      Looking for the list of children, birth dates etc. born to Obadiah and Elizabeth Dodson Jennings. They lived in Shellsford on the river, near William Smith who married one of their children Ruth Jennings. Looking for possible sibling to Ruth, Mary "Polly" Jennings, born 1800 Married Benjamin Griffith in TN had three children

      John, Obadiah and Tolbert

      before moving to Shelby co IL in 1829.

      Isham Jennings born in 1805 may be a brother to Mary "Polly" Jennings he married Francis"Fanny" Smith daughter of Peter and Fanny Smith of NC, . They also located to IL with the Griffiths in 1829 and are buried there with them.
