John JENNEY emigrated in 1623.⁽¹⁵¹⁷⁾ He died in Jun 1644 in Plymouth Colony, MA. ⁽¹⁵¹⁸⁾ He was born in Norwich, Holland ?. ⁽¹⁵¹⁹⁾

Jenney, John

John Jenney arrived at Plymouth in 1623 on the Little James with his wife Sarah and children Samuel, Abigail, and Sarah. Captain Altham of the Little James (Three Visitors, p. 24) noted that "Good wife Jennings was brought abed of a son aboard our ship." Banks called Jenney a cooper of Norwich, County Norfolk, but Leiden records of his 1614 marriage to Sarah Carey, of Monk's Soham, County Suffolk, call him a brewer's man from Norwich (Dexter, p. 619), and Winslow also called him a brewer and noted that he was among those Englishmen in Holland who could speak Dutch and would sometimes take communion in the Dutch Church (Hypocrisie Unmasked, p. 63). He owned a grain mill in Plymouth, and he was a Purchaser, but not an Undertaker, as has been written. He was one of the colony's leaders, however, serving as an Assistant.

After he and his wife died, his family moved to Dartmouth, with which the name Jenney became associated. See the article in TAG 35:70 by Bertha Clark, whose excellent manuscript on the Jenney family is at NEHGS in Boston. Also of interest is the account given of the Jenney family in Small Descendants 2:646; see also Frederick G. Jenny, "John Jenny," NEHGR 115:233. John's son Samuel, apparently the son born on the Little James, married Susanna Wood; daughter Sarah married Thomas Pope as his second wife; and daughter Abigail married Henry Wood and lived in Yarmouth and Middleborough (see Bowman, "Mistress Sarah Jenny's Will and Inventory," MD 8:171). In John Jenney's will, dated 28 December 1643, he cautioned, "Whereas Abigaile my eldest Daughter had somewhat given her by her grandmother and Henry Wood of Plymouth aforesaid is a suter to her in way of marriage my will is that if shee the said Abigaile will Dwell one full yeare wth mr. Charles Chauncey of Scittuate before her marriage (pvided he be willing to entertaine her) that then my said Daughter Abigall have two of my cowes and my full consent to marry wth the said Henry Wood" (MD 6:170); however, the marriage took place four months later on 28 April 1644 (MD 13:86). [p.316]

On 2 January 1633/34 rates were again assessed by the new governor, Thomas Prence, and William Bradford, Captain Standish, John Howland, Stephen Hopkins, John Doane, William Gilson, William Collier, John Jenny, Robert Hicks, Jonathan Brewster, Kenelm Winslow, and Stephen Deane. Only eighty individuals were rated this time, and we can note that some of the names on the 1632/33 list, but missing from the 1633/34 list, were among those who had died in the epidemic, though in a few cases their widows took their places. The ratings consisted of:26

£0/9 shillings—45 individuals
£0/12 shillings—7 individuals
£0/18 shillings—13 individuals
£1/4 shillings—3 individuals
£1/7 shillings—8 individuals
£1/10 shillings—1 individual (Stephen Hopkins)
£1/16 shillings—1 individual (Isaac Allerton)
£2/5 shillings—2 individuals (William Collier &
—Edward Winslow)

Family notes early 1900's: "Great grandmother Johnston died in Piqua and was buried there, in the old Johnston burying ground.

"Three or four of grandmother Johnston's children were born in Kentucky. Therefore, she must have lived in KY for some time after her marriage--not have gone to Piqua immediately upon her marriage (as the
tradition goes). Cousin Julia Patterson (John H's mother) remembered her coming into Piqua. Thought she was then a bride. Remembered the long plume."

10/31/25: " Aunt Hattie visited in Georgetown Kentucky her kinspeople there. Aunt Eliza Elliot had daughter Laura (who died before Hattie went down), Mollie and Sallie. find, handsome girls, also two boys.
Mollie, youngest daughter later married a railroad man and lived in Chicago. Cousin Eliza died in her house (in Chicago).

