That may have been simply the way she referred to the plantation, just as you might say "There was a nice reception at Sherrill's (home)."

  Subject: Jenningses Plantation


  At the time of her death in 1782, my direct ancestress the indomitable
  Hannah (Lee) Corbin had a plantation in Westmoreland County, VA known as
  Jenningses. She was first married to Gawin Corbin and then had a liason with a  Dr.
  Richard Lingan Hall). She mentions  this plantation in her will and  there was a
  sale of personal property there.. Yet this plantation does not show  up in
  Mary R. Miller's Place Names of the Northern Neck nor is it in  Westmoreland
  County, VA (the book printed in 1983 by the Westmoreland Board of  Supervisors) or
   I do not find it in any deeds in the Westmoreland Circuit  Clerk's Office
  nor Eubank's Authentic Guide Book to the Historic Northern  Neck.  There are a
  number of individuals named Jennings in the  Colonial period but I cannot tie
  them in to this plantation. Does anyone  have any ideas/suggestions ? William
