JENNESS.
The progenitor of the numerous and now widely scat- tered family of Jenness in this country was one Francis Jennings, who at the age of 35 emigrated to New Hamp- shire from Rye in England, about the year 1665, and took up his abode at Great Island, now Newcastle. The free- man's oath of fidelity was administered to him there, Oct. 2, 1666. For about five years the young man, then unmar- ried, pursued in Great Island the vocation of a mariner

and fisherman. He married Hannah Swaine of Hampton and made his future home in that town. The territory which he took up, and most of which was laid out to him by the town of Hampton in 1675, extended in a strip along the seacoast from Josselyn's or Locke's Neck, in a south- erly direction more than half a mile. Francis erected a dwelling house, saw- and grist-mill, and also a bakery, and by means of small boats he distributed his bread all along the coast towns to Boston.
He was denied his proper interest in the commonage, feedage, and sweepage (or the right of mowing grass), in the undivided town lands. In 1707, when he attempted to insist upon these rights before a meeting of the commoners, he was "denied speaking at this meeting." His sons after his death, in 1721, procured acknowledgment of these long- resisted rights.