Cousin Eliza (who married Dr. Elliot of Georgetown, Ky) was brought up by Grandmother Sutphin's mother (_____ Johnston). Her parents died and great-grandmother Johnston brought her up to Middleton and had her there from the time she was a baby until she was 18. She then went back to Georgetown, where her property was. There she married Dr. Elliot. He was a gentlemen--fatherly, etc. by sympathy altogether a
Southerner--an unreconstructed Rebel. Perhaps the Federals took his property from him."

The marriage date of 1716 also comes from the Johnson Genealogy. They have her as marrying Joseph, removing to Middletown, Conn. about 1739 and to Leicester, Mass. before 1745.

If this is a correct assumption it would be that Joseph married Hannah Johnson and his sister Rebecca married David Johnson, sister and brother, and children of Isaac and Abigail Leavitt Johnson. Not too far fetched.

Genealogy of Captain John Johnson of Roxbury, Mass, Generations I to XIV, by Paul Franklin Johnson, Editor 1945 p.2: "John Johnson, with his family, came to this country in the fleet with Winthrop, landing at Salem, June 22, 1630. He settled in Roxbury . . ." The preface goes on to mention his active participation in the community, including Surveyor General, and Deputy to the House of Deputies for 21 years. He was the first Clerk of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery, the oldest military organization in the country. His son Isaac was its Captain.

This genealogy absolutely disputes a John as first child which is apparently commonly attributed to John I and suggests the John referenced is that of Isaak Johnson as shown by the church records. "It is certain that no JOHN came over with the family. There is no evidence whatever that there was any child other than the five given above." Isaac, Mary, Humphrey, Elizabeth, Sarah. All children were born in England and originally attributed to wife Margery. They are now known to be children of his first wife Mary who died a year before he emigrated to New England, after which he married Margery.

His second wife Margery died in 1655 and he married third Grace (Negus) widow of Barnabas Fawer, he dying a few years later..

Capt. John and Mary (Heath) Johnson
John JOHNSON - b. about 1588, England; d. Sep. 30, 1659, Roxbury, MA. It has been suggested that he was the son of John JOHNSON and Alice. John's will, dated Sep. 30, 1659 (the day he died) and proved Oct. 15, 1659 names son Isaac as co-executor. Arrived in New England with the Winthrop fleet at Salem, Jun. 22, 1630. He settled at Roxbury, MA and was made Freeman on May 18, 1631. Subsequently served town and colony in many capacities, including Constable (first on Oct. 19, 1630), Surveyor General, Town Clerk, Deputy to the House of Deputies, and Clerk of the Military Company of Massachusetts. The position as Surveyor General of Arms and Ammunitions of the Colonies made Capt. Johnson responsible for the acquisition, maintenance and distribution of the primary means of protection. Gov. John Winthrop wrote in his Journal under the date of Feb. 6, 1645:

John Johnson, the Surveyor General of Arms and Ammunition, a very industrious and faithful man in his place, having built a fair house in the midst of the town, with divers barns and outhouses, it fell on fire in the day time, no man knowing by what occasion, and there being in it seventeen barrels of the country's powder, and many arms, all was suddenly burnt and blown up, to the value of four or five hundred pounds, wherein a special providence of God appeared, for, he, being from home, the people came together to help and many were in the house, no man thinking of the powder till one of the company put them in mind of it, whereupon they all withdrew, and soon after the powder took fire and blew up all about it, and shook the houses in Boston and Cambridge, so that men thought it had been an earthquake, and carried great pieces of timber a great way off, and some rags and such light things beyond Boston meeting house, there being then a stiff gale south, it drove the fire from the other houses in the town (for this was the most northerly) otherwise it had endangered the greatest part of the town.

John was one of the founders of the town and church at Roxbury, MA and, together with his sons Isaac and Humphrey, was an original donor to the Free School in Roxbury.

His second wife was possibly Margery SCUDDER, daughter of William (d. 1607) and Margery SCUDDER of Darenth, Kent.

Married first 21 Sep 1613, Ware, Hertfordshire, England, second by 1633 Margery (b. England; bur. 9 Jun 1655, Roxbury, MA), and third 1655 or later Grace NEGUS (d.
