,  of  some  inherited  laste  and  acquired  knowledge 
of  medicine,  he  fjcquently  ministered  to  the  diseases  of 
the  body  as  well  as  those  of  the  mind  and  in  this  respect, 
also,  his  services  were  often  sought  and  much,  appi'eci- 
ated. 

During  his  ministry  of  fifty-seven  j^ears  he  performed 
an  immense  amount  of  pastoral  work,  and  he  was 
highly  esteemed  by  his  people,  and  his  name  was  held 
in  grateful  rem.emberance.  He  was  deeply  interested 
in  the  progress  of  missions.  He  v.'as  an  ardent  advocate 
of  the  temperance  cause  and  was  strongl}'  opposed  to 
human  slavery.  He  several  times  represented  his 
presbytery  on  the  floor  of  the  General  Assembly,  was 
choscii  Moderator  of  the  Synod  of  Pittsburgh  and 
received  the  decree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity  from  his  Alma 
j\Iater,  Jefferson  College,  at  Canuonsburg,  Pa. 

After  an  attack  of  cerebro  hemorrhages, lasting  four 
days,  he  died  Oct.  10, 1885,  aud  now  his  remains  repose 
in  vSharon  Cemetery,  in  the  midst  of  many  of  the  people 
to  whom  he  preached  and  for  whom  he  labored.  His 
monument  bears  the  fitting  inscription  : 

"They  that  be  v/ise  shall  sliiue  as  the  brightness  of  tlie  lirma- 
meut ;  aud  they  that  turn  ruauy  to  righteciisncss  as  the  stars  for- 
ever and  ever."— Dan.  12:3. 

Mrs.  Emma  Marie  Wilhelmina  Passavant  Jennings 
was  born  at  Zelienoxjle,  Pa.,  March  2, 1811,  aud  was  the 
daughter  of  Philip  Louis  aud  Zelie  Basse  Passavant. 

The  Passavant  family  were  of  Huguenot  extraction, 
who  left  France  in  1594,  and  settled  first  in  Switzerland, 
and  afterwards  a  branch  of  the  same  family  went  to 
Germany.     From  this  latter  branch  the  parents  of  Mrs.

Jeiiniugs  were  descended,  aud   they  came   from  Fraiil:- 
fort-OQ-the-]\Iain  to  Zelienople,  in  1807. 

Airs.  Jennings  was  carefully  trained  in  her  early 
years  by  an  intelligent  and  accomplished  mother,  and 
received  further  education  at  the  school  of  the  Misses 
Turnbull,  Baltimore,  Md.  She  was  confirmed  in  the 
German  Lutheran  Church  at  Zelienople,  Pa.,  and  after 
her  marriage  to  Dr.  Jennings,  June  7,  ISol,  her  mem- 
bership was  transferred  to  the  Presbyterian  Church. 

She  was  possessed  of  good  health  and  a  vigorous 
constitution,  of  good  judgment  also,  having  a  well  bal- 
anced and  symmetrical  mind. 

She  was  an  ideal  minister's  wife— active,industrious, 
prudent,  careful  and  economical.  She  was  a  most 
worthy  companion  aud  fitting  helper  to  her  husband. 
Earnest  in  doing  good,  interested  in  the  welfare  of 
others,  kind  and  sympathetic  toward  the  needy  and  the 
sufifering,  she  w-as  greatly  beloved  by  the  congregations 
where  she  lived. 

Cheerful,  amiable  and  unselfish,  .she  was  the  light 
and  joy  of  her  home  circle,  and  her  children  will  ever 
hold  her  in  blessed  remembrance.  Her  views  of 
religion  were  clear,  her  faith  was  strong,  her  piety  was 
simple,  her  patience  was  marked,  her  charity  was 
abundant,  her  sincerity  Vvas  unquestioned,  and  her 
whole  Christian  character  through  grace  was  beautiful. 
With  regard  to  furthering  the  advancement  of  her  Re- 
deemer's kingdom,  it  may  be  said  of  her,  "She  hath 
done  what  she  could,"  and  her  work  v.'ill  ever  follow 
her  and  brigiiten  her  eternal  reward. 

She  died  from  the  effects  of  a  fall,  in  which  her  left 
limb  was  fractured,  and  after  much  suffering  entered 
"the  rest  that  remaineth  for  the  people  of  God,"  May  H, 
18SS.  Her  earthly  tabernacle  reposes  beside  that  of 
her  husband  in  the  Sharon  Church  Cemetery.  She 
was  the  beloved  mother  of  six  children,  all  of  v.hom 
survived  her.

JACOB  JENNINGS  (Ebenezer  11.58,  Jacob  1133,  Jacob  3), 

son  of  Ebenezer  >t  Mercy  (Chldc-<>er)  Jenning.^. 
Born  Jau.  25,  1S05 

Died  Feb.  22,  lSo2    uear  Pittsburg,  Pa. 
Bur.  in  Cros.s  Creek  Cemetery,  Cross  Creek,  Pa. 
Bachelor. 

Jacob  Jennings  was  the  youngest  child  and  son  of 
Dr.  Ebenezer  and  Mercy  {Chidcsicr)  Jennings,  and  v>'as 
born  January  25,  1805,  near  Hurr;crtstown,  Washington 
County,  Pa. 

Left  an  orphan  at  a  very  early  age  (between  three 
and  four  year.s),  he  was  taken  under  the  care  of  kindred 
friends  whom  his  father  designated,  becoming,  probably, 
a  member  of  the  family  of  his  maternal  grandmother 
Chidester. 

At  the  age  of  ten  he  was  placed  under  the  care  of 
his  uncle,  Hon.  Jonathan  Jennings,  of  Indiana.  He 
graduated  with  honor  at  Washington  College  in  1S26, 
studied  lav^'  with  his  uncle,  already  mentioned,  and 
w-as  admitted  to  the  practice  of  law  in  the  state  of 
Indiana,  He  had  flattering  prospects  of  success  in  his 
profession,  but  "Death  who  loves  to  blast  life'5J  fairest 
vi-sion,"  marked  him  foi  its  victim.  Sitting  up  many 
nights  attendin,^  on  the  sick  when  an  epidemic  pre- 
vailed, broughl  oa  a  pulmonary  affection.  Though  not 
at  that  time  borne  up  with  Christian  b,.ope,  yet  the 
prayers  of  a  father  and  mother,  offered  when  he  was  a 
cliilu,  were  answered.  After  weeks  of  specinl  convic- 
tion, God.  in  His  great  mercy,  gave  him  a  most  remark- 
able deliverance,  and  enabled  j>lm  to  rejoice  in  the  Lord 
Jesus  as  bis  Saviour.  He  peacefully  fell  asleep  at  the 
home  of  his  brother,  Rev.  S.  C.  Jennings,  rear  Pitts- 
burg, Pa.,  Feb.  22,  1832,  being  twenty-seven  years  of 
age,  and  was  btuicd  beside  his  parents'  sleeping  dust  at 
Cross  Creek,  Pa.

election  fouglit  a  duel  with  his  competitor  for  the  of- 
iice.  He  was  twice  re-elected.  In  congress  he  went 
over  to  the  opposition  on  the  development  of  Jackson's 
bank  policy,  and  took  strong  ground  iu  favor  of  slavcr-y.

In  1857  he  was  second  to  William  J.  Graves,  of  Ken- 
tucky, in  his  duel  with  Jouathau  Cilley,  of  Maine,  in 
v;hich  the  latter  was  killed.  He  was  a  man  of  un- 
doubted ability,  and  had  great  influence  in  John  Tyler's 
administration,  and,  says  John  W.  Forney,  'Standing 
between  the  two  great  parties  in  the  house,  he  delighted 
in  his  isolation  and  rioted  in  the  eccentricities  of  his 
genius.'  In  18-12  the  senate  rejected  the  nomination 
of  Mr.  Wise  as  Minister  to  France,  but  he  was  subse- 
quently appointed  Mini.ster  lo  Brazil,  and  resided  at 
Rio  Janeiro  from  May,  1S4-J,  till  October,  1817.  In 
1848  and  1852  he  supported  the  democratic  candidates 
for  president.  He  was  elected  Governor  of  Virginia  in 
1855,  after  a  very  vigorous  canvass,  directed  especially 
against  the  '  Know-Nothings,'  whose  progress  he  did 
much  to  check  by  his  vigorous  oratory.  His  success, 
which  overturned  the  calculations  of  many  political 
prophets,  was  due  in  part  to  his  accusation  that  the 
'  Know -Nothings'  were  Abolitionists  in  disguise. 
Toward  the  close  of  his  term  occurred  the  seizure  of 
Harper's  Ferry  by  John  Brown,  whose  execution  on  2 
Dec,  1850,  was  one  of  the  last  acts  of  his  administra- 
tion. (See  Brown,  John).  In  February,  1861,  he  was 
a  member  of  the  State  convention,  in  which,  from  the 
committee  on  federal  relations,  he  made  a  report  that 
aimed  at  compromise,  and  a  peaceful  adjustment 
with  the  seceded  states.  After  the  secession  of  \'irginia 
lie  was  appointed  Brigadier  General  in  the  Confederate 
Army.  His  force  was  driven  out  of  Kanawha  Valley 
by  the  National  Troops  under  Gen.  Jacob  D.  Cox,  and 
at  Gauley  Bridge  lost  a  large  quantity  of  arms  and 
stores.  Subsequently  he  commanded  at  Roanoke 
Island,  N.  C,  where  his  forces  were  defeated  by  Gen. 
Ambrose  E.  Burnside's  expedition,  his  son,  Obadiah  J. 
Wise,  being  among  the  killed.  After  the  war  he 
resumed  the  practice  of  his  profession.  He  published 
'  vSeven  Decades  of  the  Union;  Memoir  of  John  Tyler'

Col.  George  Campbell  Childress,  at  the  time  of  his 
marriage  with  Rebecca  Stuart  Read  Jennings,  was  a 
widower.  He  was  a  son  of  Hon.  John  Childress,  one 
of  the  judges  of  Tennessee,  whose  family  consisted  of 
five  sons  and  five  daughters.  Four  of  the  daughters 
were  wives  of  judges,  one  being  the  wife  of  Judge  John 
Catron,  Associate  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the 
United  States.  Mrs.  James  K.  Polk  was  a  cousin  of 
Col.  Childress. 

Col.  Childress  was  a  meuiber  of  the  Bar  of 
Tennes.see,  and  especially  noted  in  criminal  cases.  He 
was  on  terms  of  intimate  friendship  with  Andrew  Jack- 
son when  President  of  the  United  ,States,  who  at  one 


224  DESCENDANTS    OF   JACOB 

time  offered  to  name  bim  for  Attorney  General  of  tlie 
United  Stales. 

The  mother  of  Col.  Childress  was  a  danghler  of 
General  James  Robertson,  tlie  founder  of  Nashville, 
Tennessee. 

Some  of  the  nncles  and  brothers  of  Col.  Childress 
settled  in  Texas  v.'lien  it  v/as  a  province  of  IMexico. 

It  was  their  influence,  together  with  a  large  num- 
ber of  other  friends,  who  went  fiom  Nashville  to  Texas 
at  that  time,  that  led  Col.  Childress  to  cast  in  his  lot 
among  them  in  that  state. 

He  interested  himself  there  at  once  in  all  the  plans 
and  efforts  intended  to  promote  the  unity  of  the  people 
for  engaging  in  an  earnest  struggle  for  independence, 
and  was  a  member  of  the  convention  which,  in  1S3G, 
met  to  make  a  declaration  of  the  independence  of 
Texas.  His  name  appears  not  onl}'  as  one  of  the  sign- 
ers to  the  declaration  which  was  adopted  by  that  con- 
vention, but  also  as  one  of  the  committee  v>'hich  drafted 
the  declaration  for  presentation  to  the  convention  for 
its  adoption. 

After  Texas  had  achieved  its  independence  Ccl. 
Childress  returned  to  Nashville,  Tenn.,  where  he  mar- 
ried his  second  wife  (Rebecca  vStuart  Read  Jennings)  in 
1842.  About  1344  he  went  again  to  Texas,  his  inten- 
tion then  was  to  remove  his  family  there  to  reside  per- 
manentl)',  but  soon  after  he  was  stricken,  with  fever  and 
died  very  suddenly  at  Galveston.  His  death  was  a 
severe  .shock  to  his  wife  ;  her  decline  was  quite  rapid. 
Hoping  that  the  milder  climate  of  Tuscaloosa,  Alabama, 
would  benefit  her,  .she  decided  to  go  there.  The  change 
brought  no  relief  and  she  died  there  in  the  care  of  her 
uncle,  Dr.  vSamuel  K.  J'ennin'^s,  at  the  hous-s  of  her 
daughter,  Mrs.  Marrast,  December  16,  1847.  Befoie 
she  left  Nashville  for  the  south  .she  gave  to  each  of  her 
two  young  daughters  a  Bible  as  a  last  parting  gift  to 
them  and  a  memento  of  her  love;  iu  each  her  nam.e  as

Jonathan  Giluiore  Jennings,  youngest  son  of  I)a\id 
Jennings,  was  born  April  28,  1822,  at  St.  Clairsville, 
Ohio.  His  education  was  received  at  tlie  "  Old 
Institiite,''  and  he  wr.s  a  class-mate  of  Senator  Rush 
Cowen.  Pie  stndled  law  fer  a  tiirie,  and  later  learned 
the  saddler's  trade  with  his  brother,  Jacob  Daily 
Jennings. 

