Robert Jennings

(Abt 1660 - 1716)

}
== Biography =="He immigrated to Virginia before 1686 and lived in St Paul's Parish, New Kent County. His children are listed in the parish register, but there is no record of his marriage. He participated in the battles against the Indians and was given payment of 450# of tobacco in 1700. In 1704, he owned 100 acres of land and was a church warden" [http://www.jharoldjones.com/jennings/jennings/jennings.htm]
"The only Jennings living in the Hanover – New Kent County area was Robert Jennings, the baptism of whose sons John (1698) and William (1702) appear in the St. Peter’s parish register. No Jennings appears in the list of landowners for the 1689 processioning, and no Jennings patented land in New Kent or Hanover. Yet Robert Jennings owed quit rents on 100 acres in the year 1704. Added to the fact that he had an elder son named Robert whose baptism is not found in the St. Peter���s register, the logical conclusion is that he did not arrive in the New Kent area until perhaps the mid-1690s.40 Robert Jennings lived in what became Hanover County and served as a vestryman alongside Edward Garland in St. Paul’s parish. He died in late 1716, for at a vestry meeting on 22 October 1716 a replacement was elected for “Robt Jennings lately deceased”.41 His eldest son was Robert Jennings Jr. who was apparently of age in 1708 when he was assigned alongside Robert Jennings Sr. as a processioned."[http://www.genfiles.com/hester/some-background-on-the-garlands-of-new-kent-and-hanover/]
