| 6 | "Veto Jennings was only six years old in 1875 when his father was killed in a political argument back in Alabama. His mother, Lucinda Fannie Jennings, wanted to be close to her brother in Texas so she brought her sons Veto, Otto, and Worth and came to Fannin County Texas. Little is known about the trip except that it was the summer of 1880. In Fannin County, Veto met and married Mary ASilla Stallings whose family had come from Tennessee to Fannin County. In 1891 Veto brought his wife and little daughter Lennice to Swisher County Texas. They were accompanied by J.T. and Sarah Stallings and family. The trip by covered wagon took eighteen days." [Ethel Bell, "Veto Jennings," Windmilling: 101 Years of Swisher County Texas History 1876-1977 (Dallas: Taylor Publishing Co., 1978), 377.] Veto's grandson states that Veto came to Swisher County from Fannin County in 1889 and homesteaded land seven miles west of Tulia; in 1892 he brought his family to the homestead." "Melvin Jennings," Windmilling: 101 Years of Swisher County Texas History 1876-1977 (Dallas: Taylor Publishing Co., 1978), 375.] "The Veto Jennings family settled on land eight miles west of Tulia in the Lakeview community. Since it was hard times, Veto worked on a ranch as a cowboy for Mr. Word for several years, and at the same time farmed his own land. (Several of their neighbors at this time were the Henry Settles, Fred Scotts, Charley Jordans and George Tomlinsons.) The family lived in a half-dug out until around 1908 when Veto built a two-story house. Several of their children were born in the dug-out. They were living in the dug-out when the prairie fire of 1900 came through destroying everything. A passing cowboy helped the mother [Mary ASilla] carry the children and some belongings to a dirt mound between two earth tanks, then helped here trying to save the dug-out." [Ethel Bell, "Veto Jennings," Windmilling: 101 Years of Swisher County Texas History 1876-1977 (Dallas: Taylor Publishing Co., 1978), 377.] Veto Jennings household in 1900 included his wife and 4 children, his widowed mother, and his brother Otto. According to his biography, they would still be living in the half-dugout, as the two-story frame house was not built until 1908: 1900 Census, Swisher County TX, Precinct 4 #128, #139—Veto Jennings, head, age 30 born Sep 1869 AL, parents born AL, married 11 years Mary Jennings, wife, age 25 born March 1875 TN, parents born TN, married 11 years Lenice Jennings, dau, age 9 born Oct 1890 TX, father born AL, mother born TN Lee O.

Jennings, son, Annie L. Jennings, dau, Mary E. Jennings, dau, Daisie E. Jennings, dau, Melvin Jennings, in his biography for Windmilling, relates two stories about his grandfather Veto Jennings. "When the family needed meat, Veto and his son Frank would ride on horseback until they would spot a herd of antelope--which was not difficult at all, since there were many herds then, in the early 1900s. The grass then was about 30 inches tall. Veto would take a 44-40 pistol and they would sit down. They would then take a stick, tie a bandana, or some other type of cloth on it, stand it up so it would be higher than the grass, to act as a flag to attract the antelope. Veto would then pull his knees up, brace the big pistol on his knees at arm's length, holding it as securely as possible--and wait. The antelope, being very curious about the flag, would come over for a closer look. Veto would wait until the antelope came within a few feet, then he pulled the trigger." The family lived in a half-dug out until around 1908 when Veto built a two-story house. Several of their children were born in the dug-out. They were living in the dug-out when the prairie fire of 1900 came through destroying everything. A passing cowboy helped the mother [Mary ASilla] carry the children and some belongings to a dirt mound between two earth tanks, then helped here trying to save the dug-out." ["Melvin Jennings," Windmilling: 101 Years of Swisher County Texas History 1876-1977 (Dallas: Taylor Publishing Co., 1978), 375.] The second story by Veto's grandson--Veto's homestead land (seven miles west of Tulia) "joined the 'Running Water Road.' The freight wagons from the railroad at Canyon on their way to the Plainview area, would camp at Veto Jennings' campground where the grass was kept short and there was no danger of starting a prairie fire. The distance from Veto's place was considered a big day's drive by wagon. Here at the freighter campground Veto provided feed and water for the teams that pulled the wagons. He had an interesting way of charging for the feed. He stacked the feed quite a little distance from the campground. In selling the feed, he charged fifty cents for all the feed a man could carry to his team, but, if he got more than he could carry all the way and had to put some of it down and come back for it, it would cost another fifty cents. Pretty soon regular customers learned what they could carry."

