Cyrus JENNINGS, of Hortonville [Rutland County, Vermont], was born 23 
February 1838 in Hubbardton [Rutland County, Vermont], son of Justin and 
Harriet (HILL) JENNINGS. Having received his education in the common schools 
he adopted farming as his profession, in which pursuit he has been vigorously 
engaged to the present time. Strong Democratic in his political faith, he 
has enjoyed the confidence of his fellow townsmen to such an extent that they 
have seen fit to entrust him with the offices of selectman and lister. In 
1876 he was called upon to represent his native town [Hubbardton] in the 
General Assembly, which honor was supplemented by an election to the state 
Senate in 1890. On 13 November 1861, Mr. [Cyrus] JENNINGS was united in 
marriage to Alice E., daughter of N. H. EDDY. Four sons have blessed this 
union: William A., Edward J., Elmer E., and Joseph S.
