Biography

David Jennings, oldest son of Cyrenius Jennings and Mary Cuber, was born about 1785, probably in Pennsylvania. The 1830 census shows him living in Mary Ellen, Warren County, Ohio, near his father Cyrenius and two brothers, Levi and William. [1] He married Harriet Jones in Columbiana County, Ohio, 6 January 1825.[2] The censuses for 1840 census shows him in Milford, Knox, Ohio, with his wife, four sons, and three daughters.[3] In 1850, he is in Milford with five children: Mary, Milton, "Cephus" (Josephus), "Cyserus" (Cyrenus), and "Mileney" (Melancy) but without his wife, who had apparently passed away.[4] In 1860, he and his daughter Mary are living alone, still in Milford Township.[5] He died about 1867 in Ohio as shown by his probate record.[6]

Also note that Harriet Jones is not the mother of all the children listed. Harriet Jennings (Freed), the eldest known child, was born in about 1813, a dozen years before David married Harriet Jones.

I do not for a minute believe that Cyrenius and Mary were the parents of this David JENNINGS. In an interview with a local newspaper in the early 1900's, David's daughter Sarah ("Aunt Sally") said her mother died when she was a girl (therefore, not Harriet JONES) and she took care of her grandfather Henry JENNINGS. There were just too many Davids, let alone too many Cyreniuses, among these JENNINGS families to make assumptions.
