By William Henry Jennings 

 VOLUME 2 ONLY. (Vol. I not publ.)

Genealogical history of the Jennings family in England and America. Vol II, the American families to 1899. The Jennings family is found early in the New England Colonies and this book chronicles the family in America, tracing their lineage from the East Jersey line to the West Jersey line and the possible relationship between the East Jersey Jennings and William Jennens of Acton, England, whose vast estate was the subject of legal battles in the 19th century. From family records, wills, and deeds  the story of these early American families is told to provide a glimpse into the lives of these pioneers and the challenges they faced as they settled in the New World. It sheds light on the significance of genealogy in understanding the history of families and the broader social fabric of America.