In  1844  Jonathan  Gilmore  Jennings  removed  to 
Bridgeport,  Ohio,  where  he  formed  a  partnership  iu  the 
leatlier  business  with  David  Streiline.  All  the  products 
of  the  firm  were  hauled  across  the  mountains  to  Phila- 
delphia, where  they  met  with  a  ready  market.  Streiline 
eventually  proved  himself  a  rascal  by  decamping  with 
the  liorses,  wagons  and  greater  part  of  the  stock  of 
goods. 

On  June  2,  1846,  Mr.  Jennings  married  Sarah  Jane 
Taggart,  eldest  daughter  of  Joseph  Taggarl,  of  vSt. 
Clairsville.  This  ceremony  was  a  double  one.  Chailes 
H.  Arrick  and  Margaret  Eliza  Collins  being  married 
at  the  same  time.  The  Rev.  Mr.  J.  Alexander 
officiated. 

After  the  flight  of  hi.sdi.shouest  partner  in  business, 
Mr.  Jennings  returned  to  St.  Clairsville  ana  opened  a 
dry  goods  store.  A  few  years  later,  hearing  of  the 
wonderful  gold  discove;ies  in  the  wc.^t,  he  disponed  of 


FOURTH   GENERATION.  229 

his  stock  of  goocis  and  determined  to  start  for  Pike's 
Peak.  The  Central  Ohio  R.  R.  (now  B.  &  O).  had  just 
been  completed  as  far  as  Columbus,  and  he  went  to 
Bellaire  to  make  arrangements  for  the  first  stage  of  his 
long  journey  to  the  El  Dorado.  While  at  Bellaire, 
the  railroad  officials  offered  him  a  position  with  the 
road  and  he  accepted,  remaining  with  them  for  many 
years. 

In  1895  Mr.  Jennings  removed  to  Gas  City,  Ind., 
where  he  now  resides  with  his  daughter,  Theresa 
Murray. 

The  following  is  clipped  from  a  Gas  City  paper  of 
1895: 

"Last  Sundny  was  the  seventy-third  birlhcay  nuuiversary  of 
JoDathan  ,Tenuiu;rs,\v!no  lives  with  bi^  daughter,  IsIj's.  C.  A.  jSIiu-

Gas  City  from  Bellaire,  Ohio.  His  grandfather  vas  Cajitaiu  Jacob 
Jennings,  who  did  valiant  sei"\'iec  in  the  War  of  the  lievolulioii. 
His  father  settled  near  Bellaire  about  1812  and  v/aa  one  of  the 
most  proniiueut  citizens  in  that  part  of  the  state.  His  uncle, 
Jonathan  Jennings,  after  whom  Mr.  Jennings  was  named,  v,as 
the  first  territorial  go\'ernor  of  Indiana. 

"Mr.  Jennings  has  always  lived  near  BeDair.'  untii  hia 
removal  a  few  weeks  ago,  witii  his  daugliter,  to  Gfis  C-'ity.  For 
forty  years  he  was  a  well-known  citizen  of  Bellaire.  He  is  a  man 
of  bright  mind,  ready  wit,  and  amiable  disposition.  His  mental 
faculties  are  well  preserved,  and  excepting  that  he  is  nomewhat

FredericV  Plunier  Hobson  was  a  nian  of  excf;p- 
tional  character  ;  he  combined  the  gcutlenes.s  of  a  wo- 
man with  great  firmness  and  courage.  He  had  a  strong, 
clear  mind  with  a  remarkable  insight  into  human 
nature,  lie  had  chosen  the  law  as  a  profession,  but  early 
indications  of  cou.sum])tion  made  it  necessary  to  live: 
an  active  life  in  the  couniry.  He  became  au  excellent 
farmer  and  managed  a  large  Virginia  estate  witli  judg-

ment  and  success.  No  kinder,  wiser  master  could  be 
found.  His  patience  and  self-denial  during  ten  years  of 
struggle  with  a  fatal  disease,  and  perfect  resignation  to 
the  will  of  God,  was  an  inspiration  to  others.  He  was 
named  after  Rev.  Dr.  Phnner,  the  distinguished  Pres- 
bj'terian  divine. 

Mrs.  Annie  J.  W.  Hobsou  (she  was  baptized  Ann, 
but  always  called  Annie)  is  the  last  surviving  child  of 
Gov.  Henry  A.  and  Elizabeth  {Jennings)  Wise.  When 
she  was  but  four  years  old,  her  father  married  his  sec- 
ond wife,  Mrs.  Sergeant,  who  was  a  self-sacrificing  and 
true  mother  to  them  all,  dying  when  Annie  was  thirteen 
years  of  age.  Her  father  married  in  1854  his  third  wife, 
a  Miss  Lyous,  of  Richmond,  Va.,  a  good,  lovely  woman 
of  suitable  age,  and  who  has  always  been  loved  and 
cherished  as  a  mother,  and  who  at  the  piesent  time 
(1899)  is  living  with  Mrs.  Hobsou. 

Thelife  of  Annie  Jennings  Hobsou  is  a  theme  we  can- 
not reacli.  In  its  manifestation  to  the  world,  it  has  been 
marked  by  no  extraordinary  deeds  ;  but  in  cheerfully 
accepting  the  gravest  reponsibilities  of  imperious  duties 
and  in  the  sublime  Christian  fortitude  and  submission 
under  many  and  severe  trials  hardly  to  be  borne,  she 
lived  a  life  too  sacred  for  our  pen  to  discuss.  As  daugh- 
ter, wife  and  mother,  she  has  exemplified  the  nobility 
of  woman,  and  after  a  life  of  unceasing  vicissitudes,  she 
is  still  charitably  meeting  the  obligations  which  the 
misfortunes  of  others  have  im.posed  upon  her.  As  a  com- 
mentary on  her  life  and  praise  of  her  motives,  we  can- 
not do  better  than  to  quote  her  own  words:  "God  has 
led  me  through  the  fiery  path  of  trial  and  the  dark 
waters  of  bereavement,  but  He  has  never  forsaken  me  ; 
but  has  given  me  grace  always  to  say:  'Thy  will  be 
done.'    'God  is  too  wise  to  err,  too  loving  to  be  unkind.'  " 

Mr.<^.  Hobson  now  resides  at  Ashland,  Hanover 
Co..  Va.

FIFTH   GENERATION.  247 

Willipm  Dexter  Dowe  was  a  sou  of  Stephen  Dowe, 
of  Laudgrove  Vt.,  a  son  of  Stephen  Dowe,  (by  Abigail 
Jewett)  of  Hollis,  New  Hampshiie,  son  of  Capt. Reuben 
Dowe,  (by  Ivydia  Joues),  who  purchased  in  Hollis, 
about  the  year  1730,  the  tract  of  original  forest,  which 
they  im]iroved  as  a  homestead,  where  they  afterwards 
lived  and  died.  Their  children  and  grand-children 
were  born  there,  and  it  is  still  owned  by  a  representa- 
tive of  the  fain.ily. 

Capt-  Reuben  Dowe  held  a  lieutenant's  commission 
in  a  company  of  New  Hampshire  troops,  who  took  part 
in  the  expedition  against  Ticonderoga  in  the  French 
and  Indian  War.  He  was  captain  of  a  company  in  Col. 
Prescott's  regiment,  which  occupied  Breed's  Hill  on  the 
niglit  of  June  16,  1775,  and  took  part  in  the  battlf  of 
the  next  da}'.  He  was  the  last  of  his  company  in  leav- 
ing the  fortifications,  and  received  a  ball  in  his  ankle,  a 
lasting  memento  from  George  HI,  which  made  h.ini  a 
cripple  for  life.  This  bullet  was  taken  from  his  aukle 
that  day,  at  the  hospital  in  Cambridge, and  was  carefully 
kept  by  liim  the  remainder  of  his  life,  and  at  its  close 
he  passed  it  over  to  his  sous.  It  has  been  preser\-ed  as 
a  souvenir  by  the  family. 

The  first  ancestor  of  this  family,  who  settled  in 
Massachusetts,  came  over  from  Eugland  prior  to  1G.'^7. 
His  name  appears  in  the  records  of  Essex  County  anjong 
the  charter  corporators  of  the  town  of  Newburyport. 

The  Jewetts  were  all  of  Scotch  and  the  Joneses  of 
Welsh  ancestry. 

Mehctabel  Hall,  mother  Mr.  Dowe,  was  de- 
scended, through  her  father,  from  the  earliest  settlers  of 
New  England,  who  came  over  to  these  shores  soon 
after  the  Pilgrims  .settled  at  Plymouth.  Simon  Wil- 
lard  and  his  sister  Margery,  who  washer  ancester,  came 
in  the  same  ship.  Rev.  Willard  Hall,  the  first  minis- 
ter of  the  Congregational  Church,  at  Wcstford,  Mass., 
and  for  fifty-two  years,  from  1727,  was  her  grand-father. 
She  was  born  in  Westford,  being  the  daugliter  of  Willis 
Hall  and  I\Iehetabel  {Poole)  Hall.

Mr.  Dowe  wradna'ced  at  Dartmovilli  College  in  TSr)5. 
He  afierv/ards  read  law  in  Delaware,  and  was  admitted 
to  the  bar  in  that  state  in  1 859.  For  a  time  he  practiced 
his  profession  in  vSt.  Lonis,  Mo.;  also  in  Macoupin 
County,  111. 

In  18G2  he  received  an  invitation  from  the  Hon. 
Daniel  M.  Bates,  in  whose  office  he  had  read  lav,'  in 
Wilmington,  Delaware,  to  return  to  Delaware  and  enter 
into  a  partnership  with  him  in  the  practice  of  law. 
This  arrangement  was  made,  and  the  firm  of  Bates 
&  Dowe,  attorneys  at-law,  wa^^  pleasantly  continued 
until  the  appointment  of  Mr.  Bates  as  Chancellor  of  the 
State  of  Delaware.  The  acceptance  of  the  office  of 
Chancellor,  dissolved  the  hrm  of  Bates  &.  Dowe  in  1864.

Henry  Wise  Ilobson  was  born  in  Goochland 
County,  Va.,  on  liis  father's  estate  of  Eastwood,  July  9, 
1858.  He  displayed  early  in  liie  iinu:-nal  ability  and 
character.  He  rose  rapidly  in  his  profession  as  a 
Lawyer.  He  commenced  the  practice  of  law  in  Rich- 
mond in  his  uncle's  office,  Hon.  John  S.  Wise,  now  of 
New  York.  In  a  short  time  was  talzeji  as  a  partner- 
In  1881  he  went  to  Colorado  and  settled  in  BuenaVista, 
and  succeeded  so  well  th.at  in  1 884  he  settled  in  Denver. 
He  liad  .'icarcely  been  there  a  year  when  President 
Cleveland  appointed  him  U.  S.  District  Attorney.  Later 
on  Cleveland  appointed  him,  also,  District- Attorney  for 
two  other  states  and  a  territory.  lie  \^'^s  the  youns^est

his  first  appointment.  He  was  General  Counsel  and 
Receiver  for  the  Union  Pacific  &  Denver  &  Gulf  Rail- 
road ;  also  for  the  Denver,  Leadville  &  Gannison  R.  R. 
His  greatest  work  was  the  International  Trpst  Co., 
of  Denver,  which  he  organized  in  189L  It  is  univer- 
sally conceded  that  his  energy,  ability  and  judicious 
management  carried  it  through  the  money  crises,  which 
have  scei;  the  failure  of  so  many  undertakings  in  Col- 
orrdo. 

"Though  young  at  the  time  of  his  death,  he  had  at- 
tained a  high  position  at  the  bar,  and  in  the  business 
world  and  in  all  walks  of  life,  men  looked  to  him  for 
advice  and  guidance.  His  place  cannot  easilj'  be  filled 
in  business  and  profession  circles.'' — Quoted  from  a 
Denver  paper. 

He  married  at  Fitzburg,  New  York,  Mrs.  Katlier- 
ine  {Thayer)  Germain,  Rev.  J.  C  Hobsou,  of  the  Epis- 
copal Church,  ofliciating,  assisted  by  the  Rev.  Mr.

