However, it always descends to the Ironmonger of Birmingham. And for him to have been an ancestor, he and his wife would have had to have had all their children in Birmingham, but one who was born hundreds of miles away. Possible but unlikely especially since that genealogy was done in pursuit of a large inheritance and was never accepted by any court.Schalene Dagutishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155315167291741937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562639907997889606.post-82366753749844509732022-12-03T18:27:37.643-05:002022-12-03T18:27:37.643-05:00I forgot to mention that maybe your Jerningho and ...I forgot to mention that maybe your Jerningho and my Jernigan (or Jernegan) were the 2 that may have been brothers that went to England with King Canute? Anyway, your mention of the Danish word for "iron" is "Jern" may have been where my Jernigan's name came from. In my research, it is said that Jernigan (born circa 980 AD) and Jerningho were granted lands and manors in 1011 in Norfolk and Suffolk, England by King Canute for their faithful service to his father King Sweyn I of Denmark.

From my research, there were 2 men (possibly brothers) named Jernegan and Jerningho (now Jennings) who went to England with King Canute. It is believed that my Jernigan was possibly of Danish descent and that he might have been a sword maker. Your info gave me more info and maybe my Jernegan (Jernigan) was so named because he was an ironworker who made swords. My Jernegan settled in an area now known as East Anglia in England (named for the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of The Angles) in Norfolk and Suffolk, England.

True bill.Combs was a parish with a tradition of puritan dissent. Its minister between 1615 and 1647 was the godly Thomas Sothebie, who married the daughter of Edmund Dandy, lord of the manor of Combs. This small village also supplied migrants to New England in 1630. In 1647, a returning émigré, Richard Jennings (1616-1709),became rector of the parish until his ejection in 1662, and like his predecessor he married another daughter of the lord of the manor, Edmund Dandy.Ewen, Witch Hunting, 308; Tyack, ‘Migration from East Anglia’, Appendix 1, xv; Cal.Rev., 297<br /><br />http://practitioners.exeter.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Eastanglianwitchtrialappendix2.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1aBY0OdkNWJX41kboFTxo851C0m-MgWX9fwQkHkr6sxx-CEo8lno0IW5k<br /><br />After he was 'Ejected' he may have returned to the Colonies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775437046832964917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562639907997889606.post-55553140118054863402021-05-20T13:48:03.379-04:002021-05-20T13:48:03.379-04:00Hi!

From the research I’ve gathered, I trace to William Jennings ~1635. <br />Jennings hadn’t come from England, rather from the plantations of Northern Ireland. The jennings family of Northern Ireland could’ve been from Scotland, England, or Even wales. <br />Jennings was first recorded as brothers Jernigan & Jerningho. <br />The theory is they migrated to England as Angles & this is supported by the danish word “Jern” meaning “iron”. <br /><br />The angles came and settled England during the Iron Age with King Canute. The jennings in medieval England were famous for their iron work. <br /><br />However, iron workers looking for better pay also migrated to england from Wales, into danish settlements. The iron workers would be called jernings. The jennings could’ve originated in wales as there is still a curiously high concentration of the surname there today. J.

Due to the time period, I may never have definitive proof but likely end up having to write a proof statement. I believe I will have thoroughly checked the "reasonably exhaustive search" box however! ;)Schalene Dagutishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155315167291741937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562639907997889606.post-228218219753566622016-06-10T09:16:49.719-04:002016-06-10T09:16:49.719-04:00Sometimes the long way is the only way.
