Bible Record of Jacob Zion
Jennings
Born in 1799 in Spartanburg County, SC
This Bible Record was photocopied and published in the book,
White William Jennings, His Ancestors and Descendants. The book
was compiled by Jennings Harvel Flathers, a descendant of
Rhoda Prewett and Jacob Zion Jennings, and released 4 July
1976. In March 1998, Joanne Lee Travis spoke to Elizabeth
Flathers, widow of Jennings Harvel Flathers. Mrs. Flathers
said the book is not copyrighted and we may feel free to use the Bible
Record and she hopes it sparks more interest in the Jennings Family.
In 1790 census, Rowland Jennings is listed next to his mother,
Elizabeth, who is head of her household. Rowland appears to have
a wife, a son and daughter. Susannah Jennings, living next to
Elizabeth and Rowland is believed to be Elizabeth's daughter-in-law,
widow of James Jennings. Two other sons of Elizabeth, William
and Elijah Jennings are in their own households in the 1800 and 1810
censuses. Though there is no positive proof, it is believed that
Elizabeth's husband, father of Rowland, James, William, Elijah,
Jesse and possibly others, was William Augustine Jennings.
Jacob Zion Jennings is a son of Rowland Jennings
(Spartanburg County in 1790 Census) and Dianna __?__.
Doanna/Dianna released her dower rights when Rowland Jennings
sold land in Spartanburg County in 1807. This Jennings Family moved to
Caldwell Co., KY, later to Henry Co., TN, and, still later, descendants
to Boone Co., MO. One son, Jesse R. Jennings moved to Oregon,
burying his first wife and a baby somewhere along the Oregon Trail.
