More about Sir William Jennens from Andrew

Andrew passed on more information about Sir William Jennens, which I have further supplemented. He was active at sea from 1661 until 1690. He was a captain in the navy and a Jacobite. He was knighted. He commanded the Ruby in the Battle of Lowestoft (3 June 1665) and in the Four Days' Battle from 1st to 4th June 1666. He also commanded in the St. James's Day Battle, where he commanded the Lion. He was captain of the 2nd Rate Victory in 1673, and served under Prince Rupert. He entered service in the French navy in 1689 and served under Tourville at Beach Head in 1690. He was born in 1634 and died about 1700.
