came the expl.nAtiOa that the painter,
being in his dosagr. had been ssnt for to
town D. sign some documents. and there-
upon .-faneied be hsd by his autograph
secured the property" but the fact came
cot incidentally thst there Vas q Jen-
nings, or rather JenDens Family ascot
alton, whose members were in constant
expectation Of having all doubts a. to
their identity cleared away. A genera
ton later, in various parts OF the United
States, similar associations seem TO be
cherishing like hopes. The Jennens fam
lily was one of the first to grow wealthy
in the metal trade-button- making, &c,
at Birmingham. Humphry left several
sons, of whom Robert became the aid-de-
camp to William ILL.,, dealt largely in
land aud was intrusted with the manage
ment of much of the Duke Of MarlbOr-
ough's property. He left son, William,
godson-some said the son-of William
ILL.,, who died in 1893, leaving, besides
real estate, the almost unprecedented
sum of 100000 sterling. For years
he had not claimed his dividens or the
interest on his mortgages, and some $780,
600 in new gold and ten. year-old bank
notes were found in his strong box.
There was will found, but it was un-
signed, as he had not had his spectacles
in his pocket when he went to execute
his deed. In the absence of . will the
reality passed to his heir at-law, the de-
scendant of his fathers eldest brother. 1tis
now held by Earl Howe. The personal
ity went to his nearest of kin, William
Lyon and the Viscountess Andover,
grandchildren of his aunts. Precisely
how many lawyers have made q living
by encouraging folk in the belief that the
estate of from $50, 900 900 to $500, 000,-
900 is awaiting claimants, there is no
method of discovering, nor is it very clear
when and by whom the story was orig
inally set afoat. In August, 1851, Mr..
w. w. Whiddet, of Newburg, advertised
for heirs to the Jennings estate; in De.
cember, 1865, similar advertisement
was published by Mr.. r. r. Hitler, OF
Jersey City. There was another furry
in 1875; now their il = renewal Of the
excitement. 1t is quite likely that the
crack Of doom will surprise several con.
ventions of these patient and long.hop-
ing folk in session, raising the $4,000
which are always necessary to complete
the evidence and enable them to enter in
to possession of wealth, beside which the
riches of the Rothschild are contemplate.