Slaves - 11. 1815 Tax List for Moore County, North Carolina: Total of 1178 acres valued at $2750. Before 1825: member of Fall Creek Baptist Church. Petitioned to establish a church near his "schoolhouse," from which Mechanics Hill Baptist Church was born. Kennedy was the chief contributor to the building of their meeting house, and he was their first deacon. From the Moore County Historical [rest of title illegible], "Country Doctor for a Half Century," by H.B. Shields, M.D. (1975): "Probably the most famous character produced by the upper end of Moore County shortly after the Revolutionary War was David Kennedy, gun-smith, mill-owner, and fiddler. Following in the footsteps of his father, Alexander Kennedy, a Revolutionary soldier who made the "Kennedy rifle" used in the Continental armies, David Kennedy carried on the gun-making business, and had at one time the largest gun factory in this section of the South. The part of the county known as Hemp, now Robbins, North Carolina, was once called Mechanics Hill, after his guns shops and other industries of a mechanical nature. Besides his business activities, his interest in education and religion were likewise known and recognized. He gave the land for old Mechanics Hill Baptist Church, was its first deacon, and represented it at various meetings of the Sandy Creek Baptist Association. When Kennedy moved to Alabama around 1835, my grandfather, Cornelius Shields, bought the old Kennedy homestead ... my remembrance of the old David Kennedy home is quite vivid. It was a splendid house for its day and age; not equaled by any in the county unless it were the House in the Horseshoe, which it resembled. I remember, especially, the long covered passageway, with banisters on either side, that connected the 100 foot distance between the main house and the kitchen. In the parlor of this house was the finest hand-carved mantel that I have ever seen. It was intricately carved, in bas-relief, in grape-vine design, with the leafy vine running up both sides and across the top of the mantel." From http://www.mooreyp.com/communities.html: "In 1795 gunsmith David Kennedy built a sawmill on the spot where the Fayetteville-Salem road crossed Bear Creek in northern Moore County. Kennedy also manufactured rifles that were Moore County's main contribution to the War of 1812. Later, gold was found on the same 400 acres Kennedy had sold for only $4. It was only a trickle of gold but it kept the town alive until the Durham-Charlotte railroad came through in 1904. " David Kennedy served in the General Assembly of North Carolina until 1790, and with his brother Alexander, was appointed a Trustee of Mount Parnassus Academy in 1809 (Laws of N.C. 1809, Chapter 76). Under his wise and talented handling, the manufacture of guns progressed greatly after the family was established in Moore County; they employed seventy-five men, making it a large industry for that day; this enterprise is still remembered in North Carolina and the Kennedy rifle was rather famous and specimens still existing are valued. When they were in their fifties, David Kennedy and his wife moved to Lauderdale County, Alabama, and lived with their son Hiram on his plantation, about fifteen miles north of Florence near Green Hill; they are buried in the old family cemetery. The manufacturing process Kennedy used in making his guns was unique. Large grindstones operated by water power shaped the barrels into octagonal design. The metal was then drawn out and molded by large trip hammers, also operated by water power. At last came the test of truing the sights. This was accomplished by shooting across the mill pond to a target on the other side, close to which a man stood to mark the deviation from the bull's eye. Patiently, the sights were varied until found absolutely true. Being shrewd, and a talented fiddle player, Kennedy used this for his business. Not wanting to keep paying such high prices for gun locks he imported from New York, Kennedy made a horse-back trip to the factory with just one thought in mind. Upon arrival, it was not long until Kennedy learned the method was a carefully guarded secret. Soon he was winning the hearts of the workers with his violin, and he was able to enter the factory and access "The Big Secret." He observed and remembered. It