I found our Jennie! Her name appears to have have been Jane, but Jennie is listed on her tombstone and on her husband's Civil War Pension application, so that is what the family calls her. Jennie's parents were Andrew Summers and Susan Ford. I'm working on their file and this page will be changed in the near future.
