http://www.whydah.com/gents.html *Henry Jennings: Probably the son of Richard Jennings, a Bermudian sea captain who had been peripherally involved in an apparent Jacobite plot to hi-jack an entire British naval squadron in 1707. Possibly related to the William Jennings family of Great Britain, which had strong associations with the Jacobite movement and with Jacobite privateering. Jennings was one of the privateers illegally commissioned by Governor Lord Archibald Hamilton in November and December 1715, and conducted a number of serious raids against French and Spanish shipping. One of his most notable captures, that of the French vessel Ste Marie in March 1716, was conducted in conjunction with two pirate periaguas of Bellamy’s crew, the latter which thereafter absconded with much of the loot from the prize. Jennings and most of his men were fortunately dis-inclined to commit serious robberies against British shipping after his capture of the Ste. Marie, and he eventually turned her over to British authorities at Jamaica. He was pardoned in 1718 and was again operating as a legitimate merchant and privateer by the 1720’s.
