Biography
John Jenney was a ship's carpenter when he was near the water and a building carpenter when he was not. The third of four children born to Benjamin Jenney, a whaling captain, and his second wife, Beersheba Bassett, John was just four years old when his mother died.
Not much is known about John's early childhood, except that his father remarried to Louisa Hathaway two years after Beersheba's death. Then two years later, Benjamin was lost at sea near Hispaniola. Though he may have grown up in the household of his stepmother, it is more likely that John was boarded out after his father's death to a Jenney relative and perhaps learned his trade there.
On 22 December 1793, John married at New Bedford, Catharine Davis, born 25 May 1773. Catharine was the daughter of Nicholas Davis and Sarah Williams, a family that was very active in the Society of Friends. During the first 20 years of their marriage, the Jenneys lived near Fairhaven, where John earned a living as a ship's carpenter. ...Read MORE...

The War of 1812 was a conflict between the United States and Great Britain, lasting from 1812 to 1815. It was primarily fueled by issues such as trade restrictions due to Britain's ongoing war with France, impressment of American sailors into the British Navy, and British support of Native American tribes against American expansion. The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent, restoring pre-war boundaries but resolving few of the initial disputes.1817 Marriage of ChildMordecai Wetherell JENNEY married 12 June 1817, Scipio, New York, USA to Isabella Pauline SALISBURY
