Jennings-Alvord The family Bible may go back to Lewis Burr Jennings. Mom's Notes say "He was a farmer in Greens Farms. Alvin's Aunt Emma (Jennings) received the Bible from her father, I believe. She married Charles E. Cole. Her son, Eddie Cole, married Susan Betsey French. Susan passed the Bible on to Mary and Alvin."

This map may be open to misinterpretation. The investigation by the Westport Historical society identifies 42 Sasco Creek, the home diagonally across from Southport Beach as the home of Lewis Burr Jennings -- the map looks as if it is identifying the home as that of his father, Wakeman Jennings. 42 Sasco Creek Investigation (By Bob Weingarten, 1/17/2009) CONCLUSION:  According to Judge Adams “on the west side of  Sasco Creek at the south end was the homestead of Lewis Burr Jennings… He got most of his land from his father in the 1850’s and 1860’s.  After his death in 1905 the property was sold to Mary L. Schlosser and Frank Hedley was the owner in 1912 and added to his acreage until (1951) he had 40 acres.”  The assembled land was called Hedley Farms and in 1954 most of the land was sold to Nat H. Greenberg (111/555).  Greenberg sold the house and 2 acres to Guy L Hammond (122/536) in 1955.  Robert Ludlum owned the house from 1977 to 1997 and currently Karen & Robert Jones III own the house. Wakeman Jennings started to deed land to his son, Lewis Burr Jennings, in 1849 and by 1851 (5/721, 5/782, 6/66) Lewis had three parcels comprising 10.75 acres but no “buildings” were transferred.  Then in 1852 Lewis married Mary Keeler and he received one acres of land with a “building” (6/204) as possibly a marriage present.  The location of the land/building  as described in the deed appears to be the subject house at the appropriate location and can be identified on the 1858 Clark map.  Additionally the tax records indicate that prior to 1852 Lewis was not assessed for any houses yet in 1852 he was assessed $800 for a house.  Although Wakeman provided a “building” in the deed to Lewis in 1852, Wakeman was assessed for a house at $750 from 1851 through 1854 +) at the same assessment indicating that he did not transfer his house to Lewis but must have built another one to transfer in the 1852 deed.      The first map that the subject house appears on is the 1858 Clark map and subsequently appears on the 1867 Atlas map and 1879 Hopkins map.  The prior map to 1858, the 1835 US Coast map does not show the subject house.     RESEARCH INFORMATION 1.

JUDGE ADAMS MANUSCRIPT (1951): Sasco Creek Road A hundred years ago Andrew W. Jennings was the owner of most of the land on the east side of Sasco Creek Road, south of the railroad.  His father, Wakeman Jennings, owned it previously and sold the railroad company a strip of land in the late 1840’s for their right of way.   In 1923 the property was sold to Grace C. Benzof of New York, and in the 1930’s she moved the house further to the rear and enlarged and improved it.  The Harold Gray’s bought it in 1948 and in 1951 built a cottage for their caretaker. On the west side of Sasco Creek Road at the south end was the homestead of Lewis Burr Jennings, brother of Andrew.  He got most of his land from his father in the 1850’s and 1860’s.  After his death in 1905 the property was sold to Mary L. Schlosser and Frank Hedley was the owner in 1912 and added to his acreage until (1951) he had 40 acres.  Hedley was superintendent and afterward President of the Interurban Railway in New York City.  The next house was the homestead of Henry Burr Jennings who got this property from his father, Peter B. Jennings, in the late 1850’s and early 1860’s.  At the time of his death in 1900 he had 12 acres. His sons, Leslie and Alphonse, sold to Frederick L. Mills who sold it with seven additional acres in the rear, to George W. Craft in 1919.  Craft was a market gardener and raised large crops.  In 1941 the property was sold to Mrs. H. Smith Richardson.  Her son, H.S. Jr. got two acres with the house which he improved.  A son-in-law got another acre and built a cottage. 3.
