Biography

Sibel Gennings was born to Joseph Jennings Jr (abt.1712-1786) and Sarah (Hovey) Gennings (1716-abt.1772) on July 14, 1752, in Windham, Connecticut.

Note: Birth records state that her name was spelled 'Sibel Gennings' [1],[2].

She married first, 28 Oct 1769, David Fish. Their children [3]:

  • John Fish [probably died young]
  • Nathan Fish, b. Feb. 20, 1770; went to Canada
  • Jacob Fish, b. Feb. 26, 1772; m. Clarissa Davis; children Ira Fish, Polly Fish, Clarissa Fish; d. Feb. 5, 1804
  • Clarissa Fish, b. Apr. 10, 1774
  • Rufus Fish
  • John Fish
  • David Fish
  • Elijah Fish
  • Elisha Fish, went to Canada
  • Joseph Fish, was in Great Bend, Pa. in 1819

Sybil (Gennings) Fish married second, Comfort Seaver, and they moved to Jefferson County, New York. Comfort Seaver became guardian of Elijah and John Fish, presumably the younger surviving children of Sybil.

Jennings-2341 and Gennings-29 appear to represent the same person because: Both represent the spouse(s) of David Fish and Comfort Seaver. Surname spelling 'Gennings' is according to the birth record, although either direction of the merge should be supportable re. subsequent records.
