Robert Jennings of Silsden

      

Robert Jennings was christened on 27 July 1606, the third child and eldest surviving son of William Jennings and Agnet Wilkinson of Glusburn [1] . He joined his four-year-old brother John and two year old sister Euphemia [2] . By the time Robert was ten years old he had another four sisters, Maria, Elizabeth, Susanna and Agnes, and another brother, William [3] . By the time Robert was nineteen he had another two sisters Isabella and Alicia and a young brother Richard [4] .

       Robert’s sister Euphemia Jennings and Robert Gathrop had a son Robert in 1628 [5] . It appears that Euphemia was unmarried when she had her son Robert christened. The naming of her first son after her brother Robert indicates that they were very close in childhood. His sister Maria also had an illegitimate child Anne with a John Greenwood in 1634 [6] . Robert’s sister Elizabeth married Thomas Stot in 1642 [7] .

       Robert’s eldest brother John married Ann Smith in 1621, but died at the age of twenty-five in 1627 before they began a family [8] .  He died in poverty. Robert’s brother William Jennings married Grace and tried to set up a family in Kildwick in 1631. Their first son William died in infancy and was buried in 1631 [9] .  William and Grace did manage to have two daughter Brigetta and Maria, but by 1644 Grace had died [10] . William then married Anna and they had another six sons, of whom only four survived, John, Peter, Robert and William [11] . Anna died in 1687 and William Jennings was buried in 1678 [12] .

       Robert’s nephew William, son of his brother William had a large family and moved to Thorlby near Robert’s son Edmund [13] . In 1682-7 William was living in Glusburn, but from 1688 was living in Stirton [14] . William’s eldest son Robert was christened in 1677 and was a carpenter of Embsay [15] . He married Lydia Spencer and after her death in 1718 married secondly Ann [16] . Lydia and Robert Jennings had two sons and two daughters, Robert, Susanna, Ann and Jonathan [17] . Jonathan Jennings shoemaker of Stirton had a large family. Robert also had two more sons by his second wife Ann, Edmund and William [18] . Robert’s son William of Skipton also had a large family. William of Stirton’s son William married Margaret Spencer and they had a family of two surviving sons William and Benjamin and two surviving daughters [19] . His son William had a large family in Stirton and Benjamin had a large family in Embsay [20] .  William of Stirton’s son Jonathan married Ann Topham and had a large family in Stirton [21] . Jonathan’s son Samuel married Leah Heelis [22] . Jonathan’s son Hugh married and had a large family in Stirton [23] .

       Robert lost his mother Agnes in 1637 and she was buried on 28 July 1637 in Kildwick, a widow, so Robert’s father William must have died before this date [24] . Robert married Margaret Tillotson in Kildwick in 1640 [25] . Their first daughter, Elizabeth, was born in 1641 [26] . She was soon followed by another daughter Agnes and four sons, John, Robert, Peter  and Edmund [27] . Robert’s oldest son John Jennings moved to Eastburn and married Maria, they had two sons Robert and William [28] . Robert’s son Robert died and was buried aged only nineteen in 1670 [29] . Of his son Peter Jennings there is at present no trace [30] . His daughter Agneta Jennings was buried in 1675, aged only twenty-seven, a spinster [31] . His daughter Elizabeth married Edward Smith and started a family in Kildwick [32] .

Robert was buried on 28 September 1671 in Kildwick, North Yorkshire [33] .