was no longer necessary to import locks, he made his own. Records show that the gunmaker was church-minded. He gave the land and bore the expense of the construction of the Mechanic's Hill Baptist Church, a frame building 40 x 60 feet. Inside are narrow uncomfortable wooden benches of an earlier day, the pews divided from each other by plank wood railings. Kennedy served as the first deacon of this church. An "act of God" saved his life from a rolling timber in his log yard. He was said to have declared that because God had allowed him to live, he would use some of his logs for spiritual purposes. Despite his devotion to religion and his business success, misfortune overtook him when he stood security for his brother for a large stock of merchandise. He was forced to sell out for a song. One 300 tract of land sold for $4.00. Thousands of dollars of gold dust was mined later from this same tract. Discouraged, David Kennedy disposed of all his possessions and moved to Alabama with his son Hiram. The Kennedy Homestead was located on the road from Robbins to the Standard Mineral Company. Where are the Kennedy rifles? They still exist, but have vanished from public view. Their scarcity, compared to the number who want them, makes them collector's item. There are still Kennedy rifles around Robbins but they say folks don't want it known -- it's a big secret. Kennedy rifles were manufactured for the War of 1812.

| 18 | 1860 Census, Franklin County AL, Western Division, Frankfort--Fanny Curry 17 born 1842 AL and Elisa Curry 15 born 1844 AL, live in the Charles Womble household. Womble and his wife Mary M., both born in TN, headed a household of 8 Womble children, all born AL. Charles Womble was a merchant with $1400 real estate and $1500 personal estate. They comprised Dwelling #10. Dwelling #20 was the household of S.C. [could this be L.C.?] Curry 25 born 1834 AL, a grocery keeper with $350 real estate value; Elisa 20 born 1839 AL. At Dwelling #21 lived John Curry 30, a rockmason born 1830 AL. [Roll M653-10, page 669] NAME: On the 1870 Census, Fannie is enumerated as Francis Jennings. Sometime in 1875, the Russellville Masonic Lodge No. 371 presented to Lucinda F. Jennings a Certification that her husband, John B. Jennings, deceased, was a member of their lodge. The certificate recommended that John's widow and children be given "kind consideration and a helping hand;" Fannie's name and her children's names were written around the edge of the certificate. [original certificate in the possession of Bobby and Helen Jennings, Lorenzo TX] From the Memorandum page in the John B. Jennings & Lucinda Fannie Curry Jennings' family Bible: "The earliest record of the Jennings started with them in Virginia and Georgia. The John B. Jennings family lived at Russellville, Alabama. John was murdered over an election argument. Mrs. J.B. Jennings and children moved to Honey Grove, Texas in 1880. The family came to Swisher County Texas December 1890." Fannie Curry Jennings and her four children remained in Franklin County Alabama through June of 1880, because they are on the census there. Later that summer, Fannie loaded a wagon of their possessions and took her three sons to Honey Grove, Fannin County, Texas where her brother Lewis had settled. On the Memorandum page in the John B. Jennings and Lucinda Fannie Curry Jennings’ Bible: “Lucinda F. Curry Jennings had a brother to settle in Titus County just after the Civil War.” To provide money for themselves, Fannie sold town lots 8, 9, and 10 that her husband purchased in 1873. "Veto Jennings was only six years old in 1875 when his father was killed in a political argument back in Alabama. His mother, Lucinda Fannie Jennings, wanted to be close to her brother in Texas so she brought her sons Veto, Otto, and Worth and came to Fannin County Texas. Little is known about the trip except that it was the summer of 1880." ["Veto Jennings," Windmilling: 101 Years of Swisher County Texas History 1876-1977 (Dallas: Taylor Publishing Co., 1978), 377.] 