      "Sarah Jennings" (1730-1782).

      Sarah's Parents were: "Col. William Henry Jennings" (1676-1775) who was born in England. He was the youngest son of 'Humphrey & Mary Milward Jennens' & was a British officer who came to Virginia to assist in the fight against the Indians & "Mary Jane 'Polly' Pulliam Jennings" (1704-1774) who was born @ Hanover Co., VA to 'James & Mary Pulliam'. "Mary Jane 'Polly' Pulliam" was thought to have "perhaps" been Col. William Henry Jennings' 2nd. wife because of the 28-year-age-difference between them. They married on 1-24-1724 @ Hanover Co., VA & had 10 Children.