As  a  historj-  of  John  Crawford  and  liis  times,  we 
present  the  follo\Ying  story  as  it  was  publislied  in  the 
Wayiiesbiirg  Republican^  Jan.  G,  1898.  Tlie  story  is 
from  the  pen  of  Jennings  Crawford  (1506),  and  besides 
the  story  of  adventure,  and  the  side  light  thrown  on 
pioneer  days,  it  discloses  the  friendship  of  two  rough, 
rugged  scouts,  and  shows  the  reason  why  the  given 
name,  John  Lynn,  is  continued  through  the  families 
descended  from  John  Crawford :

leave  the  Sauduslcy  towDs  aud  retire  to  the  AY«bas!i  oountry  for 
wiuter  quiirlers, 

It  was  a  matter  of  i;i'eat  impcntauee  to  tlie  fettleniculs  to 
aseertaio  whether  or  not  this  report  ^^-as  true.  If  true,  they  would 
be  relieved,  at  least  for  a  time,  from  The  necessity  of  a  slcc])kss 
vigilance  in  order  to  guard  against  tlu'ii-  i.loody  inroads.  If  false, 
they  would  understand  and  be  prenarcd  for  tlie  necessities  of  the 
hour. 

'J'lie  olUcers  in  eouimand  at  Foil  AVlicelinf,'  detailed  (:i|jlit 
men  from  the  class  of  soldiers  tlien  in  tlic  U.  S.  service,  called 
spies  or  scouts,  to  perform  this  service.  It  was  a  mi.ssiou  of  great 
danger,  bui  these  young  nieu  were  presumed  to  he  fitted  for  just 
such  work. 

The  names  of  these  meu,  so  far  as  I  am  able  to  call  tlieiii  to 
mind,  were  Jacoli  Wet/el  (brother  to  Lewis,)  George  Bro\vn,  of 
Whitely,  Greene  Co.,  Pa.,  John  Lynn,  Redstone,  Fayette  Co., 
Pa.,  John  Crawford  (my  father),  Muddy  Creek,  Greene  Co.,  Pa., 
Thomas  Biggs  and  Wm.  McCullocb.  Tlu^  names  of  the  oiher  tv.X/ 
I  can  not  recall.  The  party  started  from  Fort  ^Vheeling  in  the 
moutli  of  December,  in  ihedirection  of  the  Sandusky  towns.  The 
trail  through  the  unbroken  forest  crossed  the  r^Iuskicgum  River 
at  or  below  where  Coshocton  now  stands,  then  through  the  Tomica 
region  on  the  M'aters  of  Owl  Creek,  passing  near  the  spot  where 
now  stands  the  city  of  Alt.  Veinon. 

After  proceeding  cautiously  on  this  route  to  a  point  some- 
where in  the  Owl  Creek  Valley,  tliey  ln-eamo  .-alistied  that  the 
Indians  were  in  the  country  ;  that  the  rejiort  that  tliey  had  gone 
ofiE  to  the  Wabash  was  false. 

JNIoreover  some  of  Ihe  party  (my  father  of  llie  nunilx-r  )  be- 
lieved th.at  they  (the  scouts)  had  beeii  discovered  by  the  Indians, 
and  that  the  greatest  caution  would  be  necessary  to  ])re\-ent  a 
surjirite. 

The  oljject  of  the  mi.ssion  having  been  attained,  tlie  party  uo\4- 
turned  their  faces  homeward,  and,  as  it  afterward  turned  out, 
were  stealthily  followed  by  a  party  of  Indians. 

When  niglil  came  on  they  had  reached  a  point  in  the  liilly 
region  of  Tomica,  about  ten  miles  west  of  the  Muskingum  Kiver. 
The  weather  was  very  cold  but  no  snow  on  the  ground. 

They  .selected  a  secluded  spot  in  a  dee),  ravine  lor  tlieir  camp- 
ing ground.  There  was  a  division  among  the  men  as  to  whether 
they  should  have  fire.  Those  who  believed  that  the  Indians  had 
di.scovered  tliem  opiiosed  it,  but  was  overruled  by  the  majority. 
A  fire  was  made. 

The  regulations  for  watching  and  being  relies  ed  in  order  were 
duly  atten.ded  to. 

]\Iy  father's  watch  came  in  the  iir.-i  part  of  Ihe  night. 


276  DESCENDANTS   OF   BENJAMIN 

He  (Ifscribed  the  niRlit  as  boiug  very  still,  the  moou  shining 
bright,  the  weutlier  so  cold  that  (he  trees  were  erackijig  with  the 
frost,  and  the  ground  frozen  hard. 

He  thought  it  would  be  impossible  for  an  Indian  to  get  with- 
in a  hundred  yards  of  the  camp  without  being  discovered. 

The  men,  excepting  the  one  on  guard  for  the  time  being,  sur- 
rounded the  camp  fire  with  tlicir  guns  in  their  arms,  lying  with 
their  feet  to  the  fire  and  their  heads  most  remote  from  it. 

About  three  o'doclv  in  the  morning  the  man  on  guard  (as  he 
afterward  stated),  after  watching  for  some  lime,  turned  around  to 
the  light  of  the  lire  to  take  somellung  from  his  liuapsaek,  when 
the  Indians,  having  with  astonishing  adroitness  ereptupouevery 
side,  within  some  fifteen  or  twenty  yards,  lired  into  the  camp  of 
sleep>iug  men. 

Two  men  were  killed  on  the  spot  and  a  third  one  wounded. 

Those  who  escaped  this  deadly  A'olle^-,  sprang  up  and  ran  for 
their  lives.  My  father,  after  rurning  along  tlic  ravine  some 
distance  and  then  up  a  side  hill,  ventured  to  look  back,  and  saw, 
bj'  the  light  of  the  moon,  at  the  foot  of  the  hill,  a  few  yards  below, 
a  squad  of  men.  In  a  few  moments  there  was  a  sliglit  report  of  a 
gun,  and  lie  ran  on.  It  seems  that  the  wounded  man,  after  run- 
ning as  far  as  this  spot,  M'as  overtaken  by  some  of  the  Indians  and 
turned  to  defend  himself  with  liis  tomahav.-k.  The  Indians,  not 
caring  to  engage  in  a  hand  to  linnd  fight,  and  their  guns  having  all 
been  discharged  at  the  tirst  tire,  had  stopped  long  enough  to  load 
a  gun  to  shoot  the  poor  man  down. 

Five  of  the  men  were  unhurt  and  escaped  from  the  Indians, 
but  some  had  lost  their  moccasins  and  all  tlieirblanketsand  knap- 
sacks. Ninety  miles  through  a  howling  wilderness  were  to  be 
traveled  before  they  could  reach  Wheeling  Fort.  There  seemed 
reason  to  fear  that  the  Indians  nii;:ht  still  be  follov.'ing  up  their 
trail,  so  that  to  shoot  game  was  unsafe  and  tliey  had  no  other 
means  of  procuring  food. 

Their  hunger  was  added  to  the  other  diflieullies  and  perils 
still  surrounding  them.  After  tliree  days  of  toil  and  sufleriug  the 
five  men  reached  the  Fort,  in  two  parties,  one  of  two  and  the 
other  of  three,  neither  of  them  having  any  knowledge  of  the 
other  until  they  came  in.  Those  of  them  who  had  lost  their 
moccasins  at  the  sui-prise,  got  their  feet  badly  frozen. 

After  a  few  days  rest,  and  doctoring  up  their  frozen  leei,  the 
boys  determined  to  niak-e  a  trip  out  to  the  Wakiioiuica  coni'.try, 
as  it  was  then  called,  in  sea'ch  of  their  three  lost  comrades,  of 
whose  fate  they  ^verc  yet  not  CLrtain,  though  they  believed  they 
were  killed. 

Procuring  some  horses  to  ride,  they  made  their  way  to  the 
spot  where  the  party  had  Oi-en  surjirised,  and  found  the  bodies  of 


THIRD   GENEKATJON.  277 

the  three  men,  two  at  th'>  camp  wl\oie  they  liad  slept,  aud  the 
other  at  the  place  wlieiv?  ray  father  looking  down  the  hill  aaw  the 
squad  of  uien  at  its  foot.  His  wouiui.s  indicaied  that,  )ir  had  been 
shot  a  second  time. 

They  hurried  their  coiupanious  in  the  hi'St  manner  they 
could  near  the  spot  wliere  they  fell. 

I  am  not  able,  at  this  late  day,  to  stnte  the  na)«e.s  of  two  of 
the  men  who  were  killed.  But  as  to  the  third  one,  there  is  a  little 
bit  of  romance  couuectcd  with  it,  (roiuance  in  re.il  life,  by  the 
way,)  M'hich  I  trust  will  cause  it  to  be  remembered  by  all  the 
Crawford  eonuection  for  at  least  a  generation  or  two  yet  to  come. 

John  Ijyun,  (one  of  the  men  killed)  and  .Toliu  Crawford  (my 
father],  were  bosom  friends.  They  entered  the  U.  S.  service,  as 
scouts  at  the  same  time,  each  being  about  eighteen  years  old. 
They  made  an  agreement  at  the  outj^et,  that  ia  case  either  one 
should  fall  during  the  war,  and  the  oilier  survive,  and  have  a  son, 
that  son  should  bear  the  ijame  of  tlie  fallen  comrade. 

JolinLynn  was  shot  tlirough  the  heart  v.-hile  lying  under  tlie 
same  blanket  with  .John  Crawford  in  that  awful  night  surprise 
which  1  have  been  trying  to  describe. 

The  defeat  of  the  Indians  by  General  "Wayne  on  the  Maumee, 
in  August,  1794:,  put  an  end  to  the  war.  Tliere  was  no  further 
need  for  the  .scouts,  and  they  returned  to  tlie  puisuits  of  peaceful 
life. 

.John  C'rawford  and  Salome  Jennings  were  married  April  2, 
ISni.    A  son  was  born  to  them  May  olst,  1802. 

That  sou  was  named  John  Lynn  Crawford,  in  accordance 
with  the  sacred  pledge  made  twelve  years  before. 

This  scrap  of  history  as  to  the  orighi  of  the  name,  witli  its 
hallowed  iissocialions,  will,  I  think,  be  accepted  by  all  relatives 
as  a  precious  memorial.  To  some  of  the  younger  portion  of  thoui 
ii  will  jjcrhaps  be  new. 

I  have  met  in  past  years  several  stories  or  narratives  evidently 
founded  upon  the  real  historic  events  which  I  have  narrated  above, 
hut  connected  with  so  much  of  mere  fiction  as  to  render  them  in- 
credible and  worthless. 

All  the  statements  I  have  made  above  may  be  relied  upon  as 
substantially  true.  They  come  from  tlie  lips  of  one  of  tlie  princi- 
jile  actors,  whose  veracity  was  never  called  in  (luestiou.

^The  Magastne  of  IVcstern  Hts/cry\  published  at 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  commenced  giving  biographical 
sketches  of  some  of  the  leading  men  of  Pittsbnvgh — 
manufacturers  and  other  prominent  business-  men  v.itli- 
in  the  last  half  century.  In  this  list  we  find  our  old 
friend  and  relative,  John  F.  Jennings,  now  living  on 
Lincoln  Avenue,  Allegheny  city,  in  the  eigliiieth  jear 
of  his  age.  As  Mr.  Jennings  is  a  native  of  tiiis  place, 
and  having  been  very  extensively  known  throughout 
the  county,  fifty  odd  years  ago,  we  have  taken  the 
liberty  of  borrowing  from  the  March  number,  18SG,  of 
the  Magasme.,  the  following  sketch  of  his  business  life, 
especially  after  he  became  an  active  workei  in  the 
great  industrial  hive  of  the  State;  we  fully  and  cheer- 
fully endorse  all  that  the  Magazine  says  of  our  old 
friend,  and  we  hope  it  will  be  read  with  appreciation 
and  pleasure  by  hundreds  of  our  older  citizens  v.-ho  still 
remember  Mr.  Jennings  when  a  young  man  in  their 
midst.  The  enterprise,  self  reliance  and  strict  business 
integrity  of  Mr.  Jennings  were  crowned  with  tiieir 
natural  and  legitimate  results,  in  the  acquisition  of  en-

larged  wealtli.  His  '.vliole  life  has  been  a  worLliy 
example  to  the  young  ineu  of  the  country  who  liave 
their  own  way  to  make  in  the  v.'orld.  But  read  vs'hat 
the  Magazine  of  Weslern  History  truthfully  says  of  the 
subject  of  this  sketch. 

After  considerable  solicitation  on  our  part,  i^lr. 
Jennings  consented  to  our  printing  the  following  notice, 
when  some  other  members  of  his  family  sent  us  the 
above  electrotype  likeness  of  that  gentleman,  v/hich  is 
a  most  excellent  one. 

