I will list the info that I have on my Jennings lines. Most of it is off the net and has not been proved by me.
I have 2 Jennings siblings bringing down 4 of my lines.
Margaret (Polly) (Peggy) Jennings, b. c1750, mar William Tobias Phillips Sr. and was mother to 3 of my lines, Elizabeth Nancy b. 1783, Mary (Polly) b. 1776 and William Tobias, Jr. b. 1770 This generation was in Grayson co, Va with William coming from Richmond co, Va.
William Jennings b. 12-16-1750 in Bedford co, Va marr Elizabeth Ogle?. Their son Jonathan Jennings b. 1780 mar Nancy Henson. They had a daughter, Mary b. 1816 who married Thomas Dalton, of Timothy’s line.
Margaret and William were children of Jonathan Jennings b. 1723 and Diannah Bobbitt b. 1730 in Pittsylvania co, Va. [ sidenote… Diannah’s mother was Elizabeth Dalton, sister to my Timothy Dalton main surname line. ]
Jonathan was son of Thomas Jennings b. c 1695 and Elizabeth Ogle b. before 1723
I’ll check my Carroll co books and post what they say about Jennings in New River plateau
Glad we connected!
My Jennings are from Nottoway County, Va. Family history says that we have ties to William Jennings’ who was born in England and died in Amelia County, now Nottoway, in 1775. The house is still standing. Family history also claims that Master Jennings’ sired several children from a Nottoway Indian slave working on his plantation.
My family members are listed as Free Issue, Mulato or colored.
Names connected with the family are: Guy, Williams, Epes and Jones.

Did a google search and came up with the site below. Not only does it show William Jennings of Amelia Co as original settler and eventually owning 10,000 acres and many buildings……. but also show Jennings marrying Newtons and Daniel Meadows… the original!!…….. this brings my father’s western Va lines and my mother’s piedmont NC together back in 1700s Amelia/Nottoway Va. To quote Lynella, “How cool is that?” 😉

Hi Julie,
I have Jones and Guy in my family. Jones is the main line that I have been looking for. I have some of it posted on here at:

You may already be aware of the “List of Free Negroes and Mulattos Registered on the County of Lunenburg, Virginia” online, but it was recently sent to me. It is at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~valunenb/register.htm
It mentions Eppes and Williams. The Cordells/Cardles listed married into my Jones line.

My grandmother’s father, Moses Jones was from Petersburg, Va.
He was a teamster and traveled to Conn. and married a Pequot Woman. They are both Indain. Naturally, that’s where I get my good looks.
LOL
Julie
Naturally 😉
Do you know a general timeframe when your Moses Jones was born? My 3GGrandfather, Harbert “Harvey” Jones was born in Petersburg in 1812. I have some theories, but nothing proven on his parents.
Stacey
Julie,
Do you know where Evelina was born? Conneticut? Virginia? I found a Moses Jones in Amelia Co., Virginia in the 1870 and 1880 census records, but he didn’t have a daughter named Evelina.
Stacey
Hi Julie,
I am still looking for Moses in the earlier census records to see if we can connect the two Jones lines in Petersburg, but here is what I have found so far.

OH MY GOD!
That’s my family.
He married Jane E. in Conn, moved to povidence, had evelina, and sarah is my grandmother.
I have tears running dowm my face.
LOL
More thought regarding your post. Jane E. (Lathrop) Jones was Pequot living in Conn. Sarah L. Might be Sarah lena (evelina) their daughter, and not my grandmother. My grandmother may have been named after Evelina.
I’m so excited!!!
