The Jenneys were a numerous and very prominent family at Darmouth, andwere amoung the largest land holders, deriving this interest by thepurchase of one full proprietory share by Mrs. Sarah, the widow of JohnJenney, the American progenitor of the family.
The family dates its American origin to about the first settlement ofPlymouth; from this place they removed to the Darmouth purchase, and wereamoung the earliest settlers of that new territory. The family wereneighbors and friends of the Spooners, and both families were closelyconnected by frequent intermarriages.
John Jenney, who married Abigail Spooner, was a farmer. His land inDarmouth fronted on the east bank of the Acushnet river, and was aboutequi-distant from 'The-Head-of-the-River and Fairhaven wharf. Thesituation is a most delightful one; the land above the average foragricultural purposes. This land he inherited, and here he dwelt inpeace, surrounded by his friends and having an abundance to meet thewants of his family, - and here probably he would have continued, had itnot been for approaching conflict between the American colonies and themother country. The trials, the turmoil and troubles attending the war,fell more heavily upon those living on or near the sea coast, than uponthose who lived in the interior of the country. To avoid, as far as couldbe, these threatened conflicts and trials, Mr. Jenney sold his place andremoved with his family to Hardwick, Massachusetts, where he purchased alarge tract of land and lived during the rest of his life.
He is represented as having been a man of good natural endowments, whichhad been cultivated by as good an education as could be given in theschools of his neighborhood. These advantages were well used by him, tothe welfare of his children and to the benefit of the communities wherehe dwelt. He was industrious and enterprising; sustained an honorablecharacter and faithfully discharged every trust.