JOHN    F.  JENNINGS. 

The  men  who  laid  the  foundations  c{  manufactur- 
ing and  commercial  strength  on  which  Pittsburgh  has 
been  built,  are  rapidly  passing  away,  and  those  who  re- 
main should  be  made  to  feel  that  the  new  generation 
has  an  appreciation  of  the  past,  and  is  willing  to  give  a 
full  meed  of  praise  where  it  is  due.  John  P.  Jennings 
was  one  of  this  hard-working  body  of  pioneers,  aud  he 
has  well  earned  the  comfort  and  ease  in  which  his  de- 
clining years  are  being  spent.  Kis  life  has  been  a 
useful  and  busy  one.  He  was  born  in  Waynesburg, 
Greene  County,  Pennsylvania,  on  October  28,  1807. 
His  ancestors  came  originally  from  New  Jersey.  His 
maternal  grandfather,  John  Flenniken,  while  a  native 
of  Pennsylvania,  was  for  many  years  a  citizen  of  North 
Carolina,  where  he  remained  all  through  the  Revolution- 
ary War,  serving  gallantly  as  a  mem.ber  of  that  band 
that  has  passed  into  history  as  "  General  Marion's 
minute  men."  He  was  a  delegate  to  the  Mechlenburgh 
convention,  v>-hich  adopted  the  famous  "  Mechlenburgh 
Declaration  of  Independence  ''  of  1775,  and  was  one  of 
the  signers  of  that  immortal  paper.  He  was  a  man  of 
high  standing,  and  of  great  inlluc-nce  in  the  south. 
When  the  war  was  over,  his  wife  haviug  in  ttie  mean- 
time died,  he  returned  to  Pennsylvania,  bringing  with 
him  two  children,  a  son  and  daughter,  the  latter  being 
afterwards  the  wife  of  Benjamiu  Jennings,  and.  niolher 
to  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  (^n  Mr.  Flenniken's 
return  to  the  North  he  was  appointed  one  of  the  first 


28(J  DESCENDANTS    OF   BENJAMIN 

associate  iiidges  of  Greene  County,  and  served  v.-ith 
honor  and  faithfulness  in  th:U  position. 

Mr.  Jennings'  paternal  grandfather,  Jacob  Jennings, 
settled  on  the  -west  side  of  the  Monongahela  river  on  a 
farm.  The  son,  Benjamin  Jennings,  while  yet  a  minor, 
learned  tlie  trade  of  a  carpenter,  and  went  to  Waynes- 
bnrg,  the  serf  of  Greene  County,  which  had  previonsly 
been  divided  from  Washington  Count}'.  The  tovvn  did 
nctat  ihat  time  contain  a  dozen  houses.  He  assisted 
in  building  the  first  court  house  in  the  county.  It  v.-as 
constructed  of  hewed  logs,  and  within  it  the  courts 
were  held  until  a  new  brick  house,  a  very  elegant  one 
for  the  tiine,  was  erected.  It  included  all  the  olliccs 
needed  to  carry  on  the  public  business,  and  also  a  verj' 
necessarj'  appendage  in  the  back  woods  of  those  days, 
a  jail.  The  county  v.-as  named  after  General  Greene, 
the  bosom  friend  and  military  companion  of  Generals 
Washington  and  LaFayette — and  thus  Pennsylvania 
honors  these  three  Revolutionary  heroes  by  uamiug 
after  theur  three  counties  that  touch  on  each  other — 
Washington,  Fayerte  and  Greene. 

When  Benjamin  Jennings  was  married  he  brought 
his  wife  to  Waynesburg,  but  could  find  no  house  to  li\'e 
in  save  a  small  one  oflogs  tha  stood  on  the  farm  on 
which  the  town  was  laid  out.  He  had  bought  two  lots 
on  Main  street,  and  ^^as  soon  engaged  in  building  two 
frame  houses,  a  portion  of  the  timber  therein  being  cut 
from  the  main  street  of  the  town,  and  the  remainder  on 
what  is  now  called  the  park,  but  was  then  known  as  the 
commons.  The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  born  during 
the  progress  of  this  work,  in  the  little  log  house  that 
stood  on  what  is  now  Greene  street.  The  building  has 
only  been  demoli.?hed  during  the  last  three  years,  to 
make  room  for  the  progress  of  improvements  in  that 
outerprisiug  town. 

Mr.  Jennings'  childliood  and  )'outh  did  not  difier 
from  that  of  the  great  majority  of  children.  When  he 
was  about  fifteen  years  of  age  he  served  for  a  time  in  a 
village  store,  but  in  a  few  months  entered  a  ])rinting 


FOURTH   GEXKRATION.  !2S7 

office  to  learu  the  printer's  trade.  As  his  opportunities 
for  an  education  had  been  very  meagre,  he  earnestly 
applied  himself  to  study,  attending  a  grammar  class  at 
night,  and  becoming  an  expert  in  that  difficult  science. 
After  conipleting  his  trade  he  was  oflered  a  tiosition  in 
the  largest  general  store  of  the  town,  and  accepted.  He 
remained  tliere  nearly  three  years,  receiving  the  rudi- 
ments of  a  business  education,  which  served  him  a  good 
purpose  in  after  life.  By  reason  of  close  confinement 
his  health  began  to  fail,  and  he  concluded  to  leave  the 
store  and  go  back  to  his  trade.  In  1830  he  went  to 
Ohio,  and  in  St.  Clairsville  found  an  old  office  mate, 
who  had  learned  his  trade  by  his  side,  and  v>'lio  v/as 
none  other  than  Colonel  George  W-  Manypvnny,  who 
afterwards  became  a  distinguished  citizen  of  Ohio,  and 
held  many  important  positions,  state  and  national.  Rlr. 
Manypenny  had  just  bought  a  newspa])er,  and  he 
wished  Mr.  Jennings  to  remain  with  him  until  he  should 
get  his  establishment  in.  fair  running  shape.  He  did  so, 
and  was  there  one  3'ear,  wlicu  he  Vi'ent  to  Colnmbusand 
entered  an  ofiice  wliere  he  gave  part  of  his  time  to  his 
trade  arrd  a  part  to  reporting  the  proceedings  of  the 
general  assembly.  Mr.  Jennings  had  one  advantage 
over  the  majority  of  his  craft.  Plaving  learned  his  trade 
in  a  country  office,  he  was  taught  all  branches  of  the 
business,  while  the  rest,  as  a  general  thing,  understood 
but  one  branch.  He  could  turn  his  hand  to  all  forms 
of  ofiice  work.  There  were  no  steam  presses  in  those 
days,  and  there  were  but  two  men  in  the  oflice  who 
could  run  a  hand  press  at  all,  and  Mr.  Jennings  was  one 
of  them,  and  as  he  was  an  expert  therein  he  was  soon 
materially  advanced  in  the  matter  of  wages.  He  had 
made  himself  useful  in  so  many  ways,  and  had  worked 
with  such  industry  and  intelligent  understanding  of 
what  was  required  of  him,  that  when  he  decided  to  leave 
he  was  offered  the  foremanship  if  he  would  remain.  But 
he  had  other  purposes  in  view  and  declined.  He 
returned  to  St.  Clairsville,  where  he  worked  until  the 
next  spring,  and  in  1833   removed   lo  Pittsburgh,    with

forty-five  dollars  in  his  pocket,  the  sum  of  his  worldly 
wealth,  where  he  followed  his  trade, and  in  1S35  became 
foreman  of  one  of  the  offices. 

In  p-ebruary  or  March,  1837,  Mr.  Jennings  v/as 
offered  the  position  of  book-keeper  and  general  manager 
of  the  Eagle  Cotton  'Work?,  one  of  the  largest  factories 
in  Allegheny,  where  all  the  factories  of  that  section 
were  located,  and  doing  an  immense  business.  Today 
there  is  not  one  in  operation.  The  machinery  and  bus- 
iness of  the  Eagle  Mill  hsve  been  removed  to  Madison, 
Indiana.  The  grounds  and  buildings  in  Allegheny 
have  recently  been  sold  to  be  diverted  to  other  p\ir- 
poses.  Mr.  Jennings  remained  with  the  Eagle  six 
years.  In  the  spring  of  1843  he  went  into  the  Vvhole- 
sale  grocery  and  produce  business  in  connection  with 
James  W.  Hailman  and  John  R.  Blaine,  under  the  firm 
name  of  Hailman,  Jennings  &  Company.  They  laid 
good  foundations  and  were  commencing  to  build  up  a 
large  business,  when  they  were  overtaken  by  the  great 
fire  of  1845,  and  utterly  ruined,  losing  not  only  what 
they  had,  but  being  left  several  thousand  dollars  in 
debt.  The  fire  swept  awaj' two-thirds  of  the  business 
portion  of  the  city,  and  would  have  crushed  a  pVice 
where  the  spirit  of  enterprise  and  progress  was  not  as 
great  as  it  has  ever  been  in  Pittsburgh.  During  the 
winter  of  that  year,  Mr.  Hailman  and  Mr.  Jennings 
entered  into  partnership  with  William  Coleman  and 
Samuel  H.  Hartman  for  the  purpose  of  manufacturing 
steel.  Blister  steel  was  the  only  kind  then  attempted 
in  Pittsburgh,  and  the  spring  steel  was  made  from  the 
blister.  Mr.  Jennings  remained  only  one  year  with 
that  firm ;  matters  connected  with  the  business  did  not 
run  smoothly,  but  caused  the  development  of  consider- 
able friction.  He  offered  to  sell  his  interest,  and  as 
some  money  had  been  made  he  was  able  to  dispose  of 
it  at  a  good  figure  to  a  banking  house.  This  not  only 
enabled  him  to  pay  his  proportion  of  the  debt  and  stand 
financially  square  with  the  world  once  more,  but  left 
him  a  small  capital  in  addition. 


FOURTH   GENEr^.ATIO^^  289 

The  time  was  one  of  development  and  advance  in 
the  steel  business;  the  product  Avas  about  to  be  applied 
to  a  nev,'  use,  and  there  was  not  a  mill  in  Pittsburgh 
prepared  to  make  it.  On  his  retirement  from  the  above 
named  firm,  Mr.  Jennings  .set  about  raising  a  company 
for  the  manufacture  of  steel,  and  several  other  articles 
that  Vv'ere  the  product  of  steel  —  spring  steel,  carriage 
and  bugg}'  springs,  plow  steel,  etc.  There  had  sprung 
up  a  great  demand  for  steel  plows,  but  no  one  had  been 
able  to  furnish  the  steel.  He  succeeded  in  raising  a 
good  company  that,  before  getting  into  operation, 
underwent  some  modification,  and  that  was  eventuallj' 
composed  of  the  following  gentlemen:  A.  M.  Walling- 
ford,  John  F.  Singer, W-  K.  Nimick,  Ale?;ander  Nimick, 
John  F.  Jennings,  Samuel  H.  Harlman  and  Felix  R. 
Brunot.  The  firm  name  taken  was  that  of  Singer, 
Hartmau  &  Company.  Messrs.  Wallingford,  Nimicks 
and  Brunot  were  the  capitalists  and  silent  partners, 
while  Messrs.  Singer,  Hartman  and  Jennings  operated 
the  concern.  Mr.  Hartu!an  was  a  practical  mill  man, 
and  became  the  manager  of  the  entire  works,  which 
soon  became  famous  as  the  Sheffield  Steel  Works.  The 
m^'U  was  constructed  with  a  special  view  of  adding  the 
manufacture  of  plow  steel  slabs  to  the  other  lines  of 
work.  The  slabs  were  run  in  lengths  of  ten  to  tv.'elve 
feet,  and  ten  to  fourteen  inches  wide,  and  could  be  made 
to  any  required  thickness.  A  very  large  demand  for 
steel  immediately  sprung  up,  and  as  a  result  of  the  new 
manufacture,  a  large  number  of  plow  shops  came  into 
being  in  the  west.  The  steel  they  made  was  of  good 
quality,  and  ready  sale  was  found  for  it  at  remunerative 
rates.  For  over  two  years  they  had  a  monopoly  in  that 
branch  of  their  business.  Then  other  mills  began  to 
follow  in  their  footsteps,  but  theSheflield  had  the  trade, 
and  it  was  a  long  time  before  a  breach  of  any  size  had 
been  made  in  that  part  of  their  trade.  They  had 
fitted  up  a  mill  expressly  for  rolling  plow  slabs,  and 
when  the  business  was  slack  this  was  used  for  the  mak- 


290  13KSCENDANTS   OP   BENJAMIN. 

ing  of  boiler  plate  and  slieet-iron.  The  other  part  of 
the  mill  was  ruriuing  on  various  kinds  of  v>'ork,  such  as 
steel  carriage  and  bugg}'  tires,  cro\vbars,  sledges,  picks, 
and  a  host  of  other  articles.  Tlie  shops  were  running 
on  springs  and  axles,  solid  box  vises,  and  many  other 
things  of  that  character.  They  did  at  one  time  com- 
mence the  manufacture  of  anvils,  but  the  trouble  of 
procuring  workmen  was  so  great,  as  the}'  had  all  to  be 
imported  from  England,  that  that  line  of  business 
was  soon  dropped. 

