Hello Geraldine
Thank you for your reply to my inquiry. It would be great to know of someone from Canada that can shed some light on the very elusive Matthias Jennings. Some further infor has come to my attention. Matthias was born in about 1809 as he was 51 in the Us census in 1860 in Iowa, where he was living. This, with your information, lends me to believe that Thomas and Margaret are not his parents. This puts me back to square one, and I am baffled by Matthias and his lack of a paper trail.. Thanks Geraldine.
