Roscoe Jennings moved to Washington County not long before the outbreak of the Civil War. After serving as a surgeon in the Twelfth Arkansas Infantry, he moved to Little Rock (Pulaski County) and established a private practice. In 1879, he joined seven colleagues in founding the Medical Department of Arkansas Industrial University, now the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).
