Jennings, George
Jennings, George , Farmer, Otara. Mr Jennings was born in 1847 in Cork, Ireland, where he was brought up to farming. In 1875 he arrived at the bluff by the ship “Pomona,” and two years later took up 200 acres of land on the deferred payment system at Otara. He has since increased his holding to over 800 acres of freehold, the whole of which he has greatly improved. Mr Jennings devotes himself chiefly to the raising of crossbred stock. He has been a director of the Otara Co-operative Cheese Factory, and is a member of the Otara school committee. He was married, in 1875, to a daughter of Mr John Grey, of County Leitrim, Ireland, and has four sons and two daughters.
