Last night, I was looking over some Xeroxes of notes taken of the Vaughn Cemetery. I found at least two, maybe three instances where it was noted that they, like our William, were born in England. They were of William's generation and older.
From what I can gather, there were two specific areas where the English Jennings were from. One, of course, was Bath, and the other was Holt, which is further north. For example, Paul Bishop Jennings was from Holt.
(By the way, did you know poor Paul Bishop had three children die quite young before he and his wife finally had a child who survived to adulthood?)
I have yet to link any of these other contemporary Jennings immigrants to William, but if I can I think it would be a huge help, especially to get closer to the reason why William came to America.
