Biography
John was born in 1698. He passed away in 1764.
Origins
"Robert Jennings Jr., who was not only quite prominent in civil and vestry affairs but who became quite wealthy as well, left a will in Hanover dated 6 December 1750 and proved 6 July 1758 which identifies his wife as Mary and two sons:
- John Garland Jennings
- and Robert Jennings.
The sons carried on the Garland name, as Robert Jennings III named his own eldest son Robert Garland Jennings. From this we can hypothesize that Robert Jennings Jr.’s his wife Mary may well have been Mary Garland. If so, the only possible father would have been Edward Garland Sr."[1]