The  work  of  making  steel  at  that  day  was  entirely 
different  from  that  employed  at  present.  No  account 
of  present  methods  v/ill  be  attempted  here,  as  they  are 
so  numerous  and  have  been  so  fully  described  in  special 
publications.  But  it  will  be  of  the  greatest  interest  to 
look  at  the  course  followed  in  those  days  when  America 
first  commenced  her  growth  in  this  great  line  of  indus- 
try. In  the  course  of  preparation  for  this  sketch  I 
asked  Mr.  Jennings  for  a  detailed  description  of  the 
methods  first  pursued,  and  he  kindly  gave  it  to  nie,and 
it  is  here  reproduced :  The  plan  was  the  old  English 
process  of  conversion.  The  iron  was  rolled  from  a 
bloom  of  charcoal  iron  down  to  the  size  required,  and  a 
half  inch  thick.  It  was  then  cut  to  proper  lengths,  and 
placed  in  a  furnace  constructed  for  the  purpose.  In 
each  furnace  are  two  sarcophagi,  or  "pots,"  as  the  work- 
men call  them.  Each  pot  will  hold  fifteen  to  twenty 
tons.  On  the  bottom  of  the  pots  is  a  laj'cr  of  ground 
charcoal  a  half  inch  thick,  laid  very  evenly  and 
smoothly ;  then  a  layer  of  iron,  bars  laid  perfectly 
straight  and  smooth,  then  a  layer  of  charcoal  a  fourth  of 
an  inch  thick — and  so  on,  alternate  layers  of  iron  and 
charcoal  till  the  pot  is  full ;  then  a  thick  layer  of  char- 
coal, and  the  entire  top  covered  with  a  layer  of  moist 
cliiy  two  or  thiee  inches  in  thickness,  to  render  it  as 
perfectly  air-proof  as  possible.  The  other  pot  is  treated 
in  precisely  the  same  manner.  The  fire  is  beneath,  and 
the  pot  containing  the  iron  and  charcoal  is  surrounded 


FOURTH     GENERATION.  29i 

witli  fire,  the  heat  moderate  at  first,  but  increased  by 
degrees  till  brought  up  to  the  standard  (2000)  degrees 
and  is  kept  steadily  at  that  point  nioht  and  day,  and 
not  for  a  monieiit  allowed  to  be  reduced  till  the  iron  is 
converted  into  steel,  which  takes  seven  to  ei^ht  days. 
There  are  inserted  in  cacli  ])ot  trial  bars,  which  are 
withdrawn  one  at  a  time  wlien  near  the  finish  to  ascer- 
tain when  the  iron  is  sufficiently -carbo-nized,  as  it  is  a 
matter  of  importance  that  the  temperature  be  not  too 
high  or  too  low.  When  sufficiently  converted  the  fire 
is  let  out,  and-after  a  fev/  days  of  cooling,  the  top  cover- 
ing is  removed,  which  facilitates  the  cooliiig  process. 
When  sufiicieutly  cool  to  be  drawn,  you  will  find  the 
steel  covered  with  blisters,  and  is  then  called  '•  blister 
steel,"  the  fiDuudatiou  of  oilier  steel.  If  it  is  intended 
for  spring  or  plow  steel,  it  is  then  heated  and  rolled 
down  to  the  required  thickness.  The  English 
then  call  it  German  steel,  to  distinguish  it  from  cast 
steel.  If  for  cast  steel  it  is  broken  into  pieces  small 
enougli  to  be  put  into  crucibles,  sud  melted  in  furnaces 
prepared  for  the  purpose,  and  poured  into  a  mould  and 
it  becomes  an  "ingot,"  and  worked  under  hammers  or 
rolls  to  any  purpose  desired.  Now  this  was  the  only 
process  by  which  steel  was  made  when  first  introduced 
into  Pitt.sburgh,  but  it  is  now  almost  entirely  aban- 
doned, and  other  modes  adopted  by  which  steel  can  be 
made  in  a  few  hours  by  chemical  process. 

Among  other  improvements  introduced  by  Mr. 
Jennings  was  one  which  caused  a  complete  revolution 
in  the  mode  of  supplying  the  plow-makers  with  steel, 
which  proved  to  be  profitable  as  well  as  satisfactory  to 
both  parties.  Previously  to  this,  the  steel  was  furnished 
to  plow-makers  in  the  slabs,  and  they  had  to  cut  out 
the  mould  boards,  shares,  etc.,  by  hand  with  cold 
chisels  and  sledges,  avery  tedious  and  laborious  as  well 
as  expensive  process.  Mr.  Jennings  called  upon  two  of 
the  largest  shops  in  Cincinnati  and  obtained  their  pat- 
terns, and  proposed  to  cut  their  mould  boards  to  .shape, 


292  DESCENDANTS   OF   BENJAMIN. 

having-  coustructed  shears  for  the  purpose.  By  this 
meaus  the  plow-maker  saved  the  price  of  the  scraps, 
v/hich  were  of  no  vahie  to  ihem,  as  they  would  not  bear 
transportation  back  to  the  works.  He  saved  in  freight 
on  the  weight  of  the  scraps  in  the  slab,  and  also  in  twc 
blacksmith  fires,which  would  be  no  inconsiderable  item, 
as  the  average  price  of  coal  at  that  lime  thi-oughout  the 
west  was  twenty  to  tv/euty-five  cents  per  bushel.  The 
wages  of  four  stout  men  were  saved  also.  While  the  new 
plan  increased  the  profit  to  the  works,  it  was  also  a  sav- 
ing of  twenty  percent,  to  the  plow-maker.  Of  course 
the  plan  was  followed  bj'  other  shops,  and  it  soon  be- 
came the  general  mode  of  furnishing  steel  to  the  piov/ 
manufacturers  throughout  the  country.  The  Sheffield 
works  are  still  in  operation,  and  are  among  the  largest 
concerns  of  the  kind  in  the  country.  They  have  made 
many  improvements,  and  added  many  new  articles  to 
their  catalogue. 

In  1SG2  Mr.  Jennings  sold  out  his  interest  in  these 
works,  and  since  then  has  been  engaged  in  no  active 
business  enterprise.  But  lie  has  by  no  means  been  an 
idler,  nor  allowed  the  fine  powers  with  which  nature 
has  endowed  him  to  run  to  waste.  No  record  of  his 
life,  however  much  in  outline  it  might  be  made,  could 
be  complete  were  no  m.ention  made  of  his  patriotic 
course  during  the  War  of  the  Rebellion.  His  heart  and 
soul  were  iu  the  Union  catrse,  and  he  was  not  the  man 
to  stand  idly  by  and  see  all  the  work  done  and  all  the 
burden  borne  by  others.  He  turned  in  with  all  the 
power  and  energy  within  him  to  aid  in  the  sending  of 
soldiers  into  the  field,  and  his  services  in  that  direction 
were  of  the  most  marked  character.  His  oldest  son, 
Beniamin  F.  Jennings,  was  then  iu  the  Sheffield  office, 
and  although  only  twenty-two  or  twenty-three  years  of 
age,  was  determined  to  raise  a  company  of  volunteers 
and  lead  them  to  the  war.  The  father  did  not  discour- 
age him,  but  aided  him  in  all  ways  in  his  power,  fur- 
nishing no  small  sums  of  money  fronj  his  own  pocket 


FOURTH     GENKRATION.  293 

for  the  pa3'nient  of  bounties  to  enlist  men.  When  a 
certain  number  of  volunteers  had  been  raised,  the  rocn 
were  added  to  those  of  other  companies  raised  in  that 
way,  and  became  company  B,  of  the  one  hundred  and 
fifty-fith  regiment  of  Pennsylvania  volunteer  infanvry. 
Mr.  B.  F.  Jennings  went  out  as  second  lieutenant 
thereof,  but  earned  a  captaincy  before  coming  home. 

When  Lee  invaded  Maryland,  the  governor  of 
Pennsylvania  called  for  fifty  tliousand  emergency  men. 
With  other  patriotic  citizen.'^  all  through  the  state,  Mr. 
Jennings  went  to  work  and  raised  a  company  in  Alle- 
gheny. Many  of  the  people  had  allov.'cd  their  sons  to 
enlist  under  the  expectation  that  Mr.  Jennings  was  to 
be  in  charge  of  the  company,  and  in  order  to  make  that 
misunderstanding  good,  he  decided  lo  unofficially 
accompanj'  the  boj's  to  the  seat  of  war.  He  went  with 
them  and  they  reached  Plagerstown  just  after  the  battle 
of  Antietam.  Thej'  remained  there  two  weeks,  until 
after  the  danger  of  Lee's  invasion  of  the  north  was  at 
an  end.  Mr.  Jennings  aided  the  Union  cause  in  many 
ways,  and  was  one  of  General  Howe's  most  efficient 
allies  and  supporters  in  keeping  western  Pennsylvania 
alive  to  her  full  duties  in  those  trying  hours.  He  was 
often  in  Washington  on  business  connected  with  mili- 
tary affairs  and  the  carrying  on  of  the  war.  On  one  oc- 
casion there  was  a  new  call  for  men,  and  sixt^'-five  were 
assigned  for  raising  in  Mr.  Jennings' ward  in  Allegheny 
to  prevent  a  draft.  A  meeting-  of  citizens  was  held  and 
a  committee,  of  which  he  was  one,  was  appointed  to 
procure  the  men.  He  went  energetically  to  work,  and 
the  quota  was  soon  filled  at  an  average  cost  in  bounties 
of  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  to  each  man,  v/hile 
from  two  hundred  and  fifty  to  four  hundred  dollars 
were  being-  given  elsewhere.  He  was  of  great  assistance 
in  raising  of  One  Hundred  days'  men,  and  was  the 
main  instrument  by  whicli  Allegheny  sent  five  com- 
pauiesof  them  into  the  field,  including  liis  two  younger 
sous,  instead  of  the  one  tliat  \vasp.;;kcd  for.     His  labors 


294  DESCENDANTS   OF   BENJAMIN. 

in  this  direction  brought  on  a  serious  spell  of  sickuess. 
In  all  his  labors  he  made  no  charge  to  the  government, 
but  in  addition  to  his  time,  influence  and  energy,  he 
gave  also  a  great  deal  of  money  to  the  cause  that  lay  so 
near  his  heart.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Cit)',  State  and 
National  Union  League,  and  was  one  of  its  most  fore- 
most workers. 

Mr.  Jennings  has  been  an  honored  and  consistent 
member  of  tlie  Second  Presbyterian  Church  of  Pitts- 
burgh for  forty  years,  and  served  a  number  of  years  on 
the  board  of  trustees.  On  several  occasions  when  elec- 
tions for  elders  have  been  held,  he  has  been  requested 
to  serve  in  that  position,  but  has  as  steadily  declined. 
He  has  been  vice-president  of  the  Cash  Insurance  Com- 
pany since  its  creation,  and  still  holds  that  position, 
although  doing  little  active  business  of  any  sort.  He 
was  married  on  March  29,  1836,  to  Elizabeth  B.  Fitz- 
gerald, daughter  of  Michael  Fitzgerald,  at  that  time  a 
prominent  silversmith  of  Pittsburgh.  There  were  born 
to  this  union  three  sons  and  two  daughters,  all  of  whom, 
with  the  exception  of  one  daughter  who  died  in  infancy, 
are  still  living.     He  lost  his  wile  three  years  ago. 

Mr.  Jennings  has  lived  a  useful  and  honorable  life. 
In  politics  he  is  a  Republican,  but  has  never  held  an 
office,  and  has  left  his  mark  on  the  industries  of  his 
home  city.  The  channels  through  which  he  has  made 
himself  felt  have  not  brought  his  v.-orks  conspicuously 
before  the  world,  but  none  the  less  has  he  done  full 
duty  and  been  of  more  use  than  many  who  have  made 
a  stir  in  the  world.  With  a  clean  personal  record,  hon- 
ored by  all  who  know  him  and  loved  by  those  who 
know  him  best,  content  to  have  done  the  best  the  cir- 
cumstances about  him  would  allow,  he  is  spending  the 
afternoon  of  life  in  peace,  and  has  no  fear  of  the 
future  tov,-ard  whicli  his  face  is  turned.

In  conformity  with  the  family  tradition,  we  have 
inclnded  these  three  names  in  the  list  of  the  "Seven 
Brothers."  Concerning  this  tradition  and  its  discus- 
sion, the  reader  is  referred  to  Chapter  I. 