1880 Census, Franklin County AL, Twp 6, Range 11, enumerated 19 June 1880 Lucinda F. Jennings, age 39, born 1841 AL; widowed; keeping house; mother born TN; father’s birthplace unknown Dasie Z. Jennings, age 12 born 1868, attended school Veto C. Jennings, age 10 born 1870, attended school Richard O. Jennings, age 8 born 1872; mother born AL; father born TN; attended school Worth A. Jennings, age 6; attended school In December 1890, Fannie moved from east Texas to the high plains. In 1890 only 100 people were enumerated on the Swisher County, Texas Census. Just ten years earlier, in 1880, there were only three Anglos in the census district that included Randall and Swisher Counties combined. Swisher County was organized in July 1890, just a few months before Fannie and her children arrived. One hundred and fifty names were required on a petition to organize the county, but with only 100 people there it seems clear that children and cowboys helped round out the count. The county's first newspaper, "Staked Plains Messenger," was published in Tulia in June 1890. Based on reports about other Tulia pioneers, the Jennings would have made the trip from Fannin County to Swisher County in a covered wagon pulled by oxen or horses. They would have burned cow chips at night for fuel. There were no fenced off roads; wagons followed ruts across the plains. Many Swisher pioneers described seeing huge piles of buffalo bones, evidence of hunters who had killed and skinned large numbers and left the rest to rot. The county was a "raw land" of tall grasses, antelope, deer, turkeys and native trees. "As the wagons gained the summit of the Caprock, the rolling plains lay before them covered with green grass that could be seen for miles and miles in every direction." Upon arrival, the first thing was to build fences, break sod, farm and tend cattle before a house above ground was built. [Windmilling: 101 Years of Swisher County Texas History, 1876-1977 (Dallas: Taylor Publishing Co., 1978), 321.] Almost all of the settlers arriving about 1890 lived in dugouts or half dug-outs. In 1891 Fannie's son Veto and his family moved from Fannin County TX; they lived in a half-dug out until around 1908 when Veto built a two-story house. Several of their children were born in the dug-out. [Ethel Bell, "Veto Jennings," Windmilling: 101 Years of Swisher County Texas History 1876-1977 (Dallas: Taylor Publishing Co., 1978), 377.] A half dug-out was two rooms on the ground floor. "Most lived in these temporary quarters until the turn of the 20th century or later." W.T. Bagley's dugout, for example, was 20' x 50' x 6' deep with the top portion containing half windows. As soon as possible the Jennings would have dug a well for water and put up a windmill as soon as they could afford it. To claim the land in Swisher County, Fannie and her sons were required to pay $2 an acre, plow up 20 acres of sod, and put rocks at the corners for section boundaries. Freight and lumber was hauled by wagon from Canyon, the nearest point on the railroad. [Windmilling: 101 Years of Swisher County Texas History, 1876-1977 (Dallas: Taylor Publishing Co., 1978), 145, 159, 216, 498, 512, 514, 537, 563, 568.] In 1893, Swisher County had a grasshopper plague and in 1898, a blizzard. One Swisher County pioneer stated that the grasshoppers ate all the bark off fence posts and when they left it was three days before the sun was visible. [Windmilling: 101 Years of Swisher County Texas History, 1876-1977 (Dallas: Taylor Publishing Co., 1978), 288]. Where did Fannie and her sons live when they arrived in December (winter) of 1890? Had Veto already constructed the half-dugout in 1889 as his biography suggests? When Veto moved his wife and daughter from Fannin to Swisher County, his wife's parents came with them. Were all these people in the same dugout? Veto did not have enough money to build a two-story house until 1908. In 1900 Fannie and her son Otto are living in Veto's household. (Lucinda F. Jennings, mother, widow, age 56 born Nov 1843 AL, parents born SC, gave birth to 5 children, 3 children living) [1900 Census, Swisher County TX, Justice Precinct 4, hh 128] Mrs. Jennings is noted as a pioneer member of the First Baptist Church in Tulia, joining in 1891: "A few courageous men and women met in the early summer of 1891 in the home of Mrs. S.E. Butts to organize a Baptist Church." [Mrs. Ethel Christian Hooten, "Tulia First Baptist Church," Windmilling: 101 Years of Swisher County Texas History, 1876-1977 (Dallas: Taylor Publishing Co., 1978), 89.] The first year that the Jennings were in