**********************************************************************

Lilburn B. Jennings, is the son of John D. Jennings, who emigrated from
East Tennessee, about the year 1816, and entered land in Dover township,
near the town of Dover, where the subject of this sketch was born, April
16, 1825, and lived till the year 1849.  His father then moved into
Washington township, where they lived for twenty years.  During this 
time Mr. Jennings bought his present home in Davis township, where he 
now lives.  On the 11th day of November, 1844, he was married to Miss
Eliza Rose, daughter of John W. Rose, of Kentucky.  By this marriage 
nine children were born: James T., John D., Henry, George W., William,
Mary, Martha J., Richard C. and Edward R.  Most of his children are
married, and settled around him.  Mr. Jennings and wife are both members
of the Baptist church.  His father died under peculiar circumstances,
having attended an election, and, on returning home, went to the field 
to cut a load of corn, and when driving into his barn with the load, a
blade of the corn ran into his ear, destroying the drum of the ear;
inflammation set in; he lingered about two weeks, when death came to his
relief, and ended his suffering.