All  details  of  family  history  and  names  of  descend- 
ants of  these  three  are  unknown  to  the  compiler.

CHAPTER  VII. 

"Choosing  rather  to  siit!er  alllictiou  with  the  people  of  God, 
thau  to  CDJoy  the  pleasures  of  sin  for  a  season." — Heb.  11  -.^o. 

THE  WEST  JERSEY  JENNINGS. 

The  original  purpose  of  the  compiler  of  these 
records,  was  to  trace,  as  accurately  as  may  be,  the  lin- 
eage of  the  family  to  which  he  himself  belonged.  But 
in  tlie  course  of  his  labors  towards  that  end,  such  an 
amount  of  information  concerning  the  collateral  and 
allied  families  of  the  Jennings  name  has  been  accumu- 
lated, that  it  has  seemed  good  to  preserve  it  in  a  per- 
manent form,  even  though  incomplete  and  imperfect,  in 
the  hope  that  it  may  be  found  useful,  though  ouly  by 
the  way  of  suggestion,  to  anyone  who  may  hereafter  be 
able  to  supply  the  facts  at  present  unknown  to  the 
compiler. 

Thus  it  is  that  he  is  enabled  to  present  sometliing 
of  the  West  Jersey  Family;  and  it  is  not  an  unpleasant 
task,  inasmuch  as  to.  this  family  belong  some  who  have 
been  factors  in  forming  both  civic  and  ecclesiastic  pol- 
itics in  America,  and  whose  names  have  found  an  hon- 
ored and  permanent  place  in  the  history  they  them- 
selves largely  made. 

The  compiler  is  pleased  'to  acknowledge  here  his 
indebtedness  to  Dr.  John  R;  Stevenson,  of  Haddon- 
field,  N.  J.,  for  the  very  kind  and  efficient  help  so  will- 
ingly rendered,  and  to  him  is  to  be  very  largely  cred- 
ited the  labor  of  compiling  and  furnishing  the  facts 
here  presented  concerning  the  family  of  Samuel  Jen- 
nings; and  to  Dr.  William  S.  Long,  of  I-Iaddonfield, 
N.  J.,  for  his  kind  assistance  in  compiling  the  records 
of  the  family  of  Henry  Jennings. 


W'KST  JERSKY    JENNINGS  337 

That  no  complications  may  arise  in  the  use  of  the 
index  to  this  volume,  the  members  of  this  famil)'  are 
designated  by  consecutive  numbers  continued  from  the 
numbering  of  the  East  Jerse)'  families. 

The  historj'  of  these  families  and  the  parts  they 
have  taken  in  life  v/ill  fall  out  from  the  sketches  of  the 
various  individuals  mentioned  in  this  lineage. 

There  are  two  families  whose  relationship  is  un- 
known. If  Samuel  and  Henry  were  related  it  was  not 
nearer  than  cousins.  The  compiler  has  no  information 
concerning  any  relation  between  them  other  than  the 
common  family  name ;  but  because  they  lived  at  the 
same  tirue  and  in  the  same  countries,  they  are  grouped 
together.     Whence  the  heads  of  tiie

FIRST    GENERATION.  330 

Samuel  Jenings''"  "was  a  man  of  education,  stand- 
ing^, influence  and  prominence,  and  v/as  a  member  of 
the  Societ)' of  Friends.  In  I*)??  he  v.'as  a  minister  in 
the  London  J.Ionthly  Meeting.  His  cominj^  to  America 
was  occasioned  by  Edward  Byllinge  claiming  the  right 
to  govern  New  Jersey,  after  having  sold  a  large  portion 
to  others.  The  Friends,  who  M-ere  the  actual  owners, 
not  caring  to  cause  a  contest  at  that  time,  submitted 
quietly,  and  Samuel  Jenings  came  out  as  his  deput}' 
from  his  home  in  March,  IGSO,  arriving  at  Burlington 
in  October  of  that  year.  He  continued  to  act  in  that 
capacity  for  three  years,  when,  in  1GS3,  he  was  elected 
Governor  for  one  \'ear."  Having  been  elected  by  the 
Provincial  Assembly,  Byllinge  denied  his  riglit  to  serve, 
and  attempted  to  remove  him  from  ofiice,T  but  he 
seems  to  have  served  out  his  term. 

"At  tl:e  expiration  of  his  teim  lie  was  sent  with 
Thomas  Budd  to  England  to  arrange  with  the  propne- 
lors  to  have  the  ofuce  of  governor  made  elective.  Not 
succeeding,  he  returned  home,  and  in  1GS5  was  elected 
a  member  of  the  West  Jersey  Assembly.  lu  1C87  the 
'Council  of  Proprietors'  of  West  Jersey  was  organized 
with  eleven  members,  Sainuel  Jenings'  name  heading 
the  list.     This  association  is  still  in  existence. 

In  1G8P  he  removed  to  Philadelphia,  and  the  next 
year,  1G90,  v,-as  appointed  Receiver  General  of  Penn- 
sylvania. 

In  1690-3  he  was  justice  of  the  quorum  and  judge 
of  the  county  court.  He  became  involved  on  the 
Quaker  side  in  the  controversy  provoked  by  George 
Keith,  Thomas  Budd  and  others.  Out  of  this  contro- 
versy grew  the  historic  pamphlet,  "The  Plea  of  the 
Innocent,''  issued  by  Keith  and  Budd,  in  16^2,  in  which 
Jenings  was  charged  with  "being  too  high  and  imper- 
ious in  worldly  courts,"  and  was  called  "an  impudent, 
presuniptous  and  insolent  nu;u."i

"A  schism  having  ariseu  amon"  the  Friends,  Sam- 
uel Jenings  and  Thomas  Duckett  v/ere  appointed  by 
the  yearly  meeting  in  1694  to  visit  Loudon  and  lay  the 
matter  before  the  monthly  meeting  in  that  city.  The 
mission  being  successful,  Samuel  Jenings  returned  to 
America  and  took  up  his  residence  once  more  in 
Burlington  (1697-8). 

"The  provinces  of  East  and  West  Jersey  vvcre 
united  into  one — New  Jersey — in  1702,  and  Lord  Corn- 
bury  v,^as  appointed  Governor.  He  selected  a  council 
of  thirteen,  one  of  whom  was  Samuel  Jenings.  In 
1707  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Nev,-  Jeisey 
Assembly  and  was  chosen  its  Speaker.  Here  he  dis- 
tinguisned  himself  by  his  firm  and  successful  resistance 
to  the  arbitrary  measures  of  Cornbury.  The  next  year 
he  was  unable  to  attend  the  Assembly  on  account  of 
illness,  which  terminated  fatally.'' 

The  inhabitants  of  the  colony  of  New  York-  as 
well  as  those  of  Nev.'  Jersey,  became  wearied  of  the  mis- 
government  of  Cornbury  and  accordingly  they  deter- 
mined to  send  an  appeal  to  Queen  Anne  for  her  to  re- 
move the  Governor.  Samuel  Jennings  had  the  credit 
writing  the  address,  which  was  forwarded  to  the  home 
government,  and  by  so  doing  he  incurred  the  great  dis- 
pleasure of  Cornbury,  who  is  reported  to  have  .said 
"Jennings  was  the  most  impudent  man  he  ever  knew. '"^ 
However  it  had  the  desired  effect,  and  Lord  Cornbury 
was  recalled  in  1708,  the  year  of  Samuel  Jenning's 
death.  Proud,  the  liistorian,  wrote  that  "Samuel  Jen- 
nings was  worth}'  of  memory,  and  endowed  with  both 
spiritual  and  temporal  wisdom  ;  was  suppressor  of  vice 
and  eucourager  of  virtue. "  He  was  one  of  those  rare 
individuals  in  whom  was  concentrated  a  variety  of 
qualifications  and  mental  endowments,  by  which,  under 
the  sanctifying  power  of  truth,  he  was  made  eminentlj' 
useful  to  his  fellow-men,  both  in  his  ministerial  and 
civil  capacity.  He  did  more  than  any  of  his  cotcmpor- 
aries   in    organizing    the    civil    government    of    Vvest

He  married  »Sarah  Jennings  Nov.  16,  1699,  iu  Friend's

the  wedding.  He  left  one  son,  Isaac  Pennington. 
{Dr.  J.  R.  Stevenson  ill  the  Jci'seyman.  V.:/%No.j,p.  i"].) 

Thomas  Stevenson,  the  second  husband  oi  Sarah 
Jennings  was  born  probably  about  1674.  A  '^dced  re- 
corded in  Buck's  County,  Pennsylvania,  and  dated 
January  20,  1701,  recites  that  Thomas  Revell  sold  to 
"  Thomas  Stevenson,  junior,  of  Long  Island"  for  £500, 
1000  acres  on  the  south  side  of  Nesliamiuy  Creel:. 
This  was  in  Bensalem  town.shiji,  a  short  distance  from 
the  present  lin.e  of  the  city  of  Philadelphia,  and  near  to 
the  Delaware  River.  The  succeeding  year  (March  IC) 
he  added  to  his  possession  2, -500  acres  en  the  sotith west 
bank  of  the  same  stream.  Tliat  he  had  not  moved  on 
.to  this  land  is  shown  by  the  records  of  the  Flushing 
Friends'  JNleeting*  which  in  1702,  states  that  Tb.oi-nas 
Stevenson,  senior,  and  Thomas  Stevenson,  junior,  had 
each  a  horse  returned  to  tliem  as  the  residtof  a  petition 
to  Gov.  Lord  Cornbury,  after  they  had  been  destraiued 
for  the  building  of  a  church.  "  At  a  Monthly  Meeting 
held  at  ye  meeting  house  in  Flushi  ig,  the  2d.  6  mo.  99, 
Thomas  .Stevenson,  Junior,  desires  a  certificate  from 
this  meeting  to  friends  of  West  New  Jersey,  concerning 
his  orderly  walking  amongst  us  which  thi.s  meeting 
has  granted.''  From  this  it  would  appear  that  he  at 
first  intended  to  locate  in  New  Jersey,  but  having 
bought  laud  in  Pennsylvania  he  had  changed  his  mind, 
for  at  the  Flushing  Monthly  meeting  held  2d.,  2 mo. 
1702,  Thomas  Stevenson,  senior,  of  Newtov;n,  requests 
a  certificate  of  clearance  for  his  son  Thomas. 

Thomas  Stevenson  was  elected  a  member  of  tlie 
Pennsylvania  Assembly  iu  1710,  and  served  contin- 
uously until  his  death  in  1719,  He  was  likewise  one  of 
the  eight  Justices  of  the  Peace  for  Bucks  County.  In 
the  year  1712  he  v/as  elected  a  member  of  the   Council

On  "1  day,  11  mo.,  1699,"  William  vStevensou  and 
Ann  Jenings  a  second  time  declared  their  intention  to 
marriage,  "he  producing  certificates  from  Long  Island 
and  Chesterfield.''  The  ceremony  was  performed  at 
Burlington,  November  16,  1690,  at  the  same  time  that 
Sarah  Jenings,  sister  to  Ann,  married  Edward  Penning- 
ton. William  Penn  was  present  and  signed  tlie  *cer- 
tificate  as  one  of  the  witnesses.  A  deed  dated  April 
15,  170-2,  recites  that  William  Stevenson  of  Northamp- 
ton Township,  Burlington  County,  buys  of  Samuel 
Jenings  of  Burlington,  for  ;^900,  "all  that  plantation 
called  Green  Plill  in  Northampton  Township,  525  acres 
as  it  is  laid."  This  appears  to  have  been  Gov.  Jenings' 
country  home ;  his  small  brick  house  with  a  brass 
knocker  on  the  door,  bearing  the  initials  S.  J.  is  still 
standing  and  is  now  attached  to  a  newer  building  and 
is  used  as  a  tenant  house. 

William  .Stevenson  v.'as  elected  a  member  of  the 
Council  of  Proprietors  of  West  Jersey  in  1711.  He  also 
represented  Burlington  County  in  the  first  Nev.'  Jersey 
Assembly,  which  met  at  Perth  Amboy  in  1703,  after  the 
union  of  the  Provinces  of  East  and  West  Jersey  in  the 
year  previous.  His  Nvill  is  dated  in  Northampton 
Township,  April  24,  1724,  and  was  probated  June  2d 
of  that  year.  Eike  his  brother  Thomas,  William 
Stevenson  bought  large  tracts  of  land  which  he  sub- 
divided and  sold  to  actual  settlers  for  small  homesteads.