Swisher, the Baptists held two summer revivals. Like most women of her time, Fannie's life probably revolved around her family, her farm and her church, but tragedy did not escape her in TX. Fannie's daughter, Daisie Z. Jennings married Wilbern Hargett in 1885 (location unknown), but she died at age twenty-eight. According to one account, Fannie returned to Alabama after Daisie's death to help her husband and children. She may have stayed "several years." [letter to Jan Jennings in Tulsa OK from Mrs. H. (Annie) Cunningham in Lockney, TX (c1976)] Fannie's youngest son Worth Alston married in February 1897 but his wife commited suicide by poisoning in November. Veto's wife also died early, in 1910; if Fannie was not already in his household by then, she probably moved in to help him with his six children. Fannie was a witness when her son Worth remarried on 4 December 1901 in Canyon City, Randall County TX. The other witness was J.M. Vansant, father of Worth's bride, Eddie Johnson Vansant. [original certificate in the possession of Bobby and Helen Jennings; she signed her name as "Fannie Jennings".] Annie Jennings Cunningham remembered her grandmother as a small quiet woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. "She always wore a shawl around her shoulders. I have a picture (tintype) of Grandma taken when she was a young woman. She had a shawl around her even then . . . Grandma was of Irish ancestry . . . my Grandma was always busy doing something making quilts and making soap for other people." [Letter to Jan Jennings in Tulsa OK from Mrs. H. (Annie) Cunningham in Lockney TX (c1976)] It is an extraordinary fact that fifty-year old Fannie struck out on her own to a sparsely populated land to farm, but, she had grown sons, eighteen, twenty and twenty-two years old, to help her. Nevertheless, it is obvious that Fannie Lucinda Curry Jennings was an independent woman. She never applied to either Alabama or Texas for a widow's pension for John B. Jennings' Confederate service. At the time of Fannie's death on September 18, 1912, she lived with her son Veto Curry Jennings and his family. She died alone, probably of heart failure, in the late afternoon; her granddaughters discovered her body when they returned home from school. "Grandma always had indigestion (she called it colic). On the day she died we found part of a watermelon that she had eaten. So they thought that was what made her sick and caused her to die." [[Letter to Jan Jennings in Tulsa OK from Mrs. H. (Annie) Cunningham in Lockney TX (c1976)] Fannie Lucinda Curry Jennings is buried at Rosehill Cemetery, Tulia, Texas, alongside her oldest son Veto Curry Jennings (1869-1934). Her son, Richard Otto Jennings (1871-1941) is also buried at Rosehill. Youngest son, Worth Alston Jennings (1873-1949), is buried at Dreamland Cemetery in Canyon, Randall County, Texas. The burial site of the Jennings' only surviving daughter, Daisie Z. Jennings Hargett (1867-1895), is not known. | CURRY, Lucinda Fannie (I-2144834555)

| 43 | After Omar's murder, Gertrude had 10 children and was pregnant with another. She had no means of income. Her pregnancy hindered her ability to work. She had the baby -- a boy -- and still couldn't find work. The older children would find work here and there, but it wasn't enough to fill the needs of the family. They were all starving. Bessie, the third from the youngest, said that she remembered standing at her mother's bedroom door waiting for her turn to nurse. Gertrude was trying to to nurse the three youngest children just to keep them alive. Gertrude knew the situation couldn't continue. She had heard the State of Washington was going to come and take her children away. She didn't want them parceled out to distant homes, losing contact with each other. She wanted them to be able to stay in contact with each other. She went to her pastor and asked for help. They came up with a plan to ask the congregation for help. When the congregation was presented with the situation, members of the church stepped forward to adopt the children. The adoption papers included Gertrude's request that the children grow up knowing each other. The only children who weren't adopted were those who were old enough to be on their own and the baby. | PERKINS, Gertrude Nettie (I-2144834182)
