Harriet Jane Jennings was the first child of Zan and Sallie Hodges Jennings. The only solid evidence of her existence is the 1960 Federal Census where she appears as a one-year-old.
It is clear that Harriet did not survive to the following census in 1870. Somewhere, along the way, I added a middle name “Jane” and a death date of March 22, 1865 to my records, but I failed to note where I found that information. (When I first started researching my family history, I did not make careful notes. And I found a lot of information from many sources.) Be that as it may, I generally find such information did not come to me out of nowhere, and it usually proves to be true in the end. Hopefully, I will run into the source material again and be able to provide it here.
If Harriet did live until the age of six, she would have had two younger brother, James Anderson and Ewing Rosenbalm Jennings at the time of her death. Two short months after she died, her mother gave birth to another brother, Granville Rial Jennings.

Some genealogists confuse our Harriet with another Harriet Jennings who was born in nearby Granger County in 1861. That Harriett was the daughter of George Jennings (possibly related, but not confirmed). She married a William Bundren who lived in the Caney Valley area of Claiborne County on the Grainger County line.