John  Sleven.son,  hustand  of  ]\Iercy  JeuingSj  the 
youngest  sou  of  Thomas  ",i;d  Elizabetli  Stevenson,  was 
born  in  Ncwlowu,  L-  L,  hut  probably  removed  from 
Newtown  to  his  father's  land  on  Doctor's  Creek, 
Nottingham  Township,  Burlington  County,  N.  J.,  some 
time  after  his  brother  William's  marriage  (KiS'O),  for 
we  find  iu  the  minute  book  ol  the  Chesterfield  meeting, 
the  nearest  Friends'  house  of  worship  to  these  lauds, 
and  entry  day  7  day,  1  mo.,  17fl5-G,  that  "John  vStevcn- 
son  desired  a  clearauce  on  account  of  marriage."  This 
was  followed  by  his  declaration  a  second  time,  in  t)ie 
Burlington  monthly  meeting,  C  day,  3  nio.,  1706,  of  his 
intention  to  marry  Mercy  Jenings,  daughter  of  Samuel. 

John  Stevenson  took  no  part  in  public  affairs,  but 
remained  on  his  plantation  until  the  death  of  his  wife, 
Mercy,  which  took  place  between  1720  and  1724.*  His 
second  marriage  occurred  in  the  latter  year.  The  niiu- 
utes  ol  the  meeting  held  at  Chesterfield  1  day,  S  mo., 
1724,  record  that  "Jolm  Stevenson  and  Margaret  Wood, 
both  belonging  to  this  meeting,  declared  tlieir  intention

of  taking-  each  other  in  marriage,  v/liereupon  this  meet- 
ing appoints  otir  friends  John  Tatum  and  John  Abbott 
to  make  inquir)'  of  his  cicaraiice  Irom  all  others  on 
account  of  marriage,  and  make  report  to  our  next 
monthly  meeting." 

On  5  day,  9  mo.,  1724,  John  Stevenson  a  second 
time  declared  his  intention  to  marry  Margaret  Wood. 

After  his  second  marriage  John  Stevenson  did  not 
remain  long  orr  Doctor's  Creek.  He  had  previouslj'^ 
sold  part  of  his  plantation,  but  on  October  10,  1727,  his 
wife  Margaret  joiirs  him  in  a  conveyance  "  to  Thomas 
Betts,  late  of  Newtown,  Long  Island,"  for  "all  that 
plantation  whereon  he  now  liveth  on  the  north  side  of 
Doctor's  Creek"  bounded  by  land  of  Benjamin  Rob- 
bins,  Joseph  Brittain,  and  Natlianiel  Stevenson. '■'■ 

It  was  probably  the  influence  of  his  wife's  family 
that  induced  him  to  purchase  one  week  afterward,  Oc- 
tober 17,  of  Daniel  Smith,  200  acres  in  Hunterdon 
County,  on  the  west  side  of  the  road  from  Ouakertown 
to  Ringoes,  two  miles  south  of  the  former  village. f  For 
neighbors  he  liad  his  nephew,  vSamuel  Stevenson,  son 
of  his  brother  Thomas,  and  Jacob  Doughty,  whose  wife 
was  his  second  cousin.  While  this  removal  from  Bur- 
lington to  Hunterdon  County  seems  a  trivial  circuiri- 
stance,  it  had  much  to  do  historically  with  the  founding 
of  the  first  Friend's  Meeting  in  New  Jersey,  north,  of 
the  Falls  of  the  Delaware  (Trenton). 

John  Stevenson  died  intestate  in  1744. — Dr.  J.  R.

most  eccentric  aud  picturesque  figures  in  earl)'  colonial 
times.  Francis  Doughtj'  was  the  .sen  of  a  brewer  in 
Bristol,  England,  and  the  brother-in-law  of  Governor 
Stone  of  Maryland.  He  was  educated  for  the  church, 
but  cast  in  his  lot  with  the  Puritans,  and  emigrated  to 
America.  We  find  him  located  at  Cohasset,  now 
Taunton,  Mass.  Here  he  got  into  a  dispute  with  the 
elders  on  the  subject  of  infant  baptism,  and  pressed  his 
views  so  vehemently  that  he  and  his  wife  and  children 
were  banished.  He  fled  to  Rhode  Island,  and  from 
thence  joined  one  of  the  first  Knglish  Colonies  that 
settled  among  the  Dutch  on  Long  Island.  He  became 
the  Pastor  of  the  little  community  that  settled  at  Mezpah- 
Kill,  afterwards  Newtown.  This  settlement  v/as  bro- 
ken up  by  the  Indians  in  1643;  the  remnaut  of  the 
colony,  with  Mr.  Doughty,  fied  to  New  Amsterdam, 
where  he  preached  in  the  church  in  the  Fort.  He 
made  a  claim  for  the  colonists'  land  at  Mezpah-Kill  as 
his  own,  which  was  di.sputed  aud  decided  against  him 
in  1G47,  but  he  was  allowed  the  land  he  had  in  poses- 
sion.  Appealing  from  this  decision,  the  Dutch 
Director,  General  Kieft,  fined  him  ten  guelders  and 
locked  him  up  in  prison  for  twenty-four  hours.  Upon 
his  release,  Mr.  Doughty  applied  for  permission  to  go  to 
Holland  or  the  West  Indies,  but  this  was  refused.  He 
had  accepted  a  call  from  the  Congregational  Churcli  at 
Flushing,  h-  1.,  where  he  preached  during  1616  and 
1647.  Here  he  again  got  into  trouble  by  denouncing 
the  authorities,  so  that  Capt.  John  Underhill,  who  was 
then  living  in  that  town,  locked  the  doors  of  the  church 
against  him.  Mr.  Douglity,  leaving  his  three  children 
behind  him,  in  1G48  emigrated  to  Maryland.  There  he 
appears  to  have  changed  his  religion  and  returned  to 
the  English  Cliurch,  and  became  Rector  of  Sitting- 
bourne  Parish  in  Virginia.  While  officiating  here,  he 
baptized,  in  1G50,  the\eldest  sou  of  John  Washington, 
grandfatjier  of  Geoige  Washington.  Here  also  he  got 
into  difliculties  for  denying  the  supremacy  of  llic  King, 
contrary  to  the  canons  of  the  church. 

Rev.  Francis  Doughty  had  three  children  :  Mary, 
Francis,  Jr.,  and  Elias.  Elias  was  the  grand  father  of 
Daniel  Doughty.

CHAPTER  IX. 

"Of  whom    it   -was  snid,    That   iu   IsaiiC  shall  thy  wod  be 
■called."— Heb.  XI:  18. 


The  liistory  of  the  family-  of  Henry  Jennings  is 
especially  to  be  noticed,  because  it  -was  through  this 
branch  of  the  Jennings  name,  the  great  effort  of  the 
"  Isaac  Jennings  Association  "  way  directed  toward  the 
establishing  of  the  rights  of  its  members  as  claimants 
to  tiie  estate  of  "William  of  Actoii." 

It  is  with  the  belief  that  it  is  the  best  commentary 
upon  the  work  of  the  "Association''  and  its  expecta- 
tions, that  the  compiler  is  glad  to  present  the  state- 
ment made  iu  a  letter  from  Dr.  W.  S.  Long : 

Haddonfielk,  X.  J.,  1  Apr.,  1S99. 
W.  H.  Jennings,  E.sq.: 

My  Dear  Sir— Your  favor  of  Iftth  ISfar.  in  regard  to  History  of 
the  Jc')iL!inf,'.s  family  w;i.^  received  aud  I  take  jjlea.sure  in  forward- 
ing the  following  notes  on  the  Isaac  Jennings  branch— pririciiially 
located  iu  We.st  New  Jersey. 

At  various  times  iu  the  past  ten  years,  papers,  letters,  (lani- 
phlets  and  pedigrees,  etc.,  relating  to  the  Jennings  family, 
have  been  submitted  to  me  for  examination.  Without  entering 
into  a  dLscussiou  of  the  justice  of  the  claim  of  persons  who  are 
■descended  from  Isaac  Jennings  of  Gloucester  Co.,  !N.  J.,  to  a  for- 
tune reputed  to  exist  iu  England,  I  will  only  .s.ay  that  in  the 
pedigrees,  the  connecting  links  between  Isaac  Jennings  and  the 
famous  "William  the  Intestate"  of  Aclon,  Eug.,  so  fai^  as  my 
knowledge  goes,  are  exceediugly  unniliable,  being  constructed  on  a 
basis  of  .'^urmj.se,  totally  devoid  of  support  of  otncial  or  bible 
family  records  or  documentary  evidence  and  have  n.i;  even  tra- 
dition -^vith  its  oftime  flimsy  evidence  to  tall  back  upon. 

One  pamphlrt  purjiorting  to  be  a  History  of  the  "Jennens" 
Estate,  i)re.^:enling  the  jiedii'Tces  of  th.e  V/e.^t  .iersey  el.umnnts  and 
bearing  the  name  of  one  of  their  atlovneys  as  compiler,  is  so  full  of 


358  D£sci;xcA,'';i\s  oi-*  samuel. 

palpable  errors  that,  the  veri(.-.-t  fyrn  in  Geueiilotry  would  be  able 
to  distinguish  them.  It  's  uot  cieditable  to  the  discretion,  wis- 
dom or  business  uptitude  of  the  ruling  eleujent  among  these 
claimants,  that  they  should  have  entrusted  tlio conduct  of  a  claim 
so  important  in  Hie  hands  of  agccts  who  had  shown  in  their 
work  and  writings  their  gross  ignorance  of  the  c.oustrnctiv)U  of 
the  family  pedigree.  It  would  seem  verj'  esseuf  ial  that  the  pedi- 
gree should  prove  by  good  and  reasonal)le  evidence,  the  connec- 
tion of  each  generation  witli  ihe  preceding,  and,  finally,  the 
relationship  of  the  first  in  America  with  "William  of  Acton.'' 

Nothing  of  this  nature  was  done.  "Without  attempting  appar- 
ently to  prove  the  links  of  connection  in  this  country,  and,  so  fiir 
as  I. can  learn,  without  attempting  a  tliorough  seareir  in  the  ofiice 
of  the  Secretary  of  State  at  Trenton,  ZST.  J.,  for  wills,  deeds,  etc., 
they  rnshed  off  to  England  to  present  a  claim  to  untold  millioiis, 
for  which  they  could  show  not  a  shadow  of  title  other  than  the 
possession  of  a  surname.  They  conld  not  show  conclusively  ths 
relationship  of  Isaac  Jennings  of  Old  Gloucester  County,  and 
Ileury  of  Salem  and  Philadelphia,  through  whom  they  claimed 
heirship,  and  until  this  is  done  aud  reasonable  evidence  is  given 
that  Henry  of  Salem  is  heir-at-law  or  next  of  kin  to  "William  of 
Acton,"  it  is  folly  for  the  W'est  .Jersey  claimants  to  j)ursue  the 
iyiu/s  fattens  further  iu  an  English  Court  of  Law.  The  agents 
of  these  claimants  succeeded  iu  amusing  aud  deceiving  a.  large 
number  of  respectable  but  too  credulous  peojjle,  who  paid  their 
assessments  with  becomiug  regularity,  and  in  turn  were  regaled 
with  glowing  descriptions  ol  great  iron  bound  aud  triple-locked 
chests  iu  the  vaults  of  the  Bank  of  England,  filled  with  coin 
and  plate,  all  of  which  were  to  speedily  pass  into  their  possession. 

Whether  Isaac  of  Gloucester  aud  Kenry  of  Phila- 
delphia were  related,  as  son  to  father,  or  indeed  in  auy 
way,  is  a  problem  difficult  of  solution.  The  compiler 
has  treated  them  as  father  and  son,  but  is  pleased  to 
present  adverse  testimony  in  the  form  of  a  recent  letter 
from  W.  vS.  Long : 

Haddoxfield,  N.  J.,  7  Aug.,  1S99. 
W.  H.  jE.XNixcis,  Esq.  : 

Mj'  Dear  Sir — The  subject  of  the  relationship  of  PTenry  Jcn- 
ijings,  of  Piiiladelphia,  aud  Isaac,  of  Gloucester,  has  been  the 
object  of  a  thorough  search  in  Philadelphia,  Trenton  and  Wood- 
bury, where  the  ancient  deeds  aud  wills  bearing  on  tlu!  subjecl; 
are  to  be  found.    The  result  of  my  labor  is  as  follows : 

The  family  descended  from  Isaac  Jennings  of  Gloucester 
Couuty,  did  not  trace  their  origin  farther  back  until  after  the  voy- 
age of  the  jVrgoiiauts  lor  the  golden,  piize  in    1-JngIau'i.-    Their

agents  soou  found  it  necossrry  in  cliseovcr  au  ancestor,  aud  it 
required  but  slight  rfseaix'li  to  find  tlie  wills  of  Heury  mid  Jlar- 
garet  Jeimiiigs  at  Trenlou.  Tbeie  -was  uo  discoverable  li-aditiou 
of  Henry  bearing  any  relationship  to  Lsaac.  He  does  not  jiiention 
children  in  his  will.  He  leaves  a  farm  which  lie  bought  of 
*Tliomas  Graves  to  Isaac  Jcnuing.-,  and  the  house  in  which  he 
Jived  to  "my  cousiu  Margaret  Jennings,"  daughter  of  Isa:ic,  of 
Liondon.  Ko  mention  is  made  of  Sarah  Jennings  and  surely  a 
daughter  v.-ould  take  precedence  over  a  niece. 

