Research Notes:
1524: listed on subsity return "Theberton. John Jenney esquyer in goodes 26.13.4" [Ref: Hervy Suffolk p298]

16 Sep 1532: wrote will, identifying himself as "I John Jenney of Dunwich in the countye of Suffolk, one of the younger sonnes of Sir Edmond Jenney knyght" [Ref: Hovius JENNEY p13]

In the preamble to his last will and testament, written on 16 September 1532, he identifies himself with a clarity that genealogists wish everyone would use: "I John Jenney of Dunwich in the countye of Suffolk, one of the younger sonnes of Sir Edmond Jenney knyght." John's lengthy and carefully worded will passes over his elder children in favor of his son Henry, the first child begotten with his second wife, and then in the event of Henry's death gives all of Henry's siblings preference as heirs over their elder half-brothers:
"And if my said sonne Henry dye without issue male of his body laufully begotten than I will the same manor of Genneys with the appurtenances shall remayn to the heires males of the bodies of me and the said Anne my wife begotten. And for defaute of suche issue than the said manour of Jenneys and all the forsaid manor landes and tenementes in Suffolk, to remayn to William Jenney my son and to the heires males of his body lawfully begotten. And for defaute of suche issue the remaynder therof unto my sonne Edmonde Jenney and to the heires males of his body lawfully begotten. And for defaute of suche issue the remaynder of the same Genneys and all the foresaid landes is Suffolk shall remain to my daughters yf any I shall fortune to have and to the heires of their bodies begotten" {TNA, PROB 11/24, PCC Will Register: Thower}.
It seems that John Jenney of Dunwich succeeded in ensuring that the bulk of his estate would pass to his heirs by his second marriage.
"And where as I leve my wife charged with vj childer, and charged with dettes for the purchace of my londes and of my deues for the performance of my father's wille and other meane dettes and restitutions. Wherfor I woll all my moveable goodes and dettes owing to me shalbe levied and paid with my said moveable goodes and of, my londes purchased in Lincolnshire and of my said manor of Genneys and to goe to the bringing upp of my v younger childer gottyn betwix my said wife and me till they be of abill discretion to be putt forth to service or prentises, or to be men of religion or other weyes and to have grace and fortune to gett and atteyn therin honest lyving. And after the deceas of their mother they shal have every of them xl s, by yere as it apperith in the said indenture ... And if it happen my said wife after my deceas to be maried ageyn than I well after my wille performed that the profits of my purchased bodes in Lincolnshire and the said manor of Genneys shall by myn executours be evynly distributed among my said younger sonnes during the naturall lyfe of their mother."
So seven children, then, of John and his second wife Anne: Henry and six more, six boys in all likelihood; note that in the first extract of the will cited above John refers to "daughters, yf any I shall fortune to have" while the last paragraph above specifically refers to "younger sonnes."
