From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Jennings-339

Anne is currently siad to have been the daughter of Edmund Jennings MP and his spouse, Margaret however, this Anne who is indicated as having been born in colonial Virginia could not have been the daughter of Edmund and Margaret simply because they never immigrated to Virginia. Douglas Richardson, Magna Carta Ancestry, does have a daughter named Anne for Edmund and Margaret however she is not indicated as being born or having immigrated to Virginia. It appears that this Anne may be the daughter of Col Edmund Jennings and his spouse Frances Corbin. [3] Col Edmund Jennings, who was acting Governor of Virginia 1706-10 was a son of Edmund and Margaret. [3] Col Edmund Jennings and Frances did have a daughter named Anne, but it is uncertain if the Anne that is said to have married George Bledsoe was their daughter. Research is ongoing Douglass-990 15:05, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

It appears that this Anne has been confused for the earlier Anne Jennings, dau of Edmund and Margaret Jenning who would actually be her grandparents.