About  ]71.5,  our  Isaac  .lennings  appeared  and  bought  laud  in 
New  Jersey,  about  eight  iiiiles  from  Philadelphia  Avhere  Henry 
died  ten  years  before  and  where  several  families  of  the  surname 
lived  whose  relationship,  if  any,  does  not  appear.  No  record 
either  in  Pennsylvania  or  Now  Jersey  shows  that  lie  had  ever 
inherited  laud  fi'mn  T-lenry  or  Margaret  Jennings  of  Philadelphia. 
Outside  of  a  common  baptismal  name  in  connection  wiih  a  sur- 
name of  frequent  occurs ence,  there  was  uo  reason  for  associating 
Henry  and  Isaac  as  father  and  son  until  the  stern  necessity  arose 
of  finding  Ihe  missing  link  to  a  great  treasure-trove.  The  inge- 
nuity of  tJie  Genealogists  was  taxed  to  bring  Isaac  of  Gloucester 
one  generation  nearer  the  goal  (or  gold)  of  their  hopes — and  behold 
a  pedigree! 

It  was  calculated  to  keep  the  purses  of  the  agents  and  attor- 
neys well  (illed —  tlieir  coustiluents  wei'e  buoyed  up  with  hopes 
which  were  bound  to  be  dashed  to  ground  eventually,  by  a  tk-,tiou 
which  woiild  have  uo  weight  even  in  the  lowest  courts  of  law  in 
any  civilized  country. 

There  is  uo  evidence  which  would  be  accepted  in  ovir  courts 
that  Henry  of  Salem  and  Philadelphia  was  the  father  of  Isaac 
whose  descendants  are  here  given.

Henry  Jennings  was  a  prominent  meml^er  of  Salem 
I\Ionth]y  Meeting  of  Friends,  soon  after  its  organiza- 
tion. He  was  the  son  of  William  and  Mary  Jennings, 
born  the  '21st  of  7th  month,  1642,  in  the  County  of 
Surrey,  England.  Henry  and  his  wife,  Margaret  Jen- 
nings, embarked  for  America  in  the  ship  Kent,  Captain 
Gregory,  and  lauded  at  New  Salem  2;M  of  Oth  month, 
1G77.  In  1GS2,  John  Adams,  son-in-law  of  John  Fen- 
wick,  sold  Henry  Jennings  200  acres  of  land.  He 
likewise  purchased  a  considerable  tract  of  land  in 
Cohansey  precinct,  it  being  near  the  town  of  Cohansey, 
(now  Greenwich).  Henry  and  his  wife  removed  from 
Salem  and  located  in  the  city  of  Philadelphia,  about  llie 
year  1700,  and  at  that  place  ended  their  days.  He  was 
a  tailor  by  trade  and  followed  it  in  that  city.  He  died 
in  1706  and  made  his  will  the  year  previous;    and,  not

There  are  many  persons  in  West  New  Jersey  who 
are  said  tobe  descended  from  Henry  Jennings.  This 
seems  to  me  to  be  probable,  and  I  shall  therefore  pre- 
sent such  references  to  him  as  have  appeared  in  official 
and  historical  records.  The  following  I  am  told  by  a 
former  Secretary  of  the  "  Jenneus  Association,"  was 
•certified  to  by  Richard  M.  Acton,  Custodian  of  Records 
of  Salem  Monthly  Meeting,  8lh  mo.  U,  J  878  : 

"  Hf  niy  Jenuiugs,  sod  of  ^Villial;l  and  Maiy,  was  horn  7  mo.

West  ]SIew  Jersey  on  sljip  'Kent'  2  uio. .:-,  1077,  with  their  servant, 
Martha,  da  lighter  of  .John  Ba.^set,  arriving  at  Salem,  6  mo.  2o,  1077." 

Judge  Clement,  in  "  First  Settlers  in  Newton 
Tov.'n.ship  "  p.  287,  further  states  that  Margaret  Basse 
■was  of  the  Parish  of  St.  Bartholomew,  London. 

Henry  Jennings  was  a  Friend  and  so  far  as  we  can 
learn  a  strict  member  of  the  Society.  I  have  collected 
a  few  memoranda  of  the  man  while  living  at  Salem, 
N.  J.,  prior  to  his  removal  to  the  city- of  Philadirlphia. 
He  and  his  wife  Margaret,  frequently  appear  as  \i\\.-

I  have  never  made  any  search  at  Trenton  for

told  me  that  neither  the  Surve}  or  General's  ofince  at 
Burlington,  or  the  Secretary  of  State's  office  at  Trenton 
had  been  systematically  searched  for  data  relating  to 
the  family,  and  that  doubtless  much  cov.ld  be  learned

In  ]7l."',  Isaac  Jcmiiugs  bought  land  of  John  KnjTS 
(Executor  of  J.\Iargaret  J.)  at  head  of  Timber  Creek. 
Where  this  land  is  situate  we  know  not.  L;aac  ov/ued 
land  south  of  Haddonfield  and  it  is  believed  he  lived  a 
short  distance  beyond  the  Phila.  &  Atlantic  City  R.  R. 
on  the  road  from  Haddonfield  to  Clement's  Ridge.  His 
son  Jacob,  in  1784,  bought  the  farm  at  Barringtou 
recentl).-  sold  by  Burr  Haines,  and  his  father's  we 
believe  was  not  far  to  the  soutli  of  this  tract. 

Isaac  and  his  wile  Juditli  were  members  of  Friends' 
Meeting  in  Haddonfield  and  both  we  believe  are  buried 
in  the  graveyard  beionging  to  it. 

1724  to  1727.  From  Gushing  and  Sheppard's  Hist. 
of  Gloucester,  Salem  and  Cumberland  Counties,  page 
124,  we  learn  that  Isaac  Jenniugs  was  Justice  of  tlie 
County  of  Gloucester  during  those  years. 

1740,  r;th  mo.  14th.  Under  this  date  appears  a 
minute  in  Haddonfield  Meetings  Records,  which  shows 
the  time  of  his  becoming  a  member: 

"At  ye  Request  of  Isaac  Jennings,  Fr'ds  eoiisent  that  he  may

and  became  the  owner  of  land  in  Greenwich  Township. 
Kis  surname  was  generally  spelled  phoneticall}',  and,

In  Gushing  and  Sheppard's  Hist,  of  Gloucester  Co.

appointed  to  meet  a  like  committee  from  Salem  Co.  to 
mark  the  boundaries  between  the  two  counties. 

In  1765,  the  arms  belonging  to  the  County  were 
divided  into  four  equal  lots  and  given

Concerning  Samuel  Flanningham,  Sanine]  P.  Chev/ 
in  liis  Jennings  Pedigree,  says  lie  was  a  wheel-wright 
and  lived  in  Woodbury;     had  a  wife  Hannah,  and  a

adds  "father  of  Davy."  But  according  to  biographies 
this  could  not  have  been  the  celebrated  "Davy."

Martha,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Hannah  Flauuinghara, 
of  Swedesborough,  Gloucester  County,  N.  J.,  v/idovv'  of

JOShUA  OF  CONNECTICUT. 

"Kh.vc  not  I  coinnr-iudeil  thoe?  Be  iifrong  and  of  ;,  good

thy  b'od  is  wiili  Dkh-  wliilbersoevcr  lliou  {;o"st."--Jof;lii!fi  1  : 9. 

In  pre.senthig  the  records  of  the  family  of  Joshua, 
the  couipiler  feels  that  the  work  he  has  attemptcci  Nvill 
ue  the  more  nearly  complete  e.vd  the  more  nsefi'l.  Ard. 
iirasmtich  as  it  is  the  first  time  an  effort  has  been 
Diade  to  bring  into  one  collection,  the  lecortls  of  the 
various  families  of  the  Jenniug  name,  he  thinks  him- 
self fortunate  in  having  received  the  benefls  of  the 
labors  of  others,  whose  kindness  has  permitted  hii'i 
thus  to  attain  the  more  comprehensive  restilts.  For 
what  is  here  presenied  concerning;  the  family  of  Joshua, 
much  credit  must  be  given  to  Abraham  Gould  Jen- 
nings, of  Brooklyn,  whose  contributions  to  the  Atiieri- 
can  Family  Antiquity,  by  Albert  Welles,  has  been  drawn 
on  to  the  ftillest  extent.  Tlie  compiler  is  largely  in- 
debted also  to  Mr.  Francis  A.  White,  of  Everett,  Wash- 
ington, for  the  results  of  his  labor,  and  the  corrections 
and  other  matter  supplemental  to  the  history  as  given 
in  Avierican  Family  Aatiqinty.  From  the  pen  of  Mr. 
White  we  have  the  following: 

"  For  many  years  I  have  had  a  desire  to  trace  the 
lineage  of  my  mother,  Mariett  Jennings  White,  and  to 
perpetuate  the  remembrance  of  her  in  my  own  family 
and  the  descendants  of  her  children,  I  have  at  this 
late  date  prepared  the  following  pages,  with  valuable 
assistance  from  others;  audit  is  most  agreeable   to  me

*'  The  record  of  the  birth  of  Joshua  Jennings  has 
never  been  found,  and  it  is  not  known  when  he  came 
to  this  country.  From  the  date  of  his  marriage  it  is 
reasonable  to  suppose  that  he  was  born  previous  to 
1G20,  and  that  he  came  to  America  in  one  of  the  many 
ships  loaded  with  imigranis,  betv.een  1G30  and  IGIO. 
He  died  in  Fairfield,  in  IGT-'i,  andhis  will  was  filed  and 
proven  in  that  year.  The  first  record  ofhitn  is  in 
Hartford,  Conn.,  as  having  married  Mary  "Williams  in

that  towp-,  J)cc.  -2,  1 G47,  elcvivj  vetrs  after  tne  town 
was  first  settled  by  Rev.  Thoiiias  Ilooker  aud  his  cou- 
gregation,  who  separated  from  tl'.e  colou}'  at  Cambridge, 
Mass.,  on  accouut  of  his  disagreement  with  Rev.  John 
Cotton,  in  the  Aiitinomian  Coutroversy  in  1G36.  He 
left  Hartford  iu  1650  with  hi.s  \vife,  by  ship,  and  settled 
in  Fairfield.  TIjC  tradition  of  liis  family  is  that  he 
landed  first  at  v.-hat  is  now  called  Bridgeport  and  went 
to  Barlow';;  i'iain.  He  was  an  intelligent  and  industri- 
ous man,  a  worthy  citizen,  and  maintained  an  excellent 
reputation.  He  died  in  1675,  leaving  a  good  estate  to 
his  wife  and  children."* 

"  From  Joshtia  Jennings,  who  settled  i<i  Fairfield, 
Conn.,  in  1650  or  earlier,  and  who  died  in  Fairfield  in 
1674,  have  descended  many  families  who  have  done 
much  toward  the  populating  of  Fairfield  and  the  adja- 
cent towns;  extending  the  industrial  arts  ot  peace  and 
commerce,  agriculture  and  manufactures. 

Tlie  numerous  descendants  are  traced  down 
through  all  the  Probate  and  Church  Records  of  Fair- 
field, and  the  neighboring  villages  and  towns.  Green 
Farms,  which  was  formerly  Fairfield,  West  Parish,  is 
composed  largely  of  people  of  the  name  of  Jennings. 
Many  of  the  descendants  of  Joshua  are  now  (1881)  oc- 
cupying land  set  out  to  him  when  what  is  known  in 
Green  Farms  as  the  '  long  lots  '  were  laid  out.  Much 
of  the  property  in  the  northern  part  of  the  town  of 
Fairfield,  in  a  section  called  'Jennings  Woods,'  or 
properly  'Jennings  Farm,'  was  owned  by  Joshua  Jen- 
nings. There  is  not  a  burying-ground  but  has  its  old 
free-stone  of  one  hundred  years  ago,  and  the  white 
marble  of  today,  to  the  memory  of  a  Jennings. 

"  Their  name  is  associated  witl^  thrift  and  prosper- 
ity; honest,  iudustiiou;;  and  orderly  lives;  domt.stic  in 
their  habits,  or  fond  of  iiome  life;  retiring,  not  seeking 
publicity.  They  were  also  patriotic  as  the  Records 
show,  ready  to  risk  property  and  life  in  the  defence  of 
their  country. "t
