Jinny was born circa 1807 and was enslaved by the white planter, John Sunday, Sr. Following the death of Sunday's wife, Barsheba Collins, Jinny bore John Sunday four children: Harrison, Mercedes (known as Amanda) Sunday Ruby, Thomas (aka David) and John Sunday, Jr.

John Sunday, Sr filed manumission papers freeing Jinny and her children upon his death. A few years later, Sunday was murdered, leaving Jinny and her children to fend for themselves as free people of color in Pensacola.Front from left:
Francis Sunday (1863-1866)

John Sunday, Jr (1838-1925)

It has been suggested by Anita Mills that this is Virginia Rosa "Jinny" Harrison Sunday born 1820 in North Carolina and died 1898 in Pensacola, FL. I have not been able to confirm that information. But since someone has already linked her to John Sunday as her spouse, I feel obligated to supply the information.
