James Jennings Seal

In the presence of

Jacob Randall
J. W. Cartwright

James Riley Jennings

When James Jennings, son of Jacob, left Haddonfield for Ohio, he was looking for land and a place to settle. He found it in Waynesville.

The previous year a settler had staked out a claim, cut the timber in preparation for burning and clearing. Before the next season the settler moved on west looking for greener fields. Residents of Waynesville suggested to James that he take over where the other had left off. This was done and James soon had a farm and was in business.

Lawrence E. Brown now (1966) owns the old Jennings farm. He has owned it since 1930. The log cabin, original, that stood by the modern home for so long, was torn down in 1943. The compiler has a picture of it taken in 1923.

Harry Scherwood, Waynesville, with whom the compiler visited in 1923, and who gave him the old James Jennings chest as a souvenir, is now deceased. The chest, languishing in the barn, had, at one time been ornate and expensive. The covering and interior was of a fine grade of leather. On the ends were brass plates with the name James Jennings engraved. The front lock was likewise of brass and engraved. On the ends were gummed shipping labels of the day, indicating that it had been on a number of journeys by rail, and under some circumstances of affluence. Mr. Scherwood stated that he had married into the Jennings family and that this luggage had come down through the family in the course of time.

He also stated that James Jennings had built the first sawmill and the first brick yard in Waynesville in the early 1800's. This is in contradiction with Beer's History of Warren County published in 1883.

James Riley Jennings, 1967

While chopping wood in the timber a double-bladed axe of a companion accidentally cut the leg of James so badly that it had to be amputated. He wore a wooden leg and sometimes bragged that he could pitch more hay than anyone with two good legs. At age eighty-six he was on a load of hay arranging the loading when the team started suddenly, throwing him to the ground and breaking his neck.

Friends records in Waynesville, Ohio, note that James Jennings is buried in their cemetery, 9th row, 41st grave, 18th, 9th Mo. 1860.

Beer's History of Warren County 1883 (John W. Keys)

The history of Wayne township, as it appears in this book, was written by John W. Keys, a prominent citizen of his day, and we quote: "About the year 1806, John Haines, from Virginia, built a mill at Waynesville on the power now owned by Wright. (1882). It was framed timber and stood about where the sawmill now is. (1882). The dam was above the mill and abutted the land owned by Abel Satterthwaite which has since, by a channel on the east side, become an island. Haines failed to secure an abutment on the east side of the river, and the dam causing frequent overflow of the land became obnoxious to the owner . He cut around the dam and destroyed the power, about the year 1809. A 1ong litigation ensued and the case was finally decided by the Supreme Court against Haines.

John Jennings, elder brother of James, came to the township in 1810, bought the mill and secured an abutment on the east side against the rugged bank for $200. He contracted with David Brown to extend the race for $300. Brown lost heavily on the contract. The mill was idle about six years during which time the principal milling was done at Newman’s mill on the Run, and Highway's mill on the Miami. A sawmill and fulling mill were there at an early date, and carding and fulling there until about 1850.

The brick mill was built in 1825 by John Jennings, and about 1832, was sold by him to St Cook and Jason Evans. 11 Perhaps the above still does not rule the possibility that James Jennings built the first mill and brick yard in the township. It appears that he came to Waynesville several years ahead of his brother John. In the History of Warren County, by Beers, we find the following :

"About the year 1800 James Corey put up a log building in Waynesville for 'public entertainment'. Previous to 1806, James Jennings, from New Jersey, purchased the premises, erected a frame building and continued the business. It was located on Wabash Square on Main Street. No absolute title could be given for the lots until David Faulkner got a patent for the land in 1807. Faulkner deeded to Jennings in that square, Lots 7, 8,4 and the north half of 6, for $350. (Long since known as Hammel House Stand.) It was probably the first house of public entertainment. It is not known how long Jennings continued the business, but he was succeeded by Samuel Beck, Robert Way, and Richard Cunningham. In 1817 Jennings deeded the stand to John Warrell for $600. The deed included the above mentioned lots."

Beer's History, Continued

''Israel Hopkins Harris, Waynesville banker, was married to Rebecca Clarke Jennings, who was born in New Jersey, and was the daughter of John and Sarah Jennings, two of the pioneers of Waynesville, she being a sister of Samuel Highway’s wife."

Gloucester County Historical Society (Bad Research)

Note: This research is not supportable by research.

From Gloucester County Historical Society, Vol. 5, No. 6, Dec. 1956. Jacob Mark Jennings, the eldest of the family settling in Chestnut Ridge, was descended from Henry Jennings, reputed nephew of Samuel Jennings, ??? one of the early colonial governors of West New Jersey. (More likely cousin. Ed.) Jacob M. Jennings (first) purchased 312 acres of the tract later belonging to Randall Nicholson from John Jennings, May 8, 1797. the chain of title from John Jennings, who purchased the same April 19,1794, of Joseph Reeve, who obtained it by deed of Sheriff Thomas Denny,J anuary 21, 1785, ran back through William Buzby, and his father Isaac Buxby, who had purchased the same in a larger tract conveyed by John

Stacy's executors. Jacob M. Jennings owned the 102 acres comprising the later John Young place. It was then known as "Price’s farm”.

Jacob M. Jennings also owned the Peter Cheesman tract, which was later the James Robb place, and then his son Job Jennings, lived a few years later than 1800. Job emigrated to Ohio, and his dismissal from Woodbury Friends Meeting dated August 8, 1816, was "to Miamie MO. Meeting, in

the state of Ohio”.

Jacob M. Jennings, who had married Ann Hopkins, widow of Ebenezer Hopkins, junior, in 1783, had two sons and one daughter, by his second marriage--Jacob Mark Jennings, (second), Job Jennings and Judith

Jennings. (Judith was from first marriage, Joseph from second. F.d.)

The first son remained on the old place at, Chestnut Ridge; the second emigrated to Ohio, and the daughter married and went to Bristol, Pennsylvania.

By his first wife, Mary Smith, whom he married in 1761, Jacob M. Jennings (first) had four sons, Joseph? Samuel, John and James, who emigrated to the west; another son, Isaac, who became a schoolteacher

in Philadelphia; and a daughter, Sarah, who married Patrick Flanagan. The father died in 1813, at Chestnut Ridge, where he made his home with his son Jacob. He devised the homestead here to his son Jacob, the later Robb place to his son Job.

The son Jacob married Mary Fleetwood, daughter of Richard L. and Catherine Flock Fleetwood, who had settled about a mile below Chestnut Ridge, on the western side of Scotland branch, in 1791, where the daughter Mary was born in 1793. Not liking the Chestnut Ridge farm, which he inherited

from his father, Jacob Mark Jennings (second) disposed of the place, removed to a point near Woodbury, and there continued farming until his decease, in 1833. His son, Jacob Mark Jennings (third) was then ten years of age. His widow, Mary Fleetwood Jennings, did not remarry but brought up her large family and was living until the latter part of 1856.

Jacob Mark Jennings, (3rd) made a "run-away match” when he was twenty years old his young bride, Emma C. Sickler, being sixteen years of age. She was a grand daughter of John Sickler, pioneer of Sicklerville. The young couple settled near Sicklerville and became the parents of a large family of children.

The Woodbury? Friends meeting minutes, under date of July 27, 1847, records that he was disowned for marrying outside of the denomination. Among their children is a son named Jacob ? Mark Jennings (fourth) who had a son Jacob Mark Jennings (fifth).
